• Citroen Berlingo Multispace - Engine Radiator Fan 13 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  I have had this problem for many years. The engine radiator fan runs continuously and someone told me that it is controlled directly from the ECU.

• Tata - Dealers already interested 16 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  I was chatting to the staff at a my local Daihatsu dealer and it was rather obviously hinted that they were waiting for Tata to come to the UK as they saw it as having a bright future and seemed to be suggesting that they would be going after the franchise to run alongside Ford and Daihatsu. Certainly interesting to hear that from them, especially with the prejudice usually aimed at unknown makes in this country.
• Cars not so bad 16 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  It seems that because the number of bus passengers averages only about nine, a car with two occupants is actually a better bet. Of course, the bus will still be running, but it's not the line we usually get from the Greenies. I gather that similar arithmetic applies to trains...

• Massive increase of petrol taxis 28 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  A lot of the taxi companies near me are now running a fleet of petrol Astra Gs, and I have also seen a couple of 1.6 Zetec Focus with taxi plates on too. Now I wonder why this is? Is it because diesel is quite a bit more expensive to buy so the savings are not so great?
