  Hi all Found this petition on the ABD website http:/petitions.pm.gov.uk/notolls Thought you might find it interesting. Wonder if it will be as successful as the road pricing one -- Alyn Beattie I\'m sane, it\'s the rest of the world that\'s mad.

  Hi Everyone this is my first post. I have decided to sell my 25k miles 1997 S Type privately because the price I am being offered in part exchange sucks.Has anyone used  Auto Trader "Quick Sale" or anything similar?  It looks like a good way to get a fair mid market price.I know I might get a better price if I advertise it in the for sale pages but I don`t  want to spend lots of time and effort with tyre kickers.

• Mazda Mazda 3 (2004 - 2009) - Mazda3 vs Focus 2 S/H ... 11 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  OK, quick question - looking at a 3-4 year old Focus 2 1.6 diesel. The same engine is in the Mazda3, and the cars are a similar price s/h. So, is the Mazda more reliable than the Focus? If you do a search for problems in the Backroom for Focus, and 3, you get far more Focus ones! Of course that may be because more Focus' are sold, but still...
• Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - Gearbox-what can it do? 6 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Snow here tonight in North Devon and a colleague has a 55 plate 'S' type diesel Auto' Traction useless in these conditions. Now I have guessed (and a small wager) that the gearbox has some sort of tiptronic/manual function up the left hand side of the gate thereby allowing him to select a higher ratio from rest and giving more traction and/or being able to change up ealrier having the same effect.
• Find the evidence for a possibly botched job? pic 26 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I`m presenting the pic of the 1.9D again for a new test of detective work by the technically interested. It seems (not 100% sure)a bodge to me and there`s evidence of it if you click and expand the photo up to full size. It`s not the EGR blanking plate - it`s visible not hidden. I was going to present this as a straight technical debate on the issue but thought if it gives a little interest, why not do this first?

  Off to look at a private 2003 Mondeo tdci zetec s estate, 48k miles, silver, £3,500. The guys retired and had the car for 2.5 years, don't yet know how many previous owners. I've read much of the stuff in here about reliability etc, and I need to (somehow!)
• Peugeot 205 (1983 - 1997) - 93 1769 N/S Inner Driveshaft Boot 15 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Peugeot Diesel 1769 non Turbo. Looking at my split N/S Inner Driveshaft Boot it seems like a straight shaft removal and slip the boot over the Inner joint from the inboard end using the Draper expansion funnel. However the Haynes manual reckons to unpeen the joint cover etc.
• BMW 3-Series E92 Coupe (2006 - ) - Replacement "normal" tyre pressures. 7 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  Incidentally, I know H.J. is an advocate of RFT`s, but the improvement to the ride, steering control and reduction in road noise has totally transformed the car for the better. There is no question that in cold weather, RFT`s are positively dangerous with serious tramlining and bone shaking ride.
• Horn location on 98 S-Class 8 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Hi I am trying to find the location of the horn on a 1998 S-Class. I suppose I should get in quick and say that I am trying to find it to fix it, before somebody suggests listening to where the noise comes from :o) !! I have taken the plastic engine bay surrounds off both wings and had a good look in and around the front grill with no luck.

• BMW 330CI Sport or X-Type 3.0 Sport 8 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  Hi there, I\'m new to this site and have a question. I now want to buy either one of the above. I\'m particularly keen on the BM as it\'s rear wheel drive, coupe body, holds it\'s value well and is a real driver\'s car. The Jag is not as pretty, has too much Mondeo in it but is much cheaper. I\'m looking at buying a 2002 model with a manual gearbox.
• Zetec-s hesitancy AND cambelt service 3 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Hi Two questions for y'all... 1. I have recently purchased a Fiesta 1.25 Zetec-s and am very impressed, apart from a slight hesitancy that feels as if the engine is "missing" when under load around 4000rpm. Any suggestions to what this may be? 2. The car has a FSH and has currently 61k on the clock, but I would like to know the cambelt service interval - any ideas?
