  Histyrey lesson 25 Jan 2010 (Ask HJ)
  The low profile 195/45 R16s on alloy wheels on my 08 Fiesta 1.4 TDCi seem increasingly inappropriate for our winter snow-covered, year-round speed humped...

  Why are my tyres cracking? 22 Jul 2021 (Ask HJ)
  I purchased a new set of tyres in October 2019 for my Vauxhall Vectra. I've done 1500 careful miles since then, during which I put 45PSI in them (50PSI...
• Audi Q2 - Problem with Audi Dealership 8 May 2024 (Forum)
  Do you think I have cause to complain? The car has only covered 2000 miles between purchase and Mot, although I realise that cracking is not totally dependent on mileage.   Has there been a change to the MOT in regards to listing Advisories on tyres?
• Saving the day 3 Feb 2022 (Forum)
  What other cars saved their parent firms from failure?
• MINI Countryman 2015 - Business Edition - Clutch gone 28 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  Hello, First post on this forum so apologies if this is in the wrong place. I bought the above car around July last year with around 5000 miles on the clock. Since buying the car I have done mostly motorway miles commuting back and fore to work every day. I view myself as a decent driver, and have not had any clutch break before.

  Which small second car should I buy? 18 Feb 2014 (Ask HJ)

• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 07 1.8 Hesitating/Stumbling Zetec TDCI now fixed! 10 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  We bought my wife a Ford Focus some months ago and love the car apart from it's tendancy to stumble and hesitate. This is most noticable when pulling away or when slowing down, dropping into 2nd and then trying to increase speed once more. Car was still under warranty and had covered 30k miles when we bought it.
• Car has vanished into thin air! 29 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  I find it hard to believe the car has been stolen (who would nick a 13 year 405? with a knackered engine?) and I'm worried that there's been some sort of admin error and the car is sitting in a yard racking up a massive storage charge.
• New CAT needed at only 16months old 20 May 2005 (Forum)
  But, I would have thought that a Cat, whatever the make of car, should not fail after only just over a year and 11,000 miles. Car serviced to schedule, only ever use Shell/proper petrol. End result - £350 plus fitting and a real feeling of caveat emptor. Still like the car though.
• Garages - am I being paranoid? 15 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Wife took car into main dealers for scheduled servicing on the Wednesday. On the previous Sunday I went around checking the car, marking the oil filter etc, checking wiper blades front and rear which were all in perfect condition.
• Pre-Registered v. Nearly New 14 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Hello Everyone Fairly soon, I plan to change my 4 year old Vectra CDX DTI. I bought it pre-registered from a car supermarket at £8000 under list and its covered 90,000 fairly trouble free miles. Though I would like a 'premium' car, my budget would only buy a car a few years old, particularly if I want a similar specification (leather, climate etc).
• Best Car - Worst Car 23 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Similar threads have been run in the distant past, but now we have some new members, I thought it may be a good idea to kick this one off. Starting with me Best cars I ever owned: Renault 11 GTL 3 Door 1985MY. Reliable, solid, drove well, covered over 40,000 miles in it 5 years. Citroen 2.0 16v Xantia VSX. Excellent drive, very fast and comfortable. I was sorry to see it go.
• Warranty transfer to new owner - problem 12 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  The dealer now wants 2 hours labour to do the inspection at my cost. When I asked what if anything was found, would it be covered under warranty, the dealer says "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it". I'm not happy about this open ended agreement but want to keep my buyer happy. Car is booked in on Thursday for the check.
• Mondeo TDCI 19 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  This starting situation doesn't improve on each starting attempt since. I take the car to the main ford dealer and tell them the problems. I collect the car at the end of the day being told everything is fixed and the car would still not start, even outside the dealership!! I go back into the service reception and a technician comes out to see for himself that the car doesn't fire up on the trun of the key.
