• Advice needed after accident :( 21 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  They tell me the chassis is twisted slightly due to the uneven impact and will need to be put on a jig to correct it. They estimate that to cost at least £100, plus about 8 hours labour. Then there's parts and spraying and fitting... he said he'd be surprised if it wasn't at least £2K. That's obviousley more than the car is worth. Insultingly, he offered me £250 for it in scrap because it had new tyres (which cost me £190 last week!).
• seat leon mk3 1.6tdi - Seat leon electrical gremlins - anyone any thought 6 May 2021 (Forum)
  Few days later on a long 4 hour trip I dropped the e/window and the traction control/abs/headlight range warning lights all came on. plus odd ball stuff like winter tyres and cornering light errors (which it doesn't have). My cousins garage up north read loads of low voltage warnings and rear left abs error. He swapped the abs sensor, checked wiring back to abs pump and all ok so he thought it might be the pump.

  G he will give me a hard time when he sees this. He teaches English occasionally so I will get a printout of this with red lines all over it! Plus lecture about bandwidth.. I have never been to UK, perhaps one day. Thanks HJ and moderators. Cathy.
• A very detailed explanation of how DPFs work 2 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  This arrangement forces the exhaust gases to flow through the porous walls, which acts as the filters medium. Particulates that are too big to pass through the porous walls are left behind and stored in the channels. To prevent the particulates creating an obstruction to the exhaust gas flow, the filter system provides a regeneration mechanism, which involves raising the temperature of the filter to such an extent that the particulates are incinerated and as a result removed from the filter.
• 2004 Pontiac GTO - Motor Trend review 7 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Even wearing its standard M+S tires, our test car scorched from [B]0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and tripped the quarter-mile lights in 13.62 seconds at 104.78 mph--numbers that would leave a 1960s-vintage GTO seeing yellow[/B]. When we last tested a supercharged Ford Mustang SVT Cobra (another front-V-8, rear-drive two-plus-two priced in the mid-$30s), it bettered those numbers, reaching 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds and nailing the quarter mile in 13.0 at 110.7 mph. But the track stats tell only a small fraction of the story.
