Mrs RickyBoy's newish Fiesta needs its coolant topping-up. We have at least half-a-litre of Renault's own-brand leftover from her last Clio which was bought in the past 12-months.

Is there any danger in pouring Renault pre-mixed stuff into a Ford or should one really stick to the respective manufacturer recommended liquids?... Read more

I jacked up the rear of my citroen (c5, diesel, 2005 model, must be on hydractive III ) to change the wheels, upon completion, the rear suspension would not come down, I am not sure but when it was jacked up, I might have pressed the down button. Do you think this confused the computer system? or something is dislocated? The height switch button in the car is working and is able to raise and lower the front suspension There are no error messages on the control panel I took it to a local garage that claims they are the only citroen dealers in the country, but they could not touch it claiming they are used to other suspension but this one is electronic

Well, now that we've got a bit of respite from the damp, grey, blustery weather and are enjoying a snap of 'proper winter, I thought that I'd start a thread of cold weather driving.

This year, I've started using the hot water on the windscreen de-icing trick. Fantastic! Thermos of hot water all over the windscreen and rear window, jump in and find that the heat has already demisted the inside. Crank and go.
