• Peugeot remote keys 16 May 2001 (Forum)
  I have an S-reg Peugeuot 306 and have had regular problems with the remote keys. Sometimes the batteries last a few months, sometimes a few days. The problem appears to be that after the buttons on the key fob are pressed and then released, the contact with the battery is not properly broken
• old cheap + fast... 19 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  I am looking to get rid of my '87 Golf and get something early 90's and cheap. Really looking for something big and fast with lots of toys. At the moment I am considering a '92/'93 Vauxhall Senator 24V as they seem to go for around £1500 in loot. This seems incredibly cheap to me, anyone got any

• Bring back the Motorshow 13 Aug 2020 (Forum)
  Looking through the pages of old car mags I’m finding myself reminiscing over the glamour from the Motor Shows which were common throughout the country in the 80’s and 90’s and the UK national show which died in 2008. My dad bought several cars off stand at the local car show in Ayr, the pinnacle
