• Peugeot 106 Diesel fumes problem? 16 Dec 2003 (Forum)

• Stereotypes of Bad Driver 29 May 2003 (Forum)
  Just a bit of fun this one and not aimed at causing offence. In my everyday driving I notice drivers of the same make, model or class of cars displaying the same types of poor driving. Has anyone else noticed this. Please give your suggestions & reasons. I will give my four best (worst) examples as this thread is drawing to an end, but in the meantime I do not want to influence anyone.
• Mitsubishi Sat Nav system 16 May 2003 (Forum)
  A friend has just bought a recently imported Mitsubishi 4 wheel drive fitted with the original Sat Nav system. The remote is missing, and the screen is still in Japanese, and is trying to tell us that we are driving around a small offshore island next to Tokyo. Anybody know if these systems can be anglicised, and suggest a competent person to do this (preferably in the Stoke on Trent area).
• MGZT190 in, Passat out? 21 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  I have owned a Passat 1.8T for six months, drives OK, but a bit dull. However the interior groans and rattles more than any car I have ever owned. I escaped from SWMBO today and test drove an MGZT. Fantastic drive and interior felt very solid. I've owned three Rovers in the past and never had a problem.
