• peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 Unleaded ?? 5 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  I have been offered a pug 1.9 205 gti thay is a non cat version, that the current owner uses with high octane petrol. From various pug websites it seems that only the later 1.9's fitted with catalytic converters will run on 95 ron unleaded petrol (and have a lower BHP), where the one'a prior

  Hi all A couple of weeks ago i noticed a loud grinding/grating/quick knocking noise coming from my front n/s on my 2L 306 xsi 1994. The noise is only noticable when accelerating from standstill or in 2nd gear and pulling away sharpish. There's no other noises when on full lock, turning corners

• More auction prices 4 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Went to BCA Tewksbury today. Many bargains going through. Thought that a P reg Alfa GTV in black, for £4650 looked good (if you're not of nervous disposition) to £15 for a renault 15 with MOT till Nov 04. As always, small cars were strong. Up to 3 grand for S and T reg 3dr Clios. Considering I paid

• In case anybody failed to notice.... 25 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  It\'s Christmas day. Therefore I expect best behaviour ;o) Anyone that feels this is an opportunity to take the proverbial can expect to have their account disabled. No warnings, no deletions, no \"please see the small print\". You know the rules by now. I don\'t expect to have to wave

• Injection pump settings - citroen bx 3 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I recently had a replacement engine fitted in my 1991 BX TGD. The engine was a 162 - a somewhat earlier type to the DB8/6 fitted originally. It came with a CAV injector pump and its existing injectors but ran very badly. The garage replaced it and the injectors with my original engine\'s Bosch
• Change car or not? 21 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  I've presently got a 98 s Xantia diesel with almost 110k. I need the car for regular 150 mile round trips to work. It could do with new spheres fairly soon and possibly a cambelt- I know the scheduled interval is 72k but I've read that the 2nd change should be sooner at around 36k to replace

• That Leon with its bonnet up... 26 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  and ferried me to and from the station to get to work etc.. Really good service. So if your 20Vt engine fails in this manner, make sure that your SEAT garage replaces all 4 coils so you don't suffer multiple inconvenience. They will do it. Same should apply to A3's, Golf's, Passats, Toledos, Bora's, Superb's
• Unchanged cars 31 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  , it made me think, what is the earliest Swift registration with the same shape - I am sure I have seen P regs? Also, what is the longest a current car in production has gone without a change? Peugeot 206 goes back to S reg, any thoughts?? Incidentally, I thought the older Swifts looked nicer than

  To start the ball rolling, In the 80\'s we had a Volvo 244DL auto. My mother was driving down to the westcountry and we noticed this loud rasping noise that seemed to follow the speed of the engine. My mother was very concerned and pulled into the next garage she came upon and asked the mechanic

• Cars on TV 9 May 2003 (Forum)
  Just been watching one of the numerous house programmes on TV(Channel 4's Selling Houses) and noticed the camera lingering for rather a long time on the Peugeot 607 driven by the presenter. If you watch Location, Location, Location you'll see them do the same with a Volvo XC90. Not really
