• Toyota Yaris - Toyota Coolant - Which one? 5 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  The service sheet says that there are two types of coolant, Long Life Coolant (LLC) - changed every 3 years or 40000 miles (whichever is sooner), thereafter every 2 years or 20000 miles Super Long Life Coolant (S-LLC) - every 10 years or 100000 miles (whichever is sooner) The car has done 36000 miles. If the coolant is S-LLC then obviously I don't have to worry, but can these 2 coolants be recognised visually by colour?

• Salt and the road surface reservoir 30 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  You just think it`s all gone - but you notice that ever so slight - lighter colour of the Motorway road surface. A trick of the light, perhaps? Days and sometimes two or three weeks pass - birds lay eggs and there is the dawn chorus of Spring.

• Frankfurt - Limoges, route advice? 18 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Hello all, first post for a while. Here´s a good one for any of you into cross-European routes and routing. We´re heading out from Frankfurt across France to Argenton-sur-Creuse, just north of Limoges. I´m keen to stay on the German autobahn network as it´s free, and to avoid Paris which is where the TomTom seems to try to send me past.
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 98 1.9 TD Wandering to left 8 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  My 306 has a tendency to slowly wander to left when I take my hands off the wheel. It's not violent but means I have to keep some pressure on wheel to stop it. It's had a new O/S ball joint and a new O/S droplink. It also klunks a bit when turning at low speeds - parking etc. Any ideas what this could be and how to correct it? One more thing - I think I have a glow plug out as it's a bit lumpy when started from cold and after a bit of revs it's fine.
