• Thank goodness for 3-year guarantees 4 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  What a waste and what a cost - luckily I\'ve still got 6 months of the warranty left otherwise I\'d have been tempted to find a local blacksmith\'s shop. Terry
• Is it terminal? Carlton Rear Diff. 14 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I quickly refilled with EP 90 (the official recommendation). It then reverted back to my regular \'shusshing\'. Regards to all Bob P.S. There\'s no \'play\' either vertically or horizontally in the prop shaft or axles so i guess this rules out bearings?

• Citroen DS - Any experience? 13 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I'm kind of thinking that I've got a lot of enjoyment out of my two Rover P6's that it might be time to move on to a new challenge. I've always liked the Citroen DS. My own knowledge is a bit patchy but I know that I'll probably go for a 21 Super 5 as it's by far the most popular one sold in the UK.
• Another MG ZR post (Dealer and Price) 9 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Can anyone give me a contact number at Rover to try to have a rational discussion with somebody in Sales? P S I am also eligible for MG car club Preferred Customer Discount - but nobody knows if that is "as well as" or "instead of".

• Hi Ho Silver! 2 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  - Every other car, 4X4 or MPV I see on the road these days, no matter what model or marque seems to be Silver. IMO the increase in popularity happened in the mid/late 90's - I especially recall seeing most of the "new" BMW 5's(E39) and Merc E class' coming out in Silver and it seemed that all the other marques followed suit. How many car adverts have you seen in recent years with Silver cars in them?

• Volkswagen Phaeton 22 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Absolutely hideous car by UK standards. Looks like a cross between a VW Passat and Pug 607. Compared to the beautiful new S class and imposing 7 series, it looks throughly cheap and nasty. The kind of thing you'd expect to pay $25k for in the US as far as external looks go. Who in their right mind would buy this car in the UK?
• Who is David Hardcastle? 14 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  I don't have any problem with paying charges to use some roads, once what we have already paid is spent on what it was collected for. If they were more honest about the budget they wouldn't need to top it up with pathetic "s************s", located on long straight stretches of safe road, or dual carriageways with 40 limits, which you join from single lane roads with a 60 limit.

• Peugeot - Peugeot Drivers 28 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  This Top Gear clip is still remembered by many and still makes a Peugeot salesman s job so difficult.   https://youtu.be/9TnGjq9mWSI   True to the image my dealer has copies of the Daily Mail and Express for the drivers to read and they play the Jeremy Vine show over the P A system.
