• Ambiguous notices 9 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  In a similar vein to the thread about silly news items, I got to thinking about two signs seen in the past. In the early 70's in London on the Underground: "Dogs must be carried on the Underground" In the mid-late 70's on the counter at the reception desk of Trust-House Fortes hotels: "No smoking rooms available" What either of the above actually meant is known only to God.

• BMC 'A' Series SU carburettor needle 26 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  The carb is from a 1275 and has a DZ needle and (amazingly?) appears to run quite well on the 998, but it can't be optimum. I'm sure some 998's used the 1 1/2 inch SU, but I can't find the needle information anywhere. JS

• 2007 Car of the Year 10 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Shall we 'the real experts' have a vote before then and give a reason why. Citroën C4 Picasso, Fiat Grande Punto, Ford S-Max, Honda Civic, Opel/Vauxhall Corsa, Peugeot 207, Skoda Roomster and Volvo C30. As much as I would like to say Civic I think the S max should win it for combining practicality and driving experience.

• Leaking Seat Leon 10 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  I have just noticed a considerable amount of water that has leaked into the car. It stretches from under the carpet of the front left passenger?s seat to the back seat. The door seals seem ok and the sunroofs not leaking. I can?t find any other place the water?s getting in. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
• The Chinese are coming Big Style !! 17 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  There is a report in today`s Autocar, that one of China`s leading manufacturers Chery is planning to launch a range of quality vehicles, priced at 30% below their Western equivalents, into the European market from 2008.

• Peugeot 306 - Comfort? 4 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Just been looking at 306's ('93 - '01 model). There's SEATS's about at the moment, and I quite like the 306's. So, what are they like? I'm just over 6ft, and I've heard the driving position is a bit dodgy and the pedals are at funny position...can anyone advise?
• Diesel pinking - Land Cruiser 4.2TD 24 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I\'ve got a Land Cruiser with a 4.2TD (direct injection). When you toe it, it sounds like it\'s pinking, and as soon as you back off, it stops. They\'ve had big end problems with these, but I replaced all the shells last year. It\'s possible one of these has gone bad or spun, but before I drop the sump again, has anyone any other ideas?
• Citroen AX steering 7 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  The car is OK but the steering is incredibly heavy. So far all I?ve done is to check the tyre preasures and note that there?s no uneven wear. Do these small light cars without power steering have heavy steering as normal? As far as I know it?s never had an accident. Keep upright Chris
