• High mileage Tesla Model S 15 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  v=wOFfKQ7SxEg"> Came upon this interesting clip from Fully Charged with Robert Llewellyn chatting to the (Australian) owner of a 2018 Tesla Model S which has done over 700,000km!.  No, it isn't on its original battery, but the reason for the replacement wasn't because the original had degraded beyond being viable. 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.
• Citroen Xantia (1993 - 2000) - 96 1.9 Hydraulic leak from r/o/s pipe to caliper 28 May 2009 (Forum)
  I have found that the green hydraulic fluid is oozing from a small pin hole just before the union the goes into the rear O/s caliper, will this fluid only come out when the brakes are applied or will it flow when the system starts up and pumps up the presseure??
• Tesla S - Would you buy this car? 27 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Anyone seen the new four door Tesla S: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/03/27/tesla_unveils_model_s/ Looks pretty good to me apart from the 17" touch screen in the dashboard. Don't think I could afford one though! If this car really could have a range of 300 miles on a charge then at some time in the future, we could all be driving proper electric cars.
• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - (2006-) 2.5 turbo - Wipers configured for LHD 1 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  My S-Max (2.5 turbo petrol titanium) wipers seem to be on the wrong way round, configured for left hand drive. The longer one is on the passenger side and sprays water onto the drivers side windscreen on return to its resting position.
• Sincerest form of flattery? 21 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  The front of the S is quite dull IMHO. Looks like its due a facelift already. -- let me be the last to let you down....

• Increased consumption 4 May 2003 (Forum)
  Over the past 3 months or so my car\'s fuel consumption has increased markedly. Average consumption used to be in the high fifties. Now it\'s about 50 mpg. The car is a Peugeot diesel (mileage 204,000) I can\'t detect a leak & my driving pattern hasn\'t altered.

• Can an S-Class be serviced on a budget? 25 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  My first posting so please be gentle! ;) I\'ve (finally) bought a Mercedes S280 1997 4-speed with 95K and FMBSH to 88K. It\'s had a major \"mechanical\" service a few thousand miles early and it\'s due a \"short service\" in about another 2k. I\'ve always pondered about this but I intend to run the S280 on a budget, which means not taking the car to a Mercedes dealership for a start ... having tried to buy an S-Class from MErcedes Dealerships THREE times and failed!

• Vauxhall Zafira Tourer - DPF on Zafira tourer and S-Max 17 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Hi all, I currently have a 2007 Mazda 5 2.0 diesel which I am planning on replacing with either a Zafira tourer or Ford S-Max. One thing I have never liked about my Mazda is the fact that it dumps un-burnt fuel from failed DPF regens into the oil sump.  Does anyone know if the Zafira tourer and S-Max also do the same?
• Why does insurance vary so much ? 24 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  It just about time to renew SWBO?s insurance, so the various comparison websites have been brought into action. We were expecting the premium to go up since during this year I have inadvertently managed to gain 3 SP30?s this year, ( Grrrrr?..
• Jag S-Type D's??? 30 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  A question to those in the know, firstly, has anyone seen the new V6 diesel Jag S-type's with manuals (so that's basic or S spec) in things like the Top Car auctions? If so, what kind of price are they fetching at a year old? Mum's getting restless with the 140000 mile Celica, and we both think the Jag would make a decent replacement (she's think's its classy, fast AND practical)...but she doesn't want to spend anymore than £21k...dealers all seem to have them at £25k+, which I found surprising, considering Jag's usually suffer quite vicious depreciation in their first year?
