• Vw bora - Footwell leak 28 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  First the pollen filter cover had split. I repaired this with some plastic. I also checked the drain at the side, but this was clear. Bear in mind that the water entering the car is not under pressure. It's simply finding the easiest route down.
• peugeot bipper citroen nemo fiat qubo - advice on buying a nemo/bipper/qubo please 26 May 2014 (Forum)
  Hi I currently own a metallic blue 2003 citroen berlingo multispace 1.9 diesel, its a great car with plenty of space and only covered 58k miles, but i am thinking of selling it and buying a citroen nemo, bipper or qubo car because they are newer and i think look better.

• BMW 5 Series E60 - BMW engine stop/start button 4 Aug 2011 (Forum)
    Does anyone know if the car has an upgraded alternator or some kind of energy recovery from the brakes to allow this? I've read the manual from cover to cover but it glances over this, so I suspect it's more of a gimmick than anything useful!
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2002 1.8 Oil change on diesel 10 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I thought normally oil in diesel cars would turn black immediately. Is this down to the good condition of the engine, the quality of the oil or driving characteristics? Some points: Car has covered 105K (up to 67k it was a lease car probably used to pound motorways) I rarely go over 3000K revs I change the oil between 7000-12000 miles depending on the type of driving done The oil cost £15 for 5L, semi synthetic (carlube from sutton auto factors, is £15 a bit cheap for semi syn?)
• Mazda 323 - Battery not working then works 28 Jun 2010 (Forum)

• Audi A1 Sportback - Audi sprucing up black interior plastic 1 Sep 2020 (Forum)
  Used black stove and grate polish on the car today to cover scratches on interior plastics. Can’t believe how good it looks. Just hope no one gets in the car with white trousers on now! Has anyone else used unusual products on car care?
• Spot your car in Google Earth 22 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  I see that Google Earth has released its street view service for the UK. It only seems to cover major cities and they've blurred out faces and reg numbers but I'd imagine a few here could spot their cars at work or in the drive! And whatever your views on the big brother aspect, it is pretty amazing technology.

• Renault Scenic - Used car warranty problems 3 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  I don't think this would be fair. It's not something I can afford but the car is under warranty so should'nt they still have it covered even if they find the turbo not to be the problem. financially, it's very risky for me. Any advice would be very much appreciated if anyone knows.
