    I have had a test drive in a 13 titanium X business edition and a 13 cc gt 177. Both manual and similar miles. I narrowed my choice down to these two and expected to be able to choose. Trouble is that they both seem to drive nicely albeit at speeds only up to 50.
  • 2003 BMW M3 - No power till warmed up 1 May 2016 (Forum)
    Next door neighbour starts his M3 every day, goes indoors leaving it ticking over for a good ten minutes, then gets in and drives away. Caught him today and asked why, (pointing out the quickest way to warm up is to drive off and put some load on the engine). He said "until its fully warm, there isn't any power, can't even change up to second" and claimed he'd heard this is a common problem with this version of the M3.

    I have a 2010 ix35, a few weeks ago the speedometer started being erratic going up and down when driving and stationary. Then about a week later my reverse camera stopped working, no camera or beeping sound. Then two days ago the sat nav started playing up, the location of my vehicle is always wrong and the arrow on the map does not move when I'm driving.
  • Peugeot 407hdi 2.0 - Lacks power peugeot 407hdi 2.0 4 Feb 2016 (Forum)
    Had this problem for months. Car drives well, smooth, pulls okish in lower gears, but in 5th 6th it's very flat, up at 50mph, put foot flat on the floor and accelerates poorly up to 70 sometimes seems as if 70 is the max and won't go any more, it's been diagnosed twice by a Peugeot specialist and another garage , both stumped by it, no faults showed apart from Maf sensor which was replaced ,no turbo faults came up,no faults on dash , there's no whistling, no smoke, all very frustrating drives well, just flat .

    Hi, I have noticed a rattling noise when the car is in gear and driving. doesn't seem to get louder the faster I go. It started off intermitadly now is almost everytime I drive the car.

    I am getting some nasty clunking noises when driving very slowly and turning the steering e.g. parking. There is a bit of play in the steering but I guess what I am hearing is the noise of a worn steering rack. Maybe some one could confirm that for me.
