• Fiat Panda 2007 1.3 multi-jet diesel - Water in Fiat Panda air filter 5 May 2025 (Forum)
    The entrance is protected only by the perforated rad grill so inevitably rain and spray enter.  WORSE.  If the car is parked 'looking uphill', rain water runs down the bonnet and drips into the air intake.  WORSE STILL, there is a raised bar running horizontally across the radiator grill - if the car is parked looking uphill, snow, sleet, hail and ice will collect on and above the bar and on the grill.

• LTI - Buying Used Taxi 8 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  For some reason everybody seems to think I am an expert on taxis! A friend has run a V6 Galaxy for the past 6/7 years. The running costs have always been high but this year there have been some horrendous servicing/repair costs (current mileage 140k). With ever larger ones looming he has decided to give up on it.
