• Sheep Trailer - Replacing 155-400 Tyres On An Old Trailer. 18 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  I live in France and have an old two-wheeled sheep trailer maximum weight 490kg which has size 155-400 tyres. The trailer is in good condition so I would like to keep it. This is an old size tyre and now hard to find and expensive to buy.
• Space for 3 children? 6 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  However my wife and I recently had a new baby son - this completes our family (foot down this time ;)) and I'm now wondering about the plausibility of fitting 3 children in the back of the Vectra. We have a 3 month old - very small car seat at the moment and not a big problem, but will soon need the next stage. We also have a 4 year old - larger seat, more room. Finally we have a 7 year old - booster seat only.
• extreme bangernomics 8 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  Two blokes I know do nothing to their cars, zilch, nada, a Mazda Mx5 20 years old and a Jag S type pretty old. Jag cost about £800 and has merrily gone on for two years or so. Jag guy just runs them til they break and buys another, how they don't just stop running I don't know.
• Ford Focus 1.6 petrol - Ticking Injectors 20 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  I have a 9 month old petrol 1.6 Focus. Pretty happy with the car in general but compared to our old 1.6 Focus, the intectors seem to be very tickey especially when the engine is hot.  Is this a characteristic of these engines now, as they sound like tappets actually, but I'm sure the noise is just the injectors.
• Fitting Audio 13 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  I want to upgrade the old speakers in the door panels of a 4 year old car but am reluctant to simply attack the trim panels at random as I always seem to damage the clips and they never go back properly. Is there a more considered method or do I just grab and pull ?
• Help please! Newbie ... 15 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, I'm hoping that someone who knows something about cars will be able to point me in the right direction. We have been driving (and towards the end, bunny hopping and lane drifting) in a fifteen year old fiesta. Enough is enough! we need a new car!
• Nissan Almera Tino - Old Car, New Car 15 May 2016 (Forum)
    All sounds v long term - but I plan to keep the Tino until I have a nice wad of cash - probably 2.5 years and I'd like a 3 year old replacement.   I'd like the replacement vehicle to be a good vehicle for 3- 20 years of age. That means no diesels and no car that's a great fleet vehicle but an awful long term keeper.
• Pro-rata Car Insurance anywhere?? 25 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  My parents got a new car. Old car was gonna be scrapped..God know why but I thought it far to good to scrap so invested a little time & money & a new second hand engine fitted later, got it running again. It is now MOT'd and ready to get tax in order to drive/sell.

  I was at fault in an accident, do I pay my excess even if I don't claim for the damage to my own car? 12 Sep 2018 (Ask HJ)

• Larger family car needed 1 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Hello, new to this forum. My wife and myself are looking at getting a bigger car for our expanding brood, we have an eleven year old, a two year old and another on the way. Our Renault Clio is going to be too small. What i'd really like is a 5 seater but with 3 proper sized seats in the back, most 5 seaters have a pretty small middle seat in the back.
• Second hand car prices in USA 7 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  ... continue to amaze. Case in point: A guy near me selling an average looking 12 year old jap pickup truck. He wants $3,800 for it. Later the same day I passed what looked like a late 1980s relic with rot on the doors and they wanted $1,000! Yet looking on the austin rover forum there's a guy wondering about putting a new 200 quid clutch in his 12 year old Primera which he says still has many many more miles in it, because this is more than the car is worth.
