• Skoda Fabia Estate - Please Help - Clarification on CAT-S Car 7 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    Please find the attached images - https://ibb.co/Hry6dDv https://ibb.co/rxQS4Sb https://ibb.co/52XxG1m I am trying to purchase a CAT-S car. Few clarifications, Please kindly provide your inputs - 1. How come a car with a small damage was categorised as CAT-S ? 2. This damage to the front of the car - could this damage would have resulted in internal structure like welding items near the engine area ?
• Any - Stop-Start – is it “intelligent”? 7 Oct 2018 (Forum)
  However, today I made a short urban journey and noticed that the Stop-Start activated whenever I was stopped in traffic, even though the engine could have scarcely warmed up. Do Toyota engineers not realise that the S/S needs to be programmed not to activate until the engine is red-hot as HJ’s advice would seem to suggest, or does the action of the S/S indicate that the DPF is not regenerating at the time?
• Ford Fiesta Zetec S Diesel - Quick Review 29 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  I've just posted a quick review of my early impressions of my new Fiesta Zetec S TDCI if anyone is interested - a little gem so far and could be one of the best all round cars I've owned.  (famous last words lol, will prob conk out on the way home tonight now I've jinxed it) Someting of a contrast with a 1.1 D reg example I had in the late 80's in a ghastly maroon and which had the most alarming understeer I've ever encountered.
• Spanners aquired from the road surface - and you 24 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  (Road spanners, revisited) I have several open ended and ring spanners found in this way. It started in the late 60`s - you know how it is, that glint of silver, seen in the gutter or crown of the road. One of them is top quality with four small notches carefully ground into it as an identifier. Still see them sometimes, but modern traffic means it`s trickier to get them and then there`s image to consider - a scraggy lizard like old bloke scrabbling in the centre of the road for another 10mm spanner.
• Best old diesel auto 4 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Id prefer a saloon but an estate will do. I also dont want a shed, so its likely that whatever I buy is going to be 80's or even late 70's possibly rather than a worn out 90's model plus I prefer the simplicity of earlier cars. I have a few ideas in mind but wondering what the BR would suggest? My starting point is the Merc 250 D, late 80's.
• Bad service from Citroen 4 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  Told I\'d hear this morning. 1pm today rang them again. They can\'t receive France\'s email which has been routed to Citroen\'s Head Office in Slough, because Crawley\'s email is down so they\'re waiting for I.T. to sort it. HAVE THEY NOT HEARD OF PICKING UP THE TELEPHONE AND TALKING TO EACH OTHER????

• Young driver- help with first insurance,first car 17 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  m currently looking for 1.0 Micra, 1.0 Corsa B, Punto 55/60, Fiesta 1.25, Ka 2 1.3. Any other suggestions? Not many Micra?s for sale around here, the Corsa?s I?ve looked at have all been rough, and the Fiesta?s all seem to have the rattly 1.3 engine, Ka?s (same engine I know) all too expensive. Thanks Jacks
• Cutting out when idling - Merc C240 12 May 2004 (Forum)
  I do about 58 miles a day, back-and-to to work, virtually all on dual carriageway (50-70mph). It\'s developed a habit of cutting out unexpectedly. While this rarely happens (only three or four times in the last 3K miles), it\'s irritating. It has only ever happened when I\'m in a queue, and when the engine\'s about three quarters warmed up.
• MINI Cooper S - Sticker removal.... 17 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  What would you guys say is the best way to get a "sticker" off the back bumper of a Cooper S  ??  I definately would call it a sticker rather than a decal. Its a rectangular union flag not that it matters as such. Its literally only about 3 inches by 2 so not big.....I kinda thought it would come off quite easily but by first attempt at the corner it appears it may not be so simple Obviously dont want to actually damage the bumper "paint" as such  ??

• Ford S-MAX - 2.0 TDCi noisy engine 18 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  I have a 2009 S-Max 2.0 TDCi that I purchased 3 weeks ago through Ford Direct. After a week of ownership, the noisy became much noiser sounding like something was blowing in the engine. The car went into my local Ford dealer this week where they found that an intercooler pipe had become disconnected.
• Pathe News - Earls Court Motor Shows (1960's) 6 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Just found some fantastic footage of London Motor Shows from the 1960's. Oh, those clipped tones, the great smell of Brut, the hot pants..........oh and there are old cars too! Utterly brilliant ....memories. I have driven one or two of the cars on show and remember my Dad having some too.
• Vauxhall Zafira A (1999 - 2005) - 2001 2.0 Access to wiring inside o/s rear door pil 1 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Can anybody give me an idea on how to remove the blue cap through which the wiring loom runs through on the rear o/s passenger door of a Zafira? I have an issue with the locking and I believe it could be something to do with the wiring running through the door, but I am unable to remove this cap. Thanks Andy.
