• Is it the right price for a 406?? 5 May 2003 (Forum)
  I've just bought what apears to be a pretty mint Peugeot 406 2.0 SRi Turbo for £2550. It is a 1998 S-reg with 97,000 miles, silver, FSH, new tyres, Climate control and all the other usual 406 goodies. Compared to Parkers guide its a good buy, but is this really a good buy????

• Jaguar (Avant, Shooting Brake, Touring)? 28 Jul 2002 (Forum)
  Was this ever released or has someone chopped around with it? It had the double headlights and looked like an early 90's model with a private plate. Very strange to look at, but quite nice all the same. Must have a huge boot. Jonathan
• Lexus 16 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  There is a problem with the Lexus that needs to be addressed, i.e. how do you refer to a plurality of them? Do you just add an 's' as in Astras, Peugeots, etc? (A fleet of Lexuss) Refer to them as 'Lexi' (as in hippopotami) or 'Lexuses' as in buses. Or just 'Lexus', as in Walrus. Can anybody think of any other car with a name ending in 'us'?
• Audi S3 & TT wheels falling off 29 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  Reported in Autocar. There have been 6 S3's and TT's affected so far. If you have one of these, phone your dealer and get them to collect it, don't drive it. Lower radius arm snaps and the wheel folds in. Can happen at any speed. That's the S3 off my list then......

• Poor road surfaces - 4x4 Best ? 24 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  Hi, Noticed in one of HJ's responses in the Telegraph a recommendation that 4x4's were a good idea with today's poorly-repaired roads and traffic 'calming' measures. What I am wondering is this - is a stiffly-sprung 'sports' suspension set-up, or a softly-sprung 'exec' type set-up, on a normal car, better or worse with regards potential damage ?

• Toyota Yaris Verso V reg - Headlamp change 26 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  The outer cover on the N/S headlamp is broken and needs replacing.  Does the bumper need taking off to get the headlamp out of its hole in the bodywork?  I've undone the two screws at the top and the clip at the left lower corner, but can't see how it is secured at the lower right corner.

• Gearbox noise - clutch ? Toyota Corolla. 20 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, My Toyota Corolla 2000 makes a sort of grinding noise when in gear, but out of gear the engine is its usual quiet self. My Toyota dealer reckons that my the gearbox has a worn bearing(s) (output?). Could the fault be a clutch related, though? I wonder, as the car is now at 110,000 miles. Anything else?!
