Honda CR-V Suzuki Vitara - Honda CRV or save cash on a Vitara? 11 May 2018 (Forum)
I’ve been looking for a suitable family car for the last few months and have now seen two cars which I think might fit my requirements.. The first is a Honda CR-V 1.6 SR automatic, 65 plate with 20k miles. It’s a nice, plush feeling motor which drives smoothly with nice auto box and bags of space. Alternatively, I could save myself £3500/4000 on the same year and mileage 1.4 booster jet Suzuki Vitara. -

Honda Civic - Honda Civic Showroom launch 21 Feb 2017 (Forum)
The array of safety features on all but the base model is impressive with adaptive cruise, blind spot monitoring, collision avoidance and so on. A lot to go wrong as the car ages. The electric hand brake seems to offer manual and automatic operation options. Again probably OK for the first buyer but I'd prefer the old mechanical system. Only a simple brochure was available so I couldnt check out stuff like wheel and tyre options but I suspect the 16" has been dropped and they are all 17/18". -
vauxhall zifira B (57 plate) - torque app or ecu please help 2 Jul 2016 (Forum)
Hi There Im Just wondering if anyone could help, i just purchased a zifira b (on a 57 plate) over a week ago off a private seller, which seemed in good nick, anyway after a couple of days driving the car i noticed the dreaded engine light appear on the dashboard of the car, and i noticed that the ashtray was missing from under the handbrake which sent red flags flying, so instead getting someone to check in the garage i decided to give it a go at getting a bluetooth obdll connector and plugged it into the connector in the car and i downloaded the torque app from google playstore but i kept on having problems establishing a connection wirelessly or by blue tooth so i went onto amazon and got a op-com usb diagnostics scanner and i made sure i had the micro adapter so i could plug it into my galaxy s5 neo smartphone, it automatically started torque as soon as i connected it but i keep getting the same error message all the time, which is really frustrating because i have triad messing with the settings etc, i am a pretty tech person most of the time, ((No Response From The OBD Adapter,Did You Select The Right Baud Rate)) Could anyone please tell me where i am going wrong or if theres another problem somewhere,??
