• Impact of sunroof and alloy wheels on CO2 2 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  I was just reading the HJ road test of the i10, and the following caught my eye: "It?s a shame the sunroof and alloys pull the Style model over the CO2 limit, but hardly surprising that the proper 4-speed torque converter automatic does." http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road_tests/index.htm?

• Tales of modern motoring 15 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Just hauled a series linked program out of the PVR. The joys of modern motoring, from A-B. All about reps in the 80's and 90s and the company car scene.

  I have seen a new road marking, at least new to me. An S-bend on a single carriageway A road has just aquired a continuous red line down the centre, stretching a distance of about 200 yards. The line is about a foot wide. What does it mean? Does being continuous mean one mustn't cross it?

• Dent removal - can you recommend... 4 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  (I could do a Yellow pages routine but I'd rather have a recommendation.) It's for a small ding in the bonnet of my Cooper S - met with a large stone thrown up from the opposite carriageway of the M1. When I've got the dent sorted I'll be asking about who can do the paint touch-up job. :-)
• Planning an escape from 2+ litre petrol VED? 31 Mar 2008 (Forum)

  The handbook for my wife?s 1996 Fabia 1.2 petrol recommends that to maintain the air conditioning it should be used once a week for 5 minutes on AC with the fan speed on the highest setting. Does it make any difference if it is set on hot or cold for this purpose?.
• Cooking oil, common rail, lack of awareness? 13 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  Just been looking at another forum and (sigh) yet *again* a young lad with a new common rail Grande Punto thinking of running it on cooking oil. You try to post advice but its ignored, such is the focus on doing it. why? Do you think there`s just just *no awareness* and the fuel injection system and pumps can only be visualised as a plastic squeeze bottle? Regards
• Mazda 6 - what's the BR opinion/experiences? 5 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I was wondering what the BR's experiences of the Mazda 6 are, as I have read on a couple of reviews (online) that there has been some issues with the model, and wondered if these were just one-offs, as the car seems to perform well in JD power and Top Gear surveys...I would be considering a model out of warranty which is the reason for my concerns... s
