• Toyota Avensis (2003 - 2008) - Dishonest seller 9 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I recently bought a Toyota Avensis from Toyota dealer, 2 hours drive from home a 58 registration. Within 10 days, I realised some noise on braking, though it has done only 8200 miles on the clock (I did 500 miles). Took to local toyota dealer who changed both rear brake discs saying very damaged (though changed under warranty). I should say, the dealer and sales person were very arrogant and rude, but as we liked the car and we wanted Automatic... we bought it.
• Audi drivers one inch from your rear bumper 25 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Just driven 300 miles and constantly had one audi after another driving one inch behind me, and no I was not driving too slow, mostly I had a long line of cars in front of myself plus some sensible braking distance, whether I was doing 5 mph or aherm 100 mph there they were an inch behind I let countless of them past since they were being so aggresive, but gave up in the end Really when I get a terminal illness and nothing really matters anymore I'm going to slam the brakes on for one of these people and shoot the pants off him How did the take all the Hobs out of Hobnobs and leave the other stuff as audi drivers The BMW's/Mercs/Volvos are still as bad as usual but what are they doing to Audis to turn anyone who drives one into an instant idiot?
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2001 1.8 TDCI stalling and locking up 1 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Just got my car back from another hefty service and MOT (new front brake pads etc), and also had the Instrument Panel replaced as it was one of the faulty ones that are replaced for £99 under the 'watchdog' scheme. When driving home, I was doing about 30 miles an hour and went to change gear and the car stalled and also stopped VERY suddenly (even though this model has no ABS).
• Friend has had a nasty crash - need some advice 21 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  My friend has just had a crash she lost control in a national speed limit zone and rolled the car. The tyres and brakes were brand new (fitted last week) could this be a connection? She went against my advice and put the new tyres on the front. She is ok just suffering from delayed shock, the car has a cracked windscreen not sure what else, the airbags did not deply.
