Would you like your next car to be greener, more fuel efficient and less costly to run, if so how much extra would you be prepared to pay for an optional extra that promised to offer you a 'real world' increase of say 4.5 to 5 mpg (an increase of approx 1 mile per litre) in your week to week fuel economy? *I.E. List price of the basic car is £10,000, or say £10,100 for the enhanced real world economy version.
For the purposes of your 'cost benefit analysis please assume:... Read more
Considering how easy it is to get more MPG for free by driving smoother, keeping a regular check on tyre pressures and not carrying around extra weight, I can't imagine anyone would pay anything for the OP's system.
Some months I get 540 miles out of a full tank, some nearer 570. Unless you're an avid fuel effiency nut who monitors their fuel usage I can't see anyone really caring....
I've been looking for a car that will take our two 22ins wide dog crates side by side.
The Tourneo Connect will but we have to have an automatic and Ford have only made it in an automatic petrol version that's v expensive to buy and run.... Read more
The lugs are at about eye height for a standing bearded collie and would protrude into the side of the crate. They're normally covered by a sprung loaded plastic shroud to stop users injuring themselves. You could cut a suitable hole in the side of each crate, but I'm not sure what it would do to the crate's structural integrity and you'd still have a steel lug waiting to poke a dog in the face.

Brilliant, as usual. It's terrible that we can't have that here, it's the result of the great unwashed flocking to buy ( or rent more likely ) fleets of those dull grey German cars, leaving only the crumbs for the best car company in the world to chase after. There should be a ban on people without degrees from a decent university being allowed to drive bland so called premium models. They should be required to paste their university certificates in the window in the space vacated by the recently discarded tax disc. Read more

I presume there is no switch on the dash for lock/unlock function.So there should be the facility to lock unlock from the drivers door pop up button.If this is not working,then I would suspect a fault with the driver door locking unit or wiring to it.
Driving on the A41 Hendon way, saw the lights change and decided not to chance it, so braked and stopped for the lights, Tipper truck behind emergency braked and whatever he had in the back (big and heavy) broke loose and hit the front of his load compartment with an almighty bang, although he stopped a good 3 feet from the back of my car.
Oooof!... Read more
Such is progress.....
Or not, you probably get recovered on a flatbed now if you manage to survive a VW throttle potentiometer failure by the sound of it.
Music to your ears Avant, original throttle cable on the old Merc is still going strong, the autobox downshift cable snapped at one of the nipples about 5 years ago, i used one of those chocolate block connectors to piece the two parts together, worked as good as new, finally got a new downshift cable on about 2 months ago....
