If the 12 v battery goes flat, then that's catastrophic.
1. What is the point of this battery considering there's a much larger battery already in the car... Read more
I always wonder what is the best way to clean your car interior and keep it fresh like new. I would like to know something that we can do at home rather than going for a detailed car wash. Read more
I take the carpets out.
I suppose that isn't "like new", but it is conducive to ""clean""

Genuine new Ford injectors would need to be supplied from a Ford dealer .
Here's a tour that I have discussed before in other places. It can include various routes which are these.
Edinburgh to London (the old A1)... Read more
I suppose so. If Route 66 was a traffic jam passing around various unpleasant towns. This country is not really big enough or empty enough for road trips, I'm afraid.
Granddaughter will soon have twins to accommodate, she already has a 2 year old and a 3 year old.
They have a limited budget so will be looking at used cars, locally there seem to be a few Hyundai and Kia 7 seaters at reasonable prices, but mostly with fairly high mileage.... Read more
I assume with the 2.4 diesel?
check out the potential timing chain issues. Google is your friend. The older ones may have rust issues.
Hello I would like to say to everyone on this forum that I'm not a spam bot like you accused me of been. If you don't like new posters posting here so then be it! I just won't be here ever again. I hate forums that do this. Spam is when a bunch of fake users all register and then make hundreds of pointless threads advertising porn or shopping websites. Do you think that I'm doing that? Does it look like I'm posting porn here? I wouldn't do anything like that! The only reason why I posted here is as one particular forum stopped general discussion a while ago. I wouldn't have even known how much hate the post was going to get. Enjoy your day. Read more

Here in Yorkshire right along the coast they have done a car tour known as Route YC. It covers North and East Yorkshire naturally starting at Staithes where the Teesside/North Yorkshire boundary is. The tour covers the 6 seaside towns along the Yorkshire Coast and can be split into 6 local tours too. I'll put in a description of them all.

Good evening. My elderly husband is no longer able to lift and remove his lucas battery from his van. I am trying to find if there is some sort of winch of a table top size rather than a floor standing one that could be adapted to help him to lift it in and out of the engine bay onto a table below. We dontbhavevthevroom for storing the types of tools have been seeing on amazon etc so am wondering if anyone one has any ideas please
You might want to look into a portable, tabletop mini winch or electric hoist that can be mounted on a table or a sturdy frame. These are much smaller and could help with lifting the battery in and out of the engine bay without taking up too much space.
Help needed please ! My wife has a 2011 Toyota Aygo , 3 door with 70k on that has served us well for 7 years. It's been using oil excessively now for a number of months despite circa £500 worth of work done 12 months ago. We have decided it is time for a change. We have a budget of 6.5k /7k at a push for what must be a city car. My wife likes the fiat 500 and we have considered the VW UP too. Is the 1.2 engine in the fiat ok or even newer 1 litre turbo? We have never bought a fiat before and it definitely has more character but the fiat reputation is nagging. Usage would be no motorways and around 4 to 5k per annum. The other option Is to take the Aygo to another garage but don't really want to keep throwing money at it. Advice needed please!

Just a note regarding my personal take on the Aygo interior.
I had one as a rental car in Northern Ireland last week and the cabin (compared to my son's Kia Piccanto) was very low rent. Ive never been surrounded by so much hard black plastic....

I was under the bonnet of the new EV3 a couple of weeks ago, and that has a separate, conventional 12V battery.
I think it’s the PHEV’s that have the integral 12V battery.
