Hi Everyone, have not been on here for a while!
I was just wondering that if a car, such as the Mazda 6 diesel 2008 2.0tdi was to run-away on its own fuel, by turning off the ignition - would it cause the run-away to stop?... Read more
HI Guys,
Thanks for your answers. I am going to start another post, which again answers would be great and its for ease of reference for anyone else looking for the same answers...I do apologise in advance as its about biofuel!
Hey guys,
I currently have a 58 plate Ford Fiesta (Newer Shape), and it was my first car. I am now 19, and looking to upgrade to something slightly better, now that i've reached my two years of driving.... Read more
I do get the BMW ultimate driving tag but I fail to see how any of the 1, 3 or 5 series could even qualify as good looking, but beauty is in the eye.....
I had a 323i back in the 80's after a succession of front wheel drive cars. I spun it in a BIG way into a tree on a bend I used to take much faster in a Mk 2 Golf GTi which on reflection was the better car. I know nowadays electronics intervene when you need them but rwd can be tricky to master. I don't particularly like VWs now but nevertheless a 2.0 TFSi GTI would get a look in for me, one of the better 4cyliner engines around. I'd probably go for an Octavia vRS same engine but the badge would probably offend most BMW wannabees.
I recently purchased an Audi A4 Avant from The Car Shop in Norwich.
The dash-board has been informing my that the Day-time running lights weren't on. I didn't have a problem with that, and used the car as normal. However, after a couple of weeks I went into the menu to turn these lights on, mainly to get rid of the warning. The menu had this option switched on.... Read more
Currently Drls are not part of the mot test.So if one or both are not working then this does not constitute a fail.Sure does sound like the car has had some action at the front end.hth
Hi,
I have an S Max 2011 plate from new. My problem is that, this is the 3rd or 4th time that the tailgate lock has ceased to work. As soon as you shut it, it pops open again AND if you cannot get into the car quickly and shut and lock all doors, it opens again. ... Read more
Remove Mann filter, replace with Ford-approved one, take it to Ford garage down the road.
Excellent solution!
When will the fuel companies here pass on relatively quickly, reduced pump prices as the cost of crude continues to drop.
In the U.S. they report that since Sept. 5th., a gallon of petrol has dropped 26c with an anticipated further 20c expected by Christmas. They expect a gallon to fall below $3 everywhere. In some states it is already $2.99.... Read more
Even though there is huge tax on the retail of road fuel, don't forget that a raft of additional taxes were introduced upstream too, so the whole thing and us are being taxed to the edge.
I also saw a programme on TV, that showed that a £4 bottle of wine only has 20p of wine in it as there is a £3.80 tax, duty and bottling overhead which has to be met before the actual wine is paid for. This is all paid out of income already taxed at 25%....
I have a nearly new (11 month old) SEAT Toledo.
One of the rear doors fills up with water whenever it rains - large amounts of it sloshing around.... Read more
As the Mechanic says, you will not keep rainwater (or carwash water) out of the door. You can only make sure that it can get out easily at the bottom. Poke something soft (e.g.plastic or wooden) up all the drain holes, and check that any weatherseals don't cover the holes as the door closes.
Nice! C'mon Suzuki you can do a Cappuccino remake too! Read more
What about the new model Honda Jazz aka Fit? It's already launched in Japan - so whens it coming to the UK? Anybody know?
That is not strictly true, there are companies who have no market value clause what so ever however if you read the ALA is not one of them. If you read the policy their terms state that if you accept an offer which is less than market value that they do not have to pay you any more and their liability will not increase.
They may well pay from the insurance companies settlement however that is not what the terms and conditions say.
Small point but also the FOS changed to the FCA in April this year. Read more
The Bias & 1 sided approach of the FOS is very evident
& clear.
They preach they are industry funded, ignoring that our
premiums will cover that outlay the following year....

I use valet parking at Manchester airport at lot, but I do not use an agent website, rather I book with the company I use directly.
If you book with a company directly and get personal recommendations, you should not have a problem. I used a agent website for Liverpool Airport last year and it was a poor experience.
At first I did pointedly note the mileage, but now I don't bother.
You may ask why bother with valet parking, but it far nicer and no more expensive than parking in a remote car park and waiting for a bus to the terminal. Also on the return home, the car is waiting for us at the terminal, engine running and interior getting warm; a more than welcome sight when it is 10:30pm in Manchester but we are coming from a timezone where it is half past midnight.
