• Ford Mondeo MK2 - Mondeo MK2 can feel knocking through brake pedal 1 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  I am reasonably mechanically minded and have checked this on the net including this site and basically I have eliminated most common causes.. 1) Both drive shafts have been replaced with new ones (the n/s driveshaft had a knackered cv joint) 2) Both bottom arms have been replaced with new (o/s balljoint had slight play) 3) New discs & pads been fitted I have even tried swapping both front hubs from one of my mates who runs a scrappy to eliminate wheel bearing problems and they seem fine.

• Street robbery - pavement people assessment 14 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  I`ve been aware of people surrounding me, in public, for many decades now - the work  just made you like that and the tendency was strengthened  by travelling  in South East Asia. It`s intrusive at first, but then becomes second nature as you scan the pavement in front for familiar faces, and certain characteristics - the awareness of what`s behind you and the right angle turn as an unknown potential threat closes in on you from behind.

• Jaguar car co for sale? 4 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  General Motors is in talks with Renault and Nissan about striking such a venture to help to turn round GM?s operations. Jaguar revenue has plunged in the past two years, despite a boom in global luxury car sales. It is estimated that the company sold 41,000 Jaguars in the first half of 2006, compared with 118,000 in 2004.
• how oily can a flywheel be? Primera 23 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  (and over 1000 miles of \'bedding in\' allowance) Or is that just completely not feasible, and it MUST be the clutch itself that\'s faulty or somehow been fitted incorrectly??
• Stories from a car plant 5 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  My Sister in Law's husband used to be a foreman in a well-known Merseyside car factory in the 1970's. He died some years ago and my sister in law and I were reminiscing the other evening. She told me the following stories. I thought that they might amuse forum members. It was quite usual for a car to be specially made for a manager or supervisor.
• Mondeo auto starting problems 14 Apr 2003 (Forum)

• Typical age group of Honda Owners 26 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  We all remember Victor Meldrew s exasperation when he played the cassette recorded by the Honda mechanics . https://youtu.be/W4icMkZkAeQ?feature=shared But is this stereotype still apparent and is the Honda Jazz considered to be the parting shot before handing back the car keys for the final time ?

  Looking to move my Jaguar S-Type diesel on and get a Lexus 400 hybrid. I’m not really looking for anyone’s opinion on whether they agree or disagree with the concept of hybrids, more from any experience of either an RX400h or later RX450h.
