Fitted two Driveguards on rear of a BMW E90 last year. Both now below legal limit, having done only 10,000 miles. Not down to driving style - one budget brand that was on the car when I bought it two years ago still has more tread then the Bridgestones. Not good. Read more

My car, which is an Audi A4 2.0 TDi Se Technik 136 4dr, has just had its MOT. Everything was fine except that the tester stated that the clutch was showing signs of wear. The car was registered in July 2011 and has done around 42k miles.

One could only asume that he noted a high bite which I have a feeling is a know issue with some VWs/Audis. This gives the impression that clutch is in a worst state than it really is, so basically for now no action required.

I have £4,000 to spend. I need a small hatchback. I don't know much about cars. I need to know which cars to avoid that can have expensive failures. What would you recommend to buy? Read more

Avoid any automatic that is not a torque converter and avoid anything made by the volkswagen group over 3 years old.

One thing that really annoys me nowadays with new cars is that buyers have very little or no choice when it comes to basic equipment. Options lists are often vast and comprehensive but fail to address features of the car that potential owners would not welcome but have to put up with willy-nilly, as they are just foisted on us with no way of configuring the car to our own preferences. The reason given is always that assembly lines cannot be stopped or adjusted to suit individual tastes in fitments, but in the age of robots and computer-aided manufacture this argument doesn't hold water, particularly since manufacturers' websites encourage us to configure or customise or build the cars to our own specifications - ha, ha! Some examples: I find the Peugeot 2008 a very attractive car, the more so since I have been buying Peugeots for more than forty years but I shan't buy this one because I find the steering wheel and instrument set-up crazy, so that's a deal-breaker; but I can't have normal instruments as an option. The salesman says I'd get used to this I-Cockpit, but I don't want a car that I have to get used to. Similarly, some cars that I fancy have electric parking brakes, which I also don't want, but I couldn't get a normal brake, unless in some cases I chose a lesser specification. Other desirable features are available only as part of a bigger package that contains things I wouldn't find attractive. Skoda used to have a very good system whereby you could buy a base model and then spec it up as you desired, from a list of very useful options, but since they changed the ranges and upped their prices by about 20% they too have restricted options mainly to expensive packages. And don't even mention spare tyres!

Thanks for reading this complaint: I had to get it off my chest. Read more

Squij, OP is 'original poster', the person who started the thread.

Just in case you thought it meant something less kindly : )

I have drove this car for a number of years now but have started to have a problem with starting when cold ( usual problems) having changed the glow plugs I was told that the Wax stat needs changing as my choke is not working.
Having tried to find this part I think that it could be called something else.

Any help would be much appreciated

I like to keep a pump in the car as it is useful for checking pressure in ones own driveway and also for a get you home top up with a minor leak.

My old pump is 15 years old and will barely do 30 psi for my bicycle!... Read more

You can't buy a decent quality footpump today, all the ones I've bought in recent years have just fallen apart.

Seem to remember HJ wrote that he uses one of those upright foot-stirrup type pumps normally intended for bicycles. I guess good quality ones of those can still be bought....

While changing the front left wheel on a Ford Ka, the screw jack supplied with the car suddenly collapsed without warning. The screw thread was in good condition, lightly oiled over paint indicating the first use of the jack. The jack foot was vertically below the correct sill jacking point, extension did not exceed 355mm. Failure was caused by the pressed steel sides spreading and the plastic threaded boss popping out. The car is year 2005; 47,000 miles.... Read more

Are you the first owner of the car and the jack? If not it may have been misused in the past.
