• peugeot and citroen - DPF issues 3 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  I've been reading various horror stories about dpf issues. I had never even heard of dpf until a few months ago. For years now I have had diesel cars becauseI need a decent size practical car for the family and to keep my income tax down on my company cars. I cover maybe 7000 miles per annum and the vast majority is covered around town normally short journeys.
• Ford Focus RS - Damage caused by loose drain cover 14 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Hi, A loose drain cover on a council owned road has just caused damage to my tyre and my alloy wheel. I wasn't speeding, it was a 30mph road and I was doing the speed limit. As I am a bit precious about my car I am always careful to look at the road ahead in order to avoid the usual pot holes.
• Ford Focus & TSBs 28 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  I was just about to give up and live with it until I read a Ford TSB that applied to my car that described this fault exactly. It basically means the aircon pump bracket needs to be re-aligned - not a job I want to do myself. My question is, would a Ford dealer carry out this job free as it is covered by a TSB or am I still liable for cost as theres no warranty?

• Renault Clio - Poor MPG 28 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  TBH We don't cover many miles a week and the car is only used for travelling to work which is a 12 mile round trip and we are lucky to cover 5000 miles a year, So the Engine doesn't really get time to get warmed up but after 7 years of owning the car, We have never really had many issues but i would like to increase the MPG.
• Toyota Verso - Insurance Trap useless windscreen cover 5 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  Windscreen broke but Admiral will only realistically use Autoglass. Complete disaster, after nearly 3 weeks turned up with windscreen for a left hand drive car (fixings for autowiper etc in wrong place) and informed that once they get the correct part the cars VIN plate will be covered by windscreen surround! Surely if their supplier can't supply within a reasonable time then the option should be available to get work done elsewhere at a cost that is not punitive to the policy holder.
• Audi A3 TDI - Audi long-life service intervals 15 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  My 2002 A3 1.9 TDI was last serviced by Audi in Oct 2009, at which point it had covered 121,000 miles.  It had a long-life service and I wasn't expecting to be back in the garage for another service until I'd racked up somewhere around 20,000 miles. It's now covered 133,000 miles and the car's service indicator is telling me it requires a service in 1,600 miles.

  Evening all I'm looking to change my current car, a Fabia to a small suv such as the Vitara from 2015 on or a late series 1 or early series 2 Tiguan.  I only cover 12,000 miles at the most so diesel would be out for service, although I may consider looking at one as at the weekend I cover around 150 miles out and about with the dogs.
