• 1.7 2wd or 2.0 awd - Kia sportage 13 Jan 2013 (Forum)

• Cars without lights! 9 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  A dark cold wet night. Vauxhall Vectra with one dim side light on one side and nothing showing on the other. Driving agressively; I.e. itching to overtake, rolling over the stop lines at traffic lights etc etc. How does one report this nonsense? I kept thinking that the next MoT test would get him, but then I realised he was probably driving without an MoT or insurance and getting away with it because there are not enough checks carried out.
• Toyota Yaris - Orange engine light on dash intermittently on 27 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  Hi, Does anyone know what it means when the orange engine light comes on on the dashboard? I took it in for service and soon after this light started coming on when I had been driving more than 20 minutes or so. This has never happened before. But then after a couple more times driving it would go off by itself. Not sure what it means and trying not to spend more money this year.
• BMW 5 Series E39 - BMW E39 520 Auto Selection Problem 3 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Previously I could pull the selector back in a straight line but now it won't budge past N and I have to move it in a slight dog leg to get it into Drive. The car drives fine once I have overcome this and I can select P,R & N in a straight line. is this an early indication of something terminal or just "old age" Any advice gratefully received TIA

• family car - £1600 to Spend on a Nippy family car? 12 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  Currently got a C5 hdi which is pretty good in transporting the children around, however would like some more power. I've come from a youngster driving performance motors to a 31 year old father of 2 driving gutless transport. But the TD's have transformed over the years and wondered what your suggestions were. A VW would seem the ideal solution but outpriced by demand, ideally a 130 or 150 TDI would be good, any ideas?

• Citroen Xsara Diesel 'Y' Reg - Citroen Xsara Diesel loosing coolant water 26 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, I have noticed that the car is loosing coolent water, because I have to fill it up every day or 2.   The car never overheats on long drives, but the coolant warning light come on when I drive in heavy traffic. The cars performance is OK and I cant see any water in the oil, or see water on the floor.  Not sure what to look for.

• Citroen Xsara Estate - New Clutch Judder 13 May 2011 (Forum)
  Hi all, I noticed recently that the clutch pedal had a vibration to it when used, after taking itto a garage I was advised that the clutch needed replacing.  after having it replaced today (was told the flywheel didnt need replacing), driving home I've noticed that there's a very noticable judder driving off, dropping into first and engaging reverse.  Is this normal for a new clutch and if not any ideas what could cause it.  It would be good to know before i go back to the garage tomorrow to avoid any flannel.....
