  I am now running the car on Vredestein Ultra ceuto 215/55/ZR 16 97Y. The tyres are rated at 67 for noise but over rough tarmac the noise is terrible. Over smooth its very queit. Is there a better tyre or wheel and tyre configeration that would eliminate that noise.?
• Ford Focus C Max - Scraping noise when braking 21 May 2016 (Forum)
  It also sounds like a monster belching (only way to describe it).  Apart from that it runs fine.  Thank you, any advice is appreciated.
• Dacia Sandero - Dacia Sandero 24 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  Is this a good car for weekly runs round the city, plus a few long distance (5 hour) trips a year?  Is it fairly easy to drive for a newly qualified (but middle-aged) driver? Do you think 4000 is a good price for one from 2012, with very low mileage?
• The Lambi of the Lake 8 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/12084426/Lamborghini-Huracan-plunges-into-Northamptonshire-just-week-after-owner-buys-it.html Does a Huracan in a hurry have a tendency to fly?  Christmas day was windy (I was on the M1 and it was blustery).  The A45 there runs into the teeth of a sou'westerly. Does a gust or a dip make them flip?  All those babyboomber millionaire pension pots need to be told.  HJ - please investigate!

• Peugeot Boxer Horse Box - Tyure Life 18 May 2015 (Forum)
  Hi, Our 7 year old Equitrek horse box on a Peugeot Boxer chassis has about 15000 on the clock and is kept outside. It is running on the orginal Firestone tyres dated 2008 that have plenty of tread but I'm concerned about age deterioration in the rubber. Would you please advise whether the tyres need replacing and if so when?
• Perhaps time to get rid of the diesel............. 5 May 2015 (Forum)
  .....................before we are forced to. I doubt the numpty politicians etc will take into account the fact some diesels run on recycled veggie oil. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/diesel-cars-could-be-banished-as-britain-ordered-to-cut-air-pollution/ar-BBiU8yJ?ocid=bb7hp I wonder if people will be given fair market value?

• Audi Quattro - Audi Quattro radio advert 29 Sep 2014 (Forum)
  There's an ad on LBC (and presumably other radio stations) with what sounds like a Rally navigator but turns out to be school run Mum dropping the brat off. The pace notes tell you to "mind the leaves" and "watch for puddle" - why? Can't the Audi's "legendary" 4WD system cope with a puddle and a few leaves? What an own goal!
• Suzuki Alto 2014 manual - New car - poor fuel economy 7 Mar 2014 (Forum)
  Hi I'm running in a new Alto as per the owner's manual. I've used 1 & 2/3rds of a 35 litre tank and travelled 440 miles, which seems very poor. Is it usual to have poor fuel economy for the first couple of thousand miles while the engine beds in?

• Mercedes SLK200 - Convert to LPG 15 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  I'm thinking of buying a Mercedes sLK200 (2004 to 2006) and getting it converted to LPG to make the running costs more reasonable. I'm planning to keep the car approx 8 yrs and will do 12k per year. Will converting it have a negative effect on lifespan of engine? Not too worried about whether it goes as fast but do still want it to last a long time.
• ford mondeo 2.0 tdci - deisel engine smoking 28 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  The engine also seems as if it is 'hunting' on acceleration. Any clues of likely problems? Starts fine. runs generally fine. Have tried an addition of Redex, but this has not improved the problem. A new exhaust was fitted recently.

  Surely when your foot is off the throttle and you are coasting, no modern car is injecting fuel on the over-run?
