• vauxhall vectra brakes binding 8 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, i have a 2002 vectra 1.8 sxi, lovely car, but the brakes have started to bind. The offside front is worse, tho it`s still affecting the nearside front.

• One car two prices 13 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Yesterday I put a deposit down on a Citroen C3 1.4 SX, six months old from local Citroen Dealer. I had actually gone out to look at C1's, but they were too small: considered a new C3 Desire but having test drove the 54 reg SX on the forecourt, bought that for slightly cheaper, at £8495 before discount PX etc. I am happy with the deal, the finance and glad of the PX for my Octavia. £500 Deposit left.
• How do I get better fuel consumption 3 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Scenic dci 120 with approx 6k on the clock. The most mpg I am getting is very low 40's whereas the manual says I should be looking at 38.2 / 56.5 / 48.7 respectively for urban, extra urban and Combined. I can understand that when SWMBO has it for a week at a time doing 2 mile journeys to college then it will be the lower end of the scale.
• Audi A3 Thoughts 12 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  BUT - I am doing quite a bit of mileage now and it has to go I think distressing as it might be, it need s a lot of servicing, the repair bill can be high, and the fuel consumption is another story. Anyone want to buy? Having looked at some impressive diesel cars I really like the Audi A3 2.0 diesel with DSG.
• Rover 75 Tourer 14 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Certainly - don't buy a Rover 75, new, or almost new, with your own money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An Aston Martin would cost less to run when the 75's depreciation is taken into account!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Paul {Forest of Bowland}
• Lagos ... Motoring hell! 20 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  Skoda, VW, Merc, Renault all well represented, as are Toyota, Nissan and Peugeot. Most vehicles seem to be Pug 504's (the circa 75 one!), favoured by govt departments, it wopuld appear. about 10% of all vehicles DON'T have some form of accident damage! Despite the poor state of the roads, there are still a fair few Flash motors - I saw more Jag XK8's than I have ij Cape Town!
• Decisions, decisions .......... 16 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  The M5 would beat most so called sports cars hands down for pure enjoyment and driver satisfaction ? it?s a proper sports car just with a saloon body, the 540 on the other hand will be more ?relaxed? (if you can call 286bhp and almost 300 lbft of torque relaxed !) and more flexible as it can be had in estate form.

• Subaru Forester XT 2008 - emissions seem good 19 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  Took the good lady's Forester XT in for MOT today, clean pass, apparently they still use a decelerometer on full time 4x4's (i did wonder if they had some sort of free wheel device for the other axle by now), bet he enjoyed a blast in the little pocket rocket. Interesting the emission test results. LPG ppm vol, max limit 1200, actual value 90 CO %vol max limit 3.500, actual value 0.000 Be very glad to pay up the £550 VED required for all that pollution :-))

• Used car advice 10 Oct 2017 (Forum)
  I've just sold an old Porsche Boxster S (25MPG) and am about to part company with my Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6D (60MPG). I'd like to replace them with one car that finds a healthy compromise between the 2. I'm looking for something with great economy as I cover around 24k per year, some style and a strong engine as I enjoy driving enthusiastically.
