• Jaguar Diesel Estate 6 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  With the release of the diesel X type estate coming in a few months, could this be the car that gives the passat estate and 406 estate a run for its money? 128BHP 50+MPG Very attractive car to look at (IMO) Should VW and peugeot be shaking in there bad quality boots?

• Tyre trouble? 27 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Just noticed that at some point a tyre has being wrongly changed. Means running with 3 165/70R13 and one 175/70R13. Which means one tyres 1cm wider and 0.7cm higher so 1.4cm total higher I guess. What do people reckon on the sensibility of this?
• Friday: Which track? 14 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  Which track represents your driving style. I'm gonna have 'Blaze of Glory' by Bon Jovi. I'm sure Mark'll leave it to run for a 4 or 5 hours until it moves to the silly thread... -- These are my own opinions, and not necessarily those of all Toads.
• lpg vs diesel 17 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  I'm about to change my company car. I currently run a Merc E220 Cdi around 42mpg. Are there any real savings for switching to LPG - I'm thinking of a Volvo S60 and can't for the life of me work out if it's worth it regards dominic
• Name that service station? 4 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Does anyone know which company runs the service station near Oxford on the A34, by the A44 turning? And does anyone know if it has just one main restaurant area? (am trying to arrange a fail-safe meeting point) Thanks very much. Rebecca
• golf rear wiper 29 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  I have a Golf MK.IV 2.0. The rear wiper suddenly stopped this morning. When the wiper stops the motor is still running as you can hear it, the wiper will also carry on moving if you just nudge it. Does anyone know what can cause this and is it an easy fix.
• Shell Optimax 24 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  I have read that it is in the backroom archive pages, but there is no mention of this on the Shell pumps or at the Shell web site. My car seems to run better on Optimax but then stays that way for a tank or two when I fill (from empty!) with 95 ron fuel.
• Bi Fuel Ford Focus 23 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  I own a factory produced bi fuel ford focus. It runs rough at low revs and after gear changes. Is this the engine management computer fighting over the petrol/lpg systems? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks 23/8/02
• The budget 14 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Here goes... 2p on unleaded 3p on diesel VAT up to 19% - which adds yet more your fuel and your purchase / running costs. Road Fund licences up 10%. All "to fund the NHS" which now spends something like 55% of it's revenues on administration.
• Lambda Sensor 7 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  If so, how does it detect it? I thought it detected oxygen, not hydrocarbons. Also, if it packs up, then engine can still run, so how does it tell the ecu to shut down firing?
• Sykes ACR fault code reader 4 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Would anyone having first hand experience of using one of the above, please give me a run down on their use and good or bad points please ? Reply direct if you wish, all relevent replies welcome. Thank you.
• TR6 10 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Got a friend who has a low mileage TR6 (I think about 25k) that has been in his garage for 10-12 years. In order to get it up and running again what is the best course of action to go down - or should some pros come in. Also would it be worth doing up?

  i have seen on ebay.co.uk a 1952 land rover 80 inch, it needs some work but it runs, and the starting price is £500. if you are interested in looking at it, go to the automotive section, then click on classics.
• Vectra 2.2 17 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  EQDSO is driving one at the moment, and it seems that despite the fact that it is supposed to measure outside temperature, the displayed temperature decreases after the aircon has been running for a while. I've had a look about, but I can't find anything.
• Supercharger vs turbo 15 Jan 2002 (Forum)

• Air Con - Another Question 7 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Thank you for all the replies to my previous question. A final thought, if you need to run your air con all the time to keep it working properly and avoid expensive repairs, why do manufactures provide you with the facility to switch it off?
• More High Mileage Questions 20 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  With mega high mileage (125,000+miles), 3-4 year old ex-fleet cars worth very little at auction. What would people pick as the most likely to run for a further 3 years & 50,000 miles without major expense?

• Petrol Additives 2 Feb 2001 (Forum)
  Also, Is it worth using a detergent??? Honest John says about the 420: "T16 2.0 litre engine apt to coke up its valves if run on cheap petrol with inadequate detergent content". Cheers, Chris
