Hi
Above car has erratic idle and slight misfire. Generally drives ok in higher ranges with full pulling power.... Read more
Not sure whether this has been discussed before but why are rear daytime running not required by law? How many newish cars do you see without any rear lights on in attrocious driving conditions. Seems like a no brainer to me but there is obviously a reason. Read more

Hi, we're in the process of looking for a new car, and on our current car the engine light has come on. We booked it into the garage and they ran the codes... the garage has said it doesn't really like working with DPF filters and hence won't do any work on it. It's frustrating because we were in the process of looking for a new car. Anyway, my question is... do these codes relate to a clogged DPF? So could I get rid of the codes by getting the DPF cleanned (i.e. about £300). Here are the codes:
P16EA-00 - NOx emission control system - Ammonia emissions too high... Read more
So a new adblue injector is what it needs.

I was once a very proud owner of a 2002 Honda Accord that'd I'd owned for well over a decade and would fail its MOT every year, usually on welding, which I'd get done by whoever (the last welder was a mobile chap, he was not only awesome but also the cheapest). Bangonomics 101. Anyway, during those episodes, I learned (correct me if I'm wrong) that the MOT people aren't allowed to go scraping off any underseal, so I don't think you can really blame the MOT people as such for not discovering those massive holes.....

If we could use emoticons, yes. I guess I could have typed "swivel eyes" or something similar.
Ah! Sorry B-I-G....
Daughter had washer problems and so hubby had to try to solve.
Finally after wrecking the wheel arch liner to get to the bottle, there was a little mesh filter in the pump, full of crud, removed and cleaned with bleach overnight. Now to find a replacement wheelarch liner. Is that important? Read more
Vaguely remember improvising a wheel arch liner from a bin bag, with a little sunflower oil in it. This goes off slowly and sticks the two sides together, giving the resultant sheet a bit of shape holding capability.
More SFO painted on the inside of the wheel arch helped hold it in place....

This sideshow is getting tedious now, can we get back to answering the OP's questions.
Thanks...
Hi how reliable is this car? 2017 model. I currently have a BMW 1 series diesel its cheap to run and had no issues with it. However, I need a 3 isofix rear or a 3 adult seat car.
Would a Citroen be reliable enough or is there a better make such as Seat, Audi or BmW that has either 3 isofix or 3 full adult seat rear seats Read more
I'd be thinking about a small(er) seven seater like a Mazda 5 or Ford S-Max.
An S-Max isn't a small seven seater, surely you are thinking of a Grand C-Max?....
Excellent car except that the intelligent speed limit assist is as much use as a chocolate tea pot. When you set it to read the speed limit signs, it does, for a few minutes only. Then if it does not see a speed limit repeater it turns off. It also turns off if you operate a direction indicator.
There are no 30mph repeater in the UK nor national speed limit signs. Hence not much use.... Read more
Yet another gadget on a car that at the end of the day can only increase its purchase price. You need good eyesight to drive a car and see all the road furniture including the speed signs.. Always wondered why there is such a long queue behind some cars. They must have these speed limiter gadgets on on maybe just being ultra cautious and law abiding ...
Hi Everyone,
I am having a bit of a problem with the Idling RPM on my MG ZS (1.00 Ltr Exclusive) and could do with a bit of guidence please, be aware it is the new model 2023.... Read more
Hi John,
Your comments are very interesting, I have just purchased a brand new MG ZS and the cruise control functionality is inconsistent, when using the lever to accelerate or de accelerate via the one mph increments. Sometimes it misses and you have to activate the lever again, sometimes it doesn’t work at all and sometimes it just jams the whole system up, meaning you have to turn if off and back on again to regain its activity....
