For the last month, The warning light is on the start and stop, So good chance that the battery is on its way out since the car is now over 5 years old
Looking at new batteries, Its so confusing when looking on buying a battery, Take for instance euro car parts, Put in my reg number and gives me a range of batteries ... Read more
Why do you persist in promoting very expensive new cars which few if any of your readers can afford, especially in the present economic climate? Read more
Hi, my Citroën AX I have fit a tachometer because I am deaf, my tachometer it looks inaccuracy it needs adjustment, my multimeter put the four cylinders on and connect to the W+ on my alternator, one on the chassis, my multimeter shows idle is 624rpm but my Hayne said 895rpm, and it won't show over 1,999 rpm it comes out like this ---- It makes me wonder the multimeter is not accuracy.
If I buy a laser tachometer to point to the cam belt, would this work accuracy rpm? ... Read more

When it comes to resale would the extra toys on option 2 counter the extra mileage, say in 3 years time?
Bear in mind that cars, including (and especially) second hand cars are much more expensive than the norm, mainly due to the supply chain and logitstical issues surrounding new cars. Some reports have remarked that second hand prices are 25-33% higher than the historical norm.
Other recent reports have most Western economies either teetering on the cusp or already in a recession, which is likely to get significantly worse over the next year or so....
Hi I’m just about to buy this car and can u tell me if it is a Toyota engine , my father seems to think it’s a Suzuki thanks Read more
I simply can’t understand why Toyota can’t make a smooth running Diesel engine.
A customer of mine has a Land Cruiser with a 4.2 straight six turbo diesel, it's plenty smooth!
Hey there,
I've had this issue in my car for a long time and i'd really appreciate some advice... ... Read more
Not 100% understanding. When you say the brake light comes on constantly but also doesn't work, what do you mean? Do you mean the two that do work are stuck on and the one that doesn't work still isn't coming on?
Either way, yes, it sounds like you made a mistake putting the new switch in if has fixed nothing but created a new problem....
Turns out its quite a sensitive seismic detector when up on axle stands, and an effective cardiovascular and limbo-dancing stimulant if you are underneath it when its detecting.
I scooted out sharpish in plenty of time to take La Presidenta's warning text message.... Read more
How long did it take you to decide:
1. Should I stay here and use the car to to protect me from falling masonry....
This isn't really a post about the cars themselves its more about asking should I get a car I like the look of and/or buying one for practical use.
The type of person I am is that, I love efficiency but I do care about the look of the cars but I do not like the look of most of the cars that are mpg cars. I have the fortunate position to be able to have little bit of money as in 5k to spend on my first car and I cannot choose from Eco/mpg or pleasure........ Read more
If he has no NCD and this is his first car choose small and cheap like a Citroën C1 or equivalent Peugeot or Toyota Aygo. Insurance could easily be a couple of grand.
Plus your almost guaranteed to scrape it on something. So cheap and small is the order of the day. Three four years later different story.
Can anyone tell me the sliding switch positions for charging and starting on the Ring RCB320 charger/starter? There are three positions, fast charge/slow charge/start but it is not obvious which way the switch works. This isn't helped by the fact that there are no position markings beneath the switch. Should the switch be fully to the left or to the right for the starting function? Any help appreciated. Read more
Thanks very much. It is as I thought, fully left for the start function. Unfortunately, on my unit, the bottom of the switch obscures the print below the switch. When the switch is pushed fully to the left, "slow charge" is uncovered on the right which could be mistaken for meaning this was the slow charge position. Makes sense now.
Thank you for your help on this , I have checked the sizes and poles and everything is the old battery
