• AWD Estate Car 4 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  I originally suggested the Audi Quattro range but they were not keen. Am I missing anything out or does anyone have any suggestions? Would a rear wheel drive car with a decent traction control system do the trick? Current vehicles are quite old and therefore probably not up to date in this sense. Thanks

• Mitsubishi Colt Blue 10 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Simple enough thread here. I am short of opinion where it comes to cars. I have a budget of around £7000 for a car. I'm looking for pre-reg cars or used up to a year old and a 56 plate Mitsubishi Colt Blue is going for £7200 with delivery miles. The new Colts seem to be getting pretty good write ups on the internet and the price of 7.2k seems great compared to the list price of 8.5k.

• Quietest - Primera, Mondeo or Passat? 30 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  I have the opportunity to buy a cheap 1 year old fleet car at a good price and have tempted me for a change and pass my QX to my girlfriend. My question is, where would I be able to find the noise (in decibel) of a car make at 70mph? This car will be a work car (around 20k p.a.) so low cruising NVH, good handling and safety is key.

  I've removed the drum and all looks ok and have loostened the handbrake cable a bit but when I started the car the brake had seized again. Any ideas - I'm unwilling to pay much for a repair as the car is so old.

• Rumble Strips+ Car Radios 2 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Do you think that the vibrations from these rumble strips could have caused the damage to the stereo? Even at a 40mph the car vibrates considerably when I pass over the strips. P.S. I bought myself a new Panasonic CQ-RDP151N- it was only £90 (normally I worry about buying anything described as "entry level") but the sound quality is exceptional, one hundred times better than on my old "Pony"
• Peugeot 405 - falling to bits 12 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  This is becoming unbearable, the dealer always does his best to replace the parts which have broken, but the car is only a year old, what will it be like in 5 years time ? Should I get rid of it now and buy a Passat ? How do they get away with it ?
• Kia Ceed 3 - Dual Clutch Transmission review 22 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  Leaving the car in D and then using parking brake is not advised in the handbook (if you do so, the car will possibly move it to N from D internally as handbook says you must do D-N-D routine to move the car again if you apply parking brake while in D).

• Mazda Mazda 5 7-str (2005 - 2010) - Mini-test of facelift Mazda 5 4 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  The main difference is the additional of a five speed autobox instead of a four speed. (In the UK, the old model had no automatic and I think held up sales). The car we had over the Christmas break was superb. We did about 1,000 miles including a long drive from the north through the Negev desert to the Red Sea resort of Eilat.
