• UK pea on China`s drum - Car Manufacture 7 May 2010 (Forum)
  That was my impression on meeting business minded relatives on a recent visit. Perhaps we had it coming, with our old Empire and it`s arrogant feather hatted minions, forcing people in their own country  to bow to the `superiority` of an imported genteel England into Shanghai. Or was it demanding black pudding and jellied eals instead of accepting and savoring local cuisine?.
• Simple late 90's small car engines - advice needed 13 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  I believe the FIAT FIRE engines are very good but ewith my budget £700-£1000 the car is likely to be well tatty by now. I love the 1.25 Ford Zetec S but I am right in the fact these need careful servicing? Something which will be hard to find on the used market. Then there i s the VAG engines, seem to be a bit ove rated from the cars I have seen so far.

• Mercedes C200 2003 - Misfire problems 18 Aug 2007 (Forum)

• how to get a refund due to dodgy car 3 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  A little over 7 days since I got my 2002 S80. Handling seems a bit soggy, and ride crashes a fair bit, but figured it?s done 80k, that?s the way it drives. Anyway, took it down some country lanes in Essex to office today and had to slow right down. Car nearly lost grip on back end at 35mph round a bend. Furthermore, driving at JUST 40mph down country lanes leads to a feeling of the front bobbing up and down, and you do not feel that the car is planted to the road at all.
