• V6 - Single Turbo?? 11 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  I maybe remembering incorrectly here? I know that the Ford-PSA 2.7 V6 in the S-Type and C6 etc is a twin turbo set-up. I seem to remember that the new discovery with this engine only has one turbo though. Is this true? If so where is this turbo situated and is it just linked to one bank.

  Hi all, I have an 1994 Omega, has an elec. sunroof. There's water stains on the n/s velour pillar, you know, the 'corner' of the w/screen. I've checked the drain hole on that side of the sunroof, but it looks ok......just like the other side's hole. Could this be the cause even tho. it looks ok?
• Car Hire in USA or UK 20 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  If so, what do you think of them. They have offered to price match any rate I get elsewhere. Alternatively s it better to rent when we get there?
• French 4x4 15 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Sitting in a jam on a french motorway, as many cars passed quicker than me (typical) I wondered why the french manufacturers have not entered the 4x4 market. OK, in the 80's you could get a 4x4 405 and BX; and Renault did the Scenic RX4 but they've never done a big 4x4. Given Citroen's experience of hydaulic suspension you would think they would be well placed to enter this market.
• Bullbars 24 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Sorry a quote from the "4x4's in accidents" thread had made me rather cross! >> it was discovered that there was absolutely no evidence of any cases where a bull-bar had been responsible for increasing the seriousness of injury in any accident. >> Sorry, that is the biggest load of rubbish I have heard for years, infact it makes me quite angry!!!!!!!!
• Astra - diesel pump interchangeability. 21 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, Would really appreciate some advice on the following. I'm having to replace a x20DTL engine on my 1999/S 2.0 DI 16V. I'm replacing the fuel pump too (as this has broken) and want to know if I can get away with using a replacement engine with a fuel pump that has a slightly different code to the original one?
• Zafira Gsi Turbo 15 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  We have found one at a local dealer who wants 22695 for a version with full leather, rear sensors, fr. and rr. s/r, and r/rails .Oh he will knock 400 off for cash .Big deal I thought. On H J's suggestion I've been offered one without the trinkets for 17973 through broker4Cars or 20340 with the goodies. Any thoughts gratefully received.
• ford escort central locking 14 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, My son's just bought a 1991 escort but it has a central locking problem. He is able to lock the doors from the outside but unable to unlock the car from the driver`s side door. Looking at previous forum Q and A's I gather worn locks or keys are the reason. He only has the one key with the car. Is it feasible to swap the passenger door lock with the driver's door lock, this would at least save him having to run around the car every time he needs to get in?
• How many coats of gloss protection ? 17 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Would it protect better or last longer?? I quite enjoy doing it. After a day failing to make some teenagers any more bright, it\'s good to succeed with something that looks better afterwards, doesn\'t answer back and doesn\'t resent my efforts!!
• Owners Manual Howlers 2 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Hi All Reading through my MX 5's owners manual tonight it's absolutely FULL of "CAUTION!" and "WARNING!" boxes with classics like; "Do not attempt to install the hardtop with the convertible top also up." "Standing in the vehicle...when it's moving is a dangerous way to ride.
• mid size car for 3 grand? 9 Aug 2004 (Forum)

SWMBO is tempted by the audi, but do they make good high mileage buys? Thanks people.........
• Vectra C SRi - Looking for quieter tyres 9 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  The Goodyears seem to be an excellent all round tyre, but they are very noisy on certain surfaces.. Anyone know of a quieter alternative in the 215/50 17 sizes? I did try pirelli p6000's on the omega and they were pretty good, but not necessarily ideal. THanks SImon _____________________________________

• How best to sell Saab 900 18 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  my neighbour is swapping her 1997 Saab 900 SE (I think, rather than just an S) for something a little large to accomodate her kids. This 97P has 49k and is an auto and is in *excellent* condition. She is getting a Renault Scenic and it seems that she has been offered £1500 as PX.
