• Self charging hybrids? 8 Jan 2023 (Forum)

• Corsa/Fiesta/Clio/208 - Used hatchback recommendations 4 Apr 2022 (Forum)
  I am looking to buy a used car, no older than 2019 plate and probably less than 10k miles and probably under £13k.  I currently drive a Peugeot 207 which I've had 7 years but is starting to give me a lot of problems. Any recommendations for which would be best?  I drive around 10k a year.  I don't know much about cars so would love to hear your views.

• Mini 2012 1.6 Petrol Auto - Engine malfunction light 13 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Hi, Last week thursday the check engine light came on. i booked it in for a diagnostic at the mini dealer. The car seemed to have lost some power but still able to drive anyway i stopped driving it. The appointment was this morning.

• Peugeot 407 - Power Steering Leak 25 Feb 2015 (Forum)
    It is leaking out of the cap quite excessively and also it is starting to become very heavy when driving. I had tried to 'bleed it' as suggested on another thread by overfilling, turning to almost full lock, running engine etc and then test drive. This didn't solve anything as it is still gushing out the top of the cap.
