• Audi A4 Avant - Falken Tyres 10 Mar 2011 (Forum)
    I've experimented with just about everything out of the 'usual' brands, but I have to say that thes Falken 912's I have just had fitted are superb. Noise and Handling in the dry are as good as any Continental or Goodyear I have seen and much better than Dunlops or Avons.  The wet handling is at least a high average, and they wer about £30 each cheaper than some other more well known brands.

• Peugot 1007 - Larger sized car with sliding driver's door 14 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  I like the idea of the 1007's sliding driver's door but does anyone know of a larger car with one? I'm thinking Mondeo sized. I've found this list on this site of cards with sliding doors, but, except for the 1007, they are all rear doors: Peugeot 1007 Citroen Berlingo/Peugeot Partner Mazda 5 Citroen C8/Pug 807/Fiat Ulysee Kia Sedona  VW Caravelle Mercedes Viano Hyundai i80

• Mazda 6 - Mazda 6 / Ford Mondeo Diesel Engines 8 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    If this is correct I'm assuming the Mazda 2.0 MZR-CD RF diesel engine is the same PSA designed unit as the Ford 2.0 Duratorq TDCi diesel engine (As Ford seem to be a majority owner of Mazda) - is my assumption correct, are they totally different or are there subtle differences between the two? The answer(s) may spawn several more questions. Thanks in advance, Chris

• Council turned down claim for broken spring. 18 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Driving over a "defect" in a local road I broke the o/s front roadspring on my Smart Roadster-Coupe. I made a claim which the council have now declined to pay. The reason for their refusal is that they inspected the road within a month before the incident and their inspection concluded that the "defect" that broke my spring was not sufficient to cause damage to vehicles.

• Goodwood Revival - Classic Mini Race 23 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Hello all Was at the Goodwood Revival this Sunday, had the great pleasure of watching the 50th anniversary of the Mini celebrated in race form as twenty-somthing mid-sixties Cooper 'S's thrashed it round the track. I am currently locked in a debate about how fast these cars can actually go. All were using the 1293cc engine, my dad swears that they were reaching 120mph down the Lavant Straight.
• Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - Dyno plot for 2.0 140bhp TDCI 24 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  On the Superchips website you can see a dyno plot before and after Bluefin fitting, for the 2.0 140bhp TDCi motor. It's listed under S-Max 2.0TDCi. Don't know how accurate their dyno is, but the "before" figures are: 154bhp at 3500rpm (and 150bhp+ to over 4000rpm) 366Nm (about 260lb-ft) at 2390rpm (with more than 350Nm available from 2100 to 2900rpm).
• Volkswagen Golf V (2004 - 2008) - Best diesel engine 1.9 or 2.0 ? 13 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Folks, my girlfriend is looking to get a new car, well new to her. Ideally a diesel from 2004 on. I was told by a friend to stay away from 2.0 ones and that 1.9's are better. I cant remember his reasoning but there was some common fault with them. I was just wondering if there was any substance to this statement and if there is anything that should be looked out for when viewing cars?

• GM Crash Tests in 1968 - Scary! 19 May 2009 (Forum)
  tinyurl.com/p4hzqe Horrifying standards in car design in the 60's. I am sure we have come a long way since then.

  PricewaterhouseCoopers said it is working on strategies to "salvage value from the business, however the main trading business and the company?s 15,000 vehicle fleet is likely to be wound down over the next five weeks". I guess the auctions are going to be busy
