• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - 2.2 TDCi engine and run flats - experiences? 14 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  I'm considering a new S-Max and on paper the 2.2 TDCi looks like a good option next to the 2.0 TDCi (very similar running costs but a good bit more peformance). Just wondered if anyone had any real world experience of this engine in the S-Max, good or bad (I've seen the thread about the dodgy mapping - did a fix for this ever emerge?)
• French Notes 9 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Q - Equally, how can there still be a French motor industry when they seem to keep their cars for so long? I have seen Ami 8's, Simca 1100GLS's, Renault 16's 19's and 21's all huffing and puffing away Q - Why, when they are doing roadworks on a motorway, are there not 200 miles of cones and 1 lane and traffic jams for miles before you get to them?
• Peugeot 406 auto gear change 28 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  ve never been convinced by the gear change on my 406, it doesn?t slam instantaneously into the next gear like all my other autos have - sometimes it?s as slow as changing manually and kind of revs inbetween changes. The down -shift is fine, it?s only while shifting up. Sometimes it changes up - down - up in quick succession as if it?s not sure what to do.

• mini cooper s 1 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Having been delighted with my previous Mini Cooper, I bought a Mini Cooper S in July 2003 from deleted . Unfortunately my particular vehicle had a fault when moving off from cold. Although the dealer rectified this by reprogramming the software, it resulted in a new fault, causing \"lumpy\" acceleration between 2500 and 3500 rpm; I believe this problem is well known to BMW, and has been described by American enthusiasts as the Yo-Yo effect.

No, it was replaced because a (software?)
• Learning to drive in the late 2030's 22 May 2023 (Forum)
  Whilst out today I followed a Tesla with L plates. Got me thinking that there will come a time in the mid to late 2030's when the majority of driving school cars will be EVs and, unless the rules are changed, new drivers won't be able to drive cars with a manual gearbox.  Many first drives at present are older 'bangers' and manual and all those classics which they won't be able to enjoy.

• SEAT ALTEA - SEAT Altea S TDi 2 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  Hi my family are considering buying a SEAT Altea S TDi on motability. I owned a SEAT Ibiza SDi ten years ago which was very economical and mechanically solid, but the build quality was poor. I gather the quality on newer SEATs is a lot better and are the cars still mechanically good.
• Ford S-MAX - Should I be concerned? 26 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I test drove a 2.2 diesel (200PS)  S-Max today.  6 months old, 2000 miles. At the end of a 10 minute drive the fan stayed on for at least 5 minutes and there was an "enginey" smell. The salesman assured me the fan staying on was normal and the smell was due to the way the engine had been cleaned.
• Peugeot 205 diesel hatch - N/S front wheel no drive 8 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, I have lost drive on the n/s front wheel discovered after jacking up the front end. Guess this is a drive shaft issue but is this an easy remedy with replacing or not cost effective? How difficult is this to replace DIY or garage.
