  • Vauxhall Tigra B CC (2004 - ) - 08 1.8 - lack of spare wheel 27 Apr 2014 (Forum)
    Mrs S has just bought a new Tigra with 17" pentaline alloys. For some reason this car (and Corsas with the same wheel option) comes with no spare wheel or jack - just a can of 'get you home' goo. I can see no logical reason for this - other Tigra and Corsa models with different wheels have either normal or space saver spares.

  • Peugeot 308 - Jump start: Negative terminal is not reachable 11 May 2013 (Forum)
    Hi all, I have two Peugeots, 308 and 307. 307's battery is drained due to forgotten headlight. So I am aiming to run it by jump starting from 308. However, the problem is, the negative terminal of the 308's battery is not reachable. I can reach it by removing the red thing on top of the battery but I guess the car won't start before the jump start if I do so.

  • Ford Focus Estate - Ford Focus Mk1 - Petrol or Diesel? 27 Oct 2012 (Forum)
    I like the fuel economy of the Focus diesels (hj's real mpg suggests 36mpg petrol vs 48mpg diesel) but I'm worried about the horror stories of older diesels failing expensively (the DMF problem). My choice for the Mk1's (and Mk 1.5's) seem to either of 2 diesel engines, the 1.8TDDi and the 1.8 TDCi, or the 1.6 petrol engine. I would appreciate any comments or advise on which is the better to buy. I do about 10,000 miles/year, including long runs from East Anglia to Scotland 4-5 times a year
