Repairing cars in this recession. 5 Oct 2008 (Forum)
Quick strip down, decoke, regrind valves and new valve stem seals, possibly re-ring and shell if needed, £thousands reduced to £hundreds. Last set of diesel injectors i had overhauled for £40 the lot (Renault 21), seems almost a lifetime now, and the costs i hear of similar work runs to ridiculous figures. Obviously the newer computerised everything cars will be almost impossible to fix without the use and knowledge of very complex equipment, will we see a renewed demand for those superb easy to work on a well designed cars of 80's/90's, carina/corolla/primera/cavalier/405/loads more contenders. -

Japanese versus the rest. 21 Feb 2003 (Forum)
(Note I said owners rather than drivers - if your company is paying the bill I can quite see that you'll choose the one *you* want to drive rather than worry about the bills). We have a Yaris AND a Maestro so have a foot in each camp. I've had Renaults, Fords, Peugeots, Rovers.....so don't have an axe to grind but given that you can now get a Jap. to suit all tastes ie. Lexus instead of BMW or Merc. Micra/Yaris instead of Corsa/Pug 206. Landcruiser/Nissan X.Trail instead of Disco/Freelander. -
