• Laguna Facelift. 24 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  It seems they have grafted a Megane II nose onto the body shell, (it looks like an almera at the front now) the rest appears much the same. Some interior changes, looks like its got a version of the BMW I-drive, and softer colour schemes but much the same inside. Oh dear Oh dear Renault, what have you done :(

• Xantia Speedo 18 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  For some time now the speedo has been erratic, sometimes working, sometimes displaying 50mph whatever speed I'm doing. It's progressively got worse so that now it doesn't work 90% of the time (I've been driving using the Rev Counter). Will this be the speedo cable or the dial? Is it going to cost me more than the cars worth to fix it? Thanks Simon
• mondeo diesel, underfuelling 14 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Hiya folks, Any help here would be appreciated.I have a Mondeo diesel, (`99, endura type belt drive, 1.8td) which I suspect of underfuelling. The pistons are all white on top and the heater plugs have burnt away, and the engine shudders when idling as though misfiring and lacks power at speed.The turbo blows.
• Wifey wants a new car! 8 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  My wife has had a smart for the last four years, but she is now ready for a change. It's a second car but the replacement still needs to be small to fit on the drive. She is considering a Ford Ka or a VW Lupo/Seat Arosa - budget up to about £6,000. We've owned loads of Ford's and I am aware of the Ka's ancient engine technology, but any other opinions on her choices?
• Ford Tourneo Connect 31 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Yet while the Citroen and the Fiat are classed as cars, the Ford Tourneo Connect is classed as a commercial vehicle. Any idea why that is? And any idea how it compares with the Berlingo to drive and to have as one's main car?

• VW Passat door sensors 25 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Does anyone know where the sensors to switch on the interior lights when doors are opened are located. I have a problem with the drivers door which keeps turning the interior lights on when I'm driving along. Opening and shutting the door solved the problem at first but now I think its kaput! Big problem with this is that the central locaking and alarm now don't work! Any advice much appreciated!
• Weird Franchise Combination 11 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  So I stood there waiting for my keys and the diagnostics on the failed VW climatronic system. The guy behind me had just been for a test drive in a Trajet while the bloke next to me was discussing the suspension on his Elise. Surreal.

• SUV-Beefiest of them all 14 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  It has been suggested, by e-mail, that I might have moderated this thread in a biased manner due to me being one of those who actually drives an SUV. That wasn't my intention, nor do I think its accurate, but reading I can see the point. Nobody ever gave me an "undelete key", so I've taken the thread out.
