  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 9-5-2015 9 May 2015 (News)
  The MoT and car tax expired at the end of July last year and it has been stored on grass since then (I believe the engine has been turned over monthly since then). I had a look at it at the weekend and started it with jump leads; the front discs looked rusty and the front tyres looked like they could do with replacing. The oil looked okay and the drive we had in first and reverse gear seemed to indicate no other problems (although the owner thinks that it will need a new clutch soon).

  Used Van Buying Guide: Berlingo 2008-2016 22 Nov 2019 (News)
  .   Maintenance  on a  Citroen Berlingo Over time Citroen and all other van manufacturers are pushing servicing schedules ever further, but experts suggests that the Berlingo is worth visiting a garage every 12,000 miles or 12 months for an oil and filter change, any more  potentially leading to damage in the long run. A general service won’t break the bank, being around £100, a larger one about double that, depending on your garage’s labour rate, of course. They’re fairly simple things, too, so any competent mechanic can work on them.

  Restoring Jaguar's Heritage 9 Dec 2013 (News)
  We scanned and digitised our original restoration, and this one will be all-but identical.' It's a beautiful car in bare-shell form. But when Nick leads us round the corner to see the original Lindner- Nöcker car, we're stopped in our tracks momentarily. If you're not familiar with the story of this famous Low Drag Lightweight E-type, it's worth reading up on it - the car was one of only 12 lightweight E-types built by Jaguar in 1963 and 1964.

  Secret documents revealed: The future of BL 8 Apr 2013 (News)
  Workers were asked to vote for the 1980 Corporate Plan, which incorporated these changes to union working practices, as well as agreeing to 13 full- or partial-factory closures and the loss of 25,000 jobs. And in the lead up to the vote, Margaret Thatcher's policy adviser, John Hoskyns said, 'the result of the ballot will clearly be a material - but by no means the only - consideration, in considering whether to commit further sums of taxpayers' money.'

  Rover P8 & P9 2 Aug 2013 (News)
  The other problem for Spen King was that not only was the P5 an ageing car, its engine was also past its sell-by date and even though straight six versions of the P7 were produced, there was never any serious consideration given to the use of this power unit in any upcoming car that would lead Rover into the Seventies. Six cylinder versions of the Rover 2000 engine were, however, developed and displacing 2967cc managed to produce a more-than-healthy 150bhp even in single carburettor form.

  What to watch     As with any four-wheel drive commercial vehicle, have a good look underneath for any damage due to off-road scuffs and knocks. It’s worth checking the rear driveshafts, too, as the gearshift cables can contact them, leading to loss of drive - this was the subject of a recall of vehicles built between Nov 2015 and Feb 2016. Any sluggishness of response and high fuel economy might be related to the mass airflow sensor.

  Frazer Nash sells for £236,000 at Brightwells auction 14 May 2015 (News)
  Not bad for a model which usually struggles to fetch even half that amount.b An almost equally smart 1975 P6 3500S with only 30,300 miles which raised a mighty £9900. Brightwells’ lead consultant, James Dennison said the sale achieved an 80% clearance rate. 'There is plenty of life in the classic vehicle sector and there are no shortage of willing buyers out there only too keen to have a nice old car or motorcycle in the garage rather than a lump of cash mouldering in a bank account,' he said.

  Friday concept: Austin AR6 Prototype 23 Aug 2013 (News)
  This new engine was totally unrelated to the K-Series that was designed for the 1973 ADO74 , and incorporated many lessons learned during the ECV3 Programme. Unlike the Metro, and following the lead of the Maestro and Montego, the new car was developed with a conventional McPherson strut/rear coil suspension system, which would no doubt be honed to a level of competence shared with its bigger brothers.

  Sustainable Mobility, According to Renault Eco2 16 Jun 2010 (News)
  And finally, ‘Triple Post Injection’ more precisely supplies fuel to regenerate the diesel particulate filter, preventing fuel being wasted, contaminating sump oil and eventually leading to a rise in sump oil levels with potentially disastrous consequences. Out on the road, this new engine is a revelation. It pulls cleanly from 1,000rpm, power delivery is linear with no troughs and peaks, it’s very quiet and utterly viceless.
