• Peugeot Bipper Tepee 1.4 HDI SA 2010 - Peugeot Bipper Tepee transmission fault 28 May 2025 (Forum)
  I pulled over and then gently revved the car to try to pull away but the car jumped and stopped (as if the car had stalled in gear), I tried a few times but the same thing kept happening so I switched the engine off, waiting for a few seconds and then switched it back on again and pulled away with no problem in both automatic and semi-auto. This issue happened a few times and always when I was about to stop in gear (either mode) so to overcome this I cruised in neutral when I came to a junction, stopped and put it into gear and drove off with no issues and it only seemed to happen after the car had warmed up after a good drive out.

• 2006 Peugeot 307 SW 2.0 HDI 136 RHR 6 speed box - Clutch pedal springy at bottom of travel 19 Apr 2025 (Forum)
  I replaced the clutch and flywheel (LUK same as original) in 2019 at 138k, the new one has only done 23K, it seems to me that the clutch cover is not fully disengaging so probably the cover is faulty (maybe the automatic adjuster mechanism this seems to be an extra complication that isn't really needed). Has anyone come across this before? I wonder what stops the pedal at the bottom of it's travel, is it just it reaches the bottom of the master cylinder or is there a stop in the pedal box?

• Fun 2 Seater Sports Car between 6k and 10k 6 May 2024 (Forum)
    It was the most unreliable car I have ever owned but I loved it in equal measure.  I loved just going out for a drive.   I don't do this in the MX5! Automatic  Petrol as yearly mileage is about 5K.  I would prefer a Coupe but happy to go for a Convertible. I find the MX5 steering a tad light.  I just preferred how the Smart Roadster drove.

• Using km/h speedo in UK 1 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  It is possible to drive on motorways at 120 km/h (or 125 if you stretch it) without having to fear of getting ticket. Keeping track of posted speed limits is not an issue. The car automatically converts it. So if I am on 40 MPH road, the car displays 64 on dashboard. Also, mental calculations are not difficult - 20 MPH is 30 km/h, 30 is 50, 40 is 65, 50 is 80, 60 is 100, 70 is 110. NSL on single carriageway is 100 km/h - an easy to remember number.
