• 1993TD toledo heavy clutch and g/box 6 May 2006 (Forum)
  i purchased this as a e-bay headgasket gone job but it was the oilcooler, the only prob with it is the clutch is v-heavy and the change from 3rd to 4th is a bit odd,i find it easier to double declutch and also going from 2nd down into 1st it`s some times reluctant. myfirst thoughts are that i may need to rebush the g/change and can i adjust the clutch or is it automatic?? cheers Ray
• standing still 17 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I've been watching a BMW 528 for nearly a year now on a local forecourt, it's that lovely light green, S reg and in good nick but no-one's buying. It started at 6295 and is now down to 4995 but the important thing is it never moves. Does there come a point where a car is so used to doing nothing that all the parts stop working?
• European Petrol Prices 12 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I have to drive 1000 miles across Europe tomorrow to catch a ferry to Hull. Just wondering where?s cheapest to fill up. I?ll tank up before I leave Poland and enter Germany, but should I fill up in Germany before I enter Holland? And should I fill up in Holland before I board the ferry to the UK.
• Option packages 1 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Does anyone know if it is possible to have these packs retro-fitted at a dealer. My GOlf is only an 'S' and therfore only includes windows and wheels as standard and i would quite like some of these little luxuries, and for £300 seems quite affordable. TIA
• I Have A Question Volume 117 26 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  There was a feature in last weeks press regarding poorly designed patio/French door locks, that thieves have found a means of quickly breaking in and making them totally ineffective. I wondered if any B.R`s read this article and would know where I could get further information as to which companies would have installed these locks, which I believe were of German/Danish origin.????
• Quiet, Grippy Tyres - Reccomendations? 13 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I am about to replace the 2 x front tyres on my S60. The Pirelli P6000's have been OK but I wonder if it is worth trying something different if people can recommend a quiet, safe alternative. Size is 205/55 R16 W rated. Grip takes precedence over life as I would prefer to stay on the road better rather than replace the tyres at a later interval.
• Rover 400 starting problem 31 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Oh Help! My S reg rover has developed a nasty juddery rattling reluctance to start. I looked under bonnet this morning to find the water level a bit low NOT DRY (please say it's not a gasket) ....of course my garage only doing MOTs today.
• Replacement Tyre Advice for Ford Focus 24 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I'm happy with the tyres, they appear to give a good compromise of grip and tyre wear, however they must be the noisiest tyres I've ever had on a car! So, I'm happy to have P6000's refitted, but thought I'd ask if anyone on here has any other suggestions? Cheers! James

• Volvo S80 suspension noises 15 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  I have a 1999V S80 which occasionally makes rather ominous clonking noises from the N/S suspension when going over irregular road surfaces or over undulations on a smooth road surface. Sometimes it sounds like the front suspension; sometimes the rear. The ball joint was replaced in a recall; both steering stops have been replaced as well as both anti-roll bar links.

• Gearbox oil leak Fiesta MK3 31 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  It's definately gearbox oil leaking and not engine oil and it seems to have lightly covered the nearside components with oil ie n/s driveshaft and wishbone. Any ideas of what this is likely to be? Many Thanks Steveo

  Recently i bought an S reg (1998) Peugeot 306 (1.6 petrol engine Meridian Model.) The 1st week it drove without problems, but now it refuses to start. I have looked at the fuel pump which is fine and checked the fuses again these are ok, the car turns over when i turn the key so the battery is fine aswell.
• Omega parking bulb replacement 29 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  O/s front parking bulb has blown. The car has HID lights and in the book it says remove the rubber cap and pull out the bulb to replace. Sounds easy, but space is somewhat confined. However I can reach the back of the bulb but it will not come out.
• Why did you choose? 3 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Why did you choose the vehicle(s) that you currently own/drive? Was it the seductive velour material? Was it the 0-60 time? The top speed? Comfort? Economy? Price? Running costs? Some other reason? Having chosen, are you pleased with it?
