• Update - chattering relay in 205 8 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Initially identified with 3000 rpm, then with gusty wind or occasionally a water-splash. Located a dodgy wire connection (an add-on with the alarm) which caused the chatter, behind the n/s headlamp. Luckily not somewhere in the wiring loom!
• Diesel injector pump info. 21 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Has anyone found worthwhile info on the web to assist in stripping down diesel injector pumps? I would normally fit an exchange unit if needed on a modern car but have a spare pump (u/s due to diesel leaks) for the old Land Rover and would like to have a fiddle. The search engines don't seem to turn up much. David
• Peugeot 309 boot leak 10 Feb 2001 (Forum)
  My Pug 309 has a leak in the boot which seem common to all 309's and the bad thing about it is that you get a large build up of water under the rear seats which in time will badly stain or ruin them all together and effects its re-sale value. Does anybody know how I can stop this leak ?
• Channel 4 Thursday 19th - Car theft gangs exposed 20 Jun 2025 (Forum)
  Last night s programme highlighted the trade in car parts from stolen cars. . Usually high end Audis and Range Rover but Ford Fiesta for some reason ? The  trackers are disabled and the cars are “ chopped “ in a matter of hours packed into containers for shipping to Eastern Europe or beyond.
• Fire at Bicester Heritage 17 May 2025 (Forum)
    There are several classic car restoration companies based here and I remember seeing  Mike Brewer s workshop on site  ( Wheeler Dealers ) too where Elvis refurbished the cars that Mike had bought . Also there are new car showrooms for Polestar and other companies 
• £25k MG Montego turbo! 11 Nov 2023 (Forum)
    Seems even more ambitious a price when you bear in mind you could buy both the ZT V8 260's up for sale on the same website for £6.5k less........
• BMW i3 - I3 catches fire and takes out 3 shops then vanish 9 May 2023 (Forum)
  But interestingly the car disappeared when arrangement s were made to collect the car for examination. So the owner and the shop owners are left with an insurance claim she can’t progress  This is an exclusive story from the Times which has a paywall .
• Talking pictures TV 2 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  Older members may recall this series (narrated by Edgar Lustgarten) younger members may find pictures of 1960's life of interest. (No hard hats on building sites, senior cops smoking cigarettes in their office, Wolseley 6/80 police cars.   A vanished world.
• Pug 207SW 5-door - Rainwater entry 20 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  [ I will be surprised if this topic draws many suggestions ]  Water builds up in the rear n/s footwell after heavy rain.  My natural assumption was via the door and a failed membrane behind the door-card, but this seems not to be the case.  My next guess is entry round the rear lamp cluster, running forward under the carpeting.
• Mini Convertible auto - Mini Convertible auto 22 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  Did Mini fix this or change to a different auto box? If so what year would be the first to consider without the CVT problem. I wouldn't want a Cooper S; an ordinary Cooper or a One would be OK. 
• Montego - a rarity now - for sale 15 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  Never liked the Renault 17 but that Montego is something I’ve fond memories of. I flogged loads of them in the 90’s and rust aside had not one bit of bother. They were much better cars than their reputation suggested, all drove well and they were actually pretty well made once you got past the 1987 facelift. Shame they didn’t rust treat the things properly.
• Audi A4 B6 - Interior lights not working 2 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  The roof lining back and since then both interior lights don't work. I've changed the fuse which had blown whch retired power to the boot light s but as soon as the interior light is switched on it blows again. It doesn't look as if he has replaced the main plug back to front. Any ideas please ?
• Inflatable Doll in Car Crash Shocker 2 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  I'm expecting a top performance here from AE, BBD Lud and the other BR wise-guys. Don't let me down lads http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1069162_blowup_doll_blunder

• Ford Fiesta - Unknown groaning noise commensurate with road spee 19 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  Hello, My 2015  Ford Fiesta 1.0 iitre 5 speed ecoboost has a  groaning noise commensurate with road speed, the noise remains even when neutral is elected at all speeds. I don't think  it is a wheel bearing(s) as the noise remains the same on whatever lock is applied Any ideas please? Regards David

  Lots of posts on this across forums and multiple ideas on possible fixes... But no definitive answer/s! Thanks.
• Honda CR-V 2.0lt Petrol 4WD Auto 65/2015 Plate - Engine power 18 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  This engine is very under-powered for an otherwise perfect car, un-responsive in Auto. I have to engage S and use the paddle change to drive up the steep hills were I live. Can this engine be tuned to give more power in Auto?
• vw touran 62 plate - Taillight glass 18 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  The glass taillight cover on the n/s back wing has been broken. Not the part on the tailgate. How do I remove and replace the glass, I can find how to replace bulbs but not the glass itsself. Any help would be gratefully appreciated as I would hate to pay for a garage to fix it.
• Land Rover Range Rover Evoque - Evoque used prices 26 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  It's now 3 years old but prices are still 80-85% of full price! Will they only start to come down when it is replaced? Most ed4's are still £25k+ and its only £30k new - is there still a waiting list inflating used prices?
