• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Tyre goo 4 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Bought an S-max. I like it, however in keeping with lots of modern cars there's no spare, just goo and a compressor. Have been thinking that this will be a real pain if I do get a puncture, and I think ruins a possibly repairable tyre.

  New 57 reg Ka`s on sale at Ford dealers for £4,995. What`s the likely lifespan (engine and body)and typical problems that would be encountered in ownership? I seem to remember paying just a few hundred less than that in 1985 for a VW Polo C.
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - V Reg HDi - Electrical problems 6 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, I wonder if you can help regarding a friend?s car. She has a Pug 306 HDi (V reg). The rear wiper has always been temperamental, sometimes it does a full sweep, sometimes not but it?s never been a really huge problem. Over the weekend, she put on the rear wiper and the battery light came illuminated on the dash.

• mk4 Golf PD115 and 130 - identifying. 11 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  A lot of people are trying to pass off pre 2001 115's as 130's which is physically impossible, so I assume on the crossover cars of mid 2001, it could be hard to tell. Not too bothered which we end up with to be honest, as I'm more concerned about condition and service history, but it would be nice to be able to tell for sure what the car we're looking at is.

• Peugeot 406 queries 13 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Just bought a very nice 99 Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI at auction tonight,and notice it needs one or two minor things doing to it. 1.n/s/f and n/s/r/ indicators don't work,although the front wing one does.(Bulbs??) 2.n/s/r/brake light doesn't work.(Again bulb??) 3.Spanner light is on.How do you re-set it if you service a car yourself?
• Mondeo variants 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  An optioned up Zetec S 2.2 TDCi 155 could be the the ideal sub 20k mix of driving pleasure, family carrying, economy and subtle sporty looks if only it were available! Regards.
• American Car Reliability 21 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  v=e&t=26091&m=267187 Quite a lot of discrepancies between the 2 surveys in your post. For instance the Consumer Report lists the Jaguar S-Type and Jaguar X-Type at the top of the LEAST reliable listings for mid-range cars; this list also includes the Merc S, E, & C Classes and BMW 5 & 7 Series. (Although how Mercedes S Class & BMW 7 Series are listed as 'mid range' cars beats me.)

• Travel Advice? (not strictly motoring) 3 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  But it is for a motoring holiday, and I\'ve been offered so much good advice on here for other parts of the holiday [makes hurt little puppy eyes at moderators] OK, so assuming this hasn\'t been deleted, here\'s my question: We have economy flights booked with BMI across to Chicago, then an American Airline to LA. I was thinking about the possibility of getting the seats upgraded, since it\'s such a long flight, and it\'s our honeymoon.
