• Honda Accord Tourer - Changing ATF 10 May 2010 (Forum)
  Hello Everybody, I have just agreed to purchase a Honda Accord Tourer diesel automatic from a Honda dealer (13 months old & 8,800 miles) - as this will be my first ever automatic car can any auto experts advise on how often the ATF should be changed ? I wish to keep the car for as long as possible so am wondering if changing the ATF every 2 years is ok (my annual milage is circa 15,000).
• More economical car wanted for 160 mile commute 19 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  If it won't reduce by much then it's probably not worth the hassle or expense of changing the car. I only drive automatic so would need to find an automatic diesel. Any general tips on reducing my fuel bill would be gratefully received! Thx in advance.

• Mondeo joins the ranks of legends like.. 5 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  "The Mondeo being used for chase scenes in the Bahamas is a souped-up 140mph model [so at least it's not a TDCi then.] Craig, 38 yesterday, drives only automatics ? so the car had to be modified." I wonder if that's true (as opposed to them just starting with an auto) and if so (presuming they used an ST) did they put an autobox in one or transplant the ST bodykit and interior to an existing automatic.

• Volvo V70 2005 electric driver's seat 9 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  On a previous Volvo when you opened the door with the key fob the seats automatically adjusted to the settings for that key and are supposed to do that for 2005 V70's. On my current Volvo the seat settings are registered, but 98% of the time the seat does not adjust automatically to the key fob which opened the door (my wife and I have different seat settings and individual key fobs) and to adjust the seat for the relevant driver you have to push the manual button in the seat to get the correct setting.

• Anti-Kevs 19 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Makes you wonder wether it isd safer to have them on permanently than not at all, since it was obvious some people cannot work out when they should and should not, or was it that they don't want to be given a possible 'kevin' classification? I wonder when car manufacturers will design a similar system to automatic wipers where fog lights automatically turn on when it is foggy. Mark.
