  Porschy and best 23 Jun 2011 (Ask HJ)
  I currently have a BMW Z4 coupe (57 - Dec 2007, 3.0 Sport manual, FSH, 44k), which I would like to change. I recently drove the new Z4 35i and was unimpressed....

  Chattering Class 24 Jul 2010 (Ask HJ)
  I have owned a series of S-Class Mercedes. At least ten in a row, all wonderful, and all petrol. Recently, against my better judgement, I bought an ex-demonstrator...

  Shifting circumstances 14 Mar 2010 (Ask HJ)
  My problem is probably not uncommon. Some 5 years ago I suffered a series of strokes, which left me with an insubordinate left leg. I was advised by our...
• Drove a few cars yesterday 10 May 2009 (Forum)
  The bonnet has a subtle bulge which looks lovely from the driver?s seat. The car feels fantastic on the road with firm suspension and nice positive steering. The engine pulls well from low revs and is very quiet (I honestly wouldn't have known it was a diesel had I not been told).
• 4 Months with the Corolla ST 29 Sep 2025 (Forum)
  So to anyone wanting a spacious, quick, economical biggish estate go and have a drive. But stick to the Icon with its 205 55 profile tyres, the 45's and 40's do nothing for the car.

  Can you suggest a replacement for our Suzuki Vitara? 28 Mar 2022 (Ask HJ)
  My Suzuki Vitara is six years old and starting to need a few extra repairs every MoT and service. The tinny sounding doors are also beginning to annoy...

  Should I get Michelin or Continental tyres? 17 Nov 2020 (Ask HJ)
  You recommend Michelin CrossClimate+ but they're not available in my tyre size. Are Cross Climate SUVs just as good or would Continental AllSeasonContact...

  Is a cam belt change necessary? 9 Jun 2020 (Ask HJ)
  I own a 2015 Audi A3 e-tron plug in hybrid, and find it brilliant in every way. It was our main car but 18 months ago I passed it on to my wife, who only...

  What's the best aftermarket reversing camera? 25 Mar 2019 (Ask HJ)
  I am considering fitting a reversing camera to my recently purchased Honda Jazz, to supplement the reversing sensors. I am looking at the Halfords EchoMaster...

  Will an MGB retro fitted with a V8 still be classed as historic and tax free? 8 Feb 2019 (Ask HJ)
  I'm looking to buy a 1970s MGB GT V8. An original car will be classed as an historic vehicle affecting the need for tax and MoT. Many of the originally...

  A neighbour reversed into my car and is blaming me - what do I do to stop the claim being 50/50 fault? 1 Dec 2017 (Ask HJ)
  I have recently been involved in an incident where I reversed out of my relatives' driveway and was stationary on the roadside. A neighbour then reversed...

  Ford Powershift gearbox fault - unacceptable issue? 4 Dec 2015 (Ask HJ)
  We have a 60 reg S-MAX with the power shift box. We bought it second hand from a large non-Ford dealer. When the car was 3 1/2 years old but with only...
• Can I be a revolutionary? 9 Jul 2013 (Forum)
   Neither are intuitive, with too many functions buried in hard find menus that take an age to drill down.   Compared to our S-Max and Juke, both with decent size touch screens in the centre of the dash, capable of dealing with most things within a couple of pushes so you can do things like pair up a phone at the trafic lights, rather than having to sit in the car park for five minutes.
• N/A - Road Traffic Act section 151 7 Feb 2013 (Forum)
    I've read said section and am struggling to see how they can apply it to me, but I'm no expert so thought it would be worth asking on here. Subsection 1 of S.151 states that "This section applies where [...] a judgment to which this subsection applies is obtained."  This would indicate to me that their claim under S.151 falls at the first hurdle, as no judgment of any kind has been obtained against me.

  Should I switch off my Audi A4's ESP to improve control in snow and ice? 6 Dec 2010 (Ask HJ)
  I bought a new Audi A4 2.0 TFSI (211) Multitronic in May last year. In winter weather I missed my old 2.5 auto X-Type, which had AWD and seemed much more...
• FIAT Doblo - FIAT Doblo 1.9 in JTD & MJ forms – consumption 2 May 2010 (Forum)
    I loved it but the local garage warned of expensive repairs imminent.   Averaged 47 mpg, low 40’s round town in the winter, low 50’s motorway in the summer. Replaced with 1.9 MJ 105bhp, 56 reg, 3 months ago, with about 27K on the clock - now + 3K.
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 04 2.0 TDCi turbo vane actuator problem (P132A) 28 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  I know this post goes on a bit but it seems there are a lot of people with similar problems to me and I?m trying to collate everyone?s knowledge into a workable solution. Car has done, 109k miles History Driving at 70mph on dual carriageway came to slight hill and applied extra power. Suddenly the power dropped right off and the glow plug warning light started to flash.
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - Oh no, not another bangernomics post! 17 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Paid £1150 for it 3 years ago with 91k miles on it. Now showing 118k. Not a huge annual mileage I know, but during that period that?s just the same mileage I would have done had it been a brand new car. Everything from 2 miles to the shops, to 1500 miles in a week on holiday. And it's been totally abused: Apart from one oil and filter change when I first got it, it's had ZERO servicing.
• A few days in China, cars, pollution, perspective 26 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Beyond that and the political perspective, just wait for something like a Chinese interpretation of a Jazz coming in for £4,000 and wiping the floor, as seen with British bikes in the 60`s. What do you think? Regards
• sorn point 12 May 2007 (Forum)
  Bah! Community policing! Billy?s in disgruntled mode, I have lived in my little terraced house, in a little terraced street, (seven houses) that goes to nowhere, for 20 years. In all that 20 years I have never parked my car anywhere else but in the narrow back street, as do a lot of my neighboughs.
