• FIAT Bravo - Car pulling to the right 30 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  Hi. My car is pulling to the one side when I brake over 50 MPH. It s like the front end nose heads to the right. I have since stopped driving the car and trying to find the problem. I jacked up both wheels and the wheels seem to move freely and can't see anything out of the ordinary.
• Skoda Octavia II - Pot holes and speed bumps 21 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  In particular the bump by Furniture Village in Southampton West Quay :-) Or any other makes to consider of that ilk. Budget of up to 8K , used mainly for lugging kids around, camping trips so S of France and several 600 mile round trips to Yorkshire. Parking quite tight in our street so nothing too long, and cheap to fix when someone karate kicks the wing mirror off. Thanks

• a small 4x4 7 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  They all live up a narrow country lane so there will be other times when something a little higher up and rugged would be useful. I would reccommend him a Fiat Panda but are there any other small 4x4's around which are equally as good and cheap to tax, insure and maintain?

• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 02 2.0 Wrong front coil spring? 11 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Shudder abates when you ease off the gas. Just noticed that the previous owner fitted a new coil spring at the front o/s. How can I check that its the correct type? And could it cause a shudder under load? I noticed that when I had a 15-stone passenger in the front passenger seat the other day the shudder was virtually gone.
• Mazda - Short Term Insurance for Imported Mazda 5 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  I'm 22 years old and i'm using the vehicle short term between selling my private car and getting a company car, but most sites appear to be for over 25's only. Does anyone have any idea whether it'd be best to take out a 1 year policy and cancel early, or is there a site that you know of where I can get insurance for approx. 2 months? Thanks in advance!

• Journalism standards 24 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  What with all the emphasis placed on performance, alloys & low profile tyres and ruler flat cornering but now I read this on a motoring mags website - 'Meet the C6 Pallas ? a one-off edition of the firm?s distinctive flagship, which revives a name last used on luxury versions of the legendary Sixties? DS.' Now I acknowledge that I'm a Citroen fan and should know such things aren't correct but surely so should someone writing for a motoring mag or his editor come to that.

  t mind using a general purpose one under the car using the pressure washer and a better product on the bodywork, applied by hand. It?s a new car that hasn?t been washed yet so I want to use good practices from the start. Should I get a coat of wax on as soon as possible?

  What problems are likely to occur if the seat sensor and (side) airbag connectors are disconnected? I assume it would be wise to disarm the the front n/s airbag if this is possible. Will the Airbag control module try to disarm the whole system? pmh
