• Mondeo 2.0 GLX Auto - 4000 rev misfire 20 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  Fuel pressure, airmass meter, plugs, checked CAT, etc, etc, anyone have any similar experiences? The car is a mk2 auto, and when driving/running at anything less than 4k all  is smooth and it's driving well, on increased acceleration over 4k, the engine simply pulses and this affects the auto box, changing it up and down.

• Unavailable Licence 18 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  This process will take some 4 weeks (if posting) even longer if the postal strike goes ahead, before it is returned. Question is, what happens in the meantime? does the person drive? I they do decide to drive, and if stopped by the law, does he or she commit an offence because they technically cannot produce the licence within required number of days. With new licences you have to post off the card and paper copy as well.
• Keswick to Sevenoaks avoiding traffic 4 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Obviously I could go down the A66, A1, M11, M25. Or possibly M6, M40, M25. And I suppose I probably will. However, I fancy a relaxing drive, and don't like sitting in traffic jams and driving in urban areas and red lights. And the M25 is prone to being one big traffic jam. So - is it possible to do this journey during the hours of daylight in such a way that I can get around London without encountering much traffic, or am I being unrealistic?
• Ford - rusting 30 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Never had any rusting problems on previous cars (Renaults and Peugeots) even after various stone chips and accident damage. Shame because its a really good car to drive but I think the rusting problem would put me off buying one.
• Mazda Mazda 6 (2008 -) - 08 1.8 High engine revs on cold start 21 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  On cold start my Mazda 6 1.8TS petrol revs to 1500 and stays there for about two minutes, making driving difficult in that period. Mazda says this is a normal part of "cold start enrichment" and they have checked it a couple of times. But it doesn't feel right and seems dangerous at the high revs because it drives on the clutch during that period.
