• New Top Gear presenters announced 25 Oct 2018 (Forum)
  Love them or loathe them, Clarkson, the Hamster and Captain Slow couldn't, for me, be beaten...and no doubt would still be running had Clarkson not been such a muppet. I doubt that I shall now even think about watching Top Gear.
• Octavia / Superb - 1.4TSi / 2.0TDi 25 Sep 2018 (Forum)
    Maybe the 2.0TDi is the way to go - especially if I can stretch to a VRS... My mileage is around 10k but with good motorway runs, so a DPF shouldn't be an issue.

• Kia with a nervous twitch 26 May 2018 (Forum)
  On my way to work this morning i passed a current shape Kia Cee'd going the other way and it's n/s daytime running light was flashing rapidly, not actually going on and off, but dull and bright. Made me think it had a nervous twitch, in fact the first thing that popped into my head was (the great) Herbert Lom in the Pink Panther films!.
• Ford Mondeo - Vandals 8 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  At one side of the garage was a 2013 Ford Mondeo, with every window stoved in bar one, which was the backmost small passenger one. It turns out to be a taxi drivers motor & his main bread & butter jobs were the school runs. So the lowlife in the area has taken away his livelyhood for at least 8 weeks or so. The fitter said it had been stood there for 10 days drying out.  b*********s!

• Ford Focus 2004 - Aircon not cooling car 15 Jun 2017 (Forum)
   The mechanic regassed and checked for leaks and said there were none. Today's temperature was in the mid seventies/ 25 centigrade.  I had the Aircon running for 30 minutes but it didn't cool the car down.  Usually when the Aircon is working well I have to turn it off after a few minutes as it gets a bit chilly. Any thoughts please?    
• BMW Mini one 2009 - Washer bottle 11 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  My daughter's washers have packed up, you can hear the pump working just no water out of the jets front or back screens. Running the garden hose into the bottle filler pipe crud starts to flush itself so my question is rather than stripping out to get to the bottle itself ( I'm thinking wheel off, inner lining out ect ) is there a cleaning agent I can use to descale the inside the bottle and flush through the pipes/ Geoff

• Suzuki Swift - Suzuki Swift 7 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  The dealer is also a Suzuki dealer and I quite like the latest shape Swift as it looks funkier and drives better than the Micra, with similar running costs and five doors. Anyone rekon it would be worth moving across to Suzuki as I know plenty of people who enjoy driving them and they seem reliable enough?
• Audi A3 TDI 170 - Poor Starting 1 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  I have one of these that has intermittant poor starting. It will fire then stop when the key is released. On the second go it will fire then run rough for a few seconds. For the rest of the day the car will be fine. At other times it is o.k.. The car has been back to the dealers for many weeks and has loads of work done. Without going into too much detail about what has been done, has anybody had similar problems?
