  I have been looking at W-X reg lowish millage Puntos and find that all of them show signs of an oil leak underneath the car, around the gearbox area. I also notice that the rocker cover gaskets seep oil as well. Are there some known problems?
• Nissan QX 22 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  I am loking for a three year old Nissan QX 2.0 V6 automatic. Unfortunately they almost all have high mileages. Is it realistic to expect a car of this sort that already has 90,000 miles on the clock to cover a further 120,000 over the next eight years without major mechanical problems? John

• Toyota Celica - RA29 Electrical Issues 7 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  I was so surprised it started up so perfectly after years of sitting around I did it again, the same result so I shut it off to put the cover on. I put the cam cover on and tried again, instead of starting it made a kinda click noise and wouldn't start, I tried again and this time it didn't make the click noise at all, was completely dead.

• Invalid Cars 4 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Driving through Crawley this lunchtime, saw one of these little electric cars (the sort usually driven by old ladies along the pavement). This was being driven by a man but along the road, even though there was a pavement available. He just trundled on as though he was a miniature car.

• Renault Laguna 3 - Laguna 3 estate boot panels 11 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  The removable right side boot panel in my car seems to have lost the ability to close the catch and stay in place. I can see no obvious way of accessing the fixings on it and wondered if this was a replacement part. The car is less than 3 years old - would this be covered on warranty?
• Grinding volcanic ash into the paint & glass 28 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  I noticed a car covered in it last week. The rear wiper had been deployed and there was a clear arc you could see through. There was little on our cars just South of Leeds - although I kept them rinsed off with a hose - in particular the glass areas.
• Ford S Max 1 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Saw second S Max today (first one parked though). Looks really good- and not much taller than normal car. Think that looked odd was the metalwork on the top of the rear n/s door was covered in masking tape- and car had a 55 reg- didn't these go on sale after the 06 plates came out? Would still like one though.
