• 318i MOT Failure 27 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  I just got my MOT done today and failed on a few things, this is what was said in the report: 1) O/S fault, anti-roll bar link bush split 2) Front pad low 3) N/S front to rear metal pipe coroded, and 4) Front registration plate cracked. Answers? 1) Quoted £14 for this but how much to fit? 2) Change of front pads, this shouldn't be a problem to fix myself should it?
• HJ's Advice on Multitronic 16 Feb 2004 (Forum)

• Mitsubishi carisma 5 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  just one question, i have had mitsubishi\'s before and have had engine smoke problems at 90k - is this engine at 113k at the end of its life or would it be capable of another 50k? i understand that every car differs due to how its been driven and maintained, but in general - what mileage is left for such a car?
• a car for all seasons 21 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  second hand - which will need to be a very useful for a self employed gardener (not much landscaping, mostly lighter stuff), comfortable enough to travel long distances in, be able to cope with some of my off-road (farmer?s fields) camping excursions and be reasonably economical. It?s a bit like finding a plant that will flower all year and grow anywhere without any trouble? Does anyone have some suggestions please? I am considering a Subaru Forester, Volvo V70, Maybe a Honda HVR (is it?).
• Just driven over a fence post at speed.. 16 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  When I reached a stretch of really smooth tarmac and going at 70kph I can feel a \"roughness\" through the steering wheel, in tune with the wheel rotations. I\'ve checked the wheel at work and there\'s no visible damage to the tyre or the outside of the alloy, which still has its outer balance weight on. I can\'t check to see if there\'s supposed to be an inner balance weight, and if its there or not.
• Our new world: total car surveillance 10 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  The current road tax system may be scrapped as a sweetener. Civil liberties will of course be a culled in order to service Darling\'s vision for a better Britain. So, what do Back Roomers think? http://www.observer.co.uk/politics/story/0,6903,973035,00.html

• High Mileage 28 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  It\'s an interesting concept though, being so upfront about the high miles - I guess they must be going for people who know how to look for a good car, rather than those who simply want one in a pretty colour.
