• Hyundai Tucson - Power Failure Same Place 6 Apr 2022 (Forum)
    Both diesels, first was a 1.7TDI, the current one is a 1.6TDI MHEV. Both DSG Automatics. I have had a strange loss of power in both though - only once each and exactly the same place, within a mile of home, returning from a long trip (over 100 miles). There was plenty of fuel in the tank.

• Vauxhall Grandland - Intellilux LED Headlights 7 Feb 2022 (Forum)
  You can see a transition from light to dark just ahead of an oncoming car as they constantly adjust. Beam patterns change automatically as road speed increases, motorways a longer, narrower beam, slightly slower A roads a wider beam pattern to illuminate verges. If you’re offered it as an option on a new car, I’d take it. Going back to my halogen lights will be a shock… I don’t have the Illumination Pack on this one - that offers infrared vision via a camera in the grille displayed on the dash, but it’d be useful if you lived in a more rural area.

• Honda or Mazda auto - Opinions please 28 Aug 2021 (Forum)
  My leanings are to a 2016/2017 civic EX or 2018 Mazda 3 Sport Nav.. I'm 75 and Mrs is 10 years behind me. I'm thinking automatic this time. Opinions on the Civic and Mazda auto's please. Is there anything I should be aware of with either box? I appreciate that I (we) will need to test drive both so I'm not asking for specific recommendations, but would want to avoid buying something with potential similar issues to certain VW boxes for example.

• Mk 7 VW Golf GTD - Buying Advice 31 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  If I was more knowledgeable about cars I’d consider getting a higher mileage example provided it had been looked after - can anyone advise please that if I was to get a higher mileage one, what mileage range should I consider where it was likely to have had its major work done such as cam belt change etc.. Please note I’d happily consider an automatic  so what extra costs (and at what time of the car’s life) need I consider please? Obviously I’d check this with the seller , but seek this information so that I can narrow my search.

  What is a good car seat for a four-year-old? 12 Nov 2019 (Ask HJ)
  What is a good car seat for a four-year-old?
• Buying used car 20 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  I’m a newbie in terms of what’s best on a car but my ideal car should have: comfort, good handling, engine size and bhp like my Seat or slightly more bhp (180 to 200ish max), automatic transmission. About petrol or diesel engine I have no idea, consider that usually my trips aren’t very long (commute is max 15/20 mins away plus local driving to shops in town) and I drive more during weekends (max 2 hours distance).
