  All, A friend of mine has just picked up a second hand car. It?s a 2000 (W) Vauxhall Vectra 2.0 CDX Dualfuel. It has 95k on the clock and has FSH. He paid £3k for it. I saw the car last night and it seems in top notch condition (although there was no owners manual so he can?t work out how
• Toyota Celica 16 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I am thinking about buying one of these. I think they still look good, the prices are very reasonable compared with the obvious competitors and there?s room in the back for occasional use by my 2 kids ? I?ll be retaining my trusty but nearly worthless Mondeo estate for trips to the tip and family
• Max tow weight? Merc C250 TD. 7 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Hello, I have been offered my parent\'s 1997 Mercedes C250 turbodiesel auto. It has a towing capacity of 1500kg. How do Mercedes estimate towing capacity? Is it based on a hill start? How steep is the hill? I only want to recover a heavy boat up a pier with it, and tow 2 miles. Am aware

  My wife came home from WI and said she couldn`t get in the car! I discovered (by unlocking the driver`s door with the key) that as well as the driver door the opposite rear won`t unlock either. Also the windows no longer open, the wing mirrors don`t respond and the filler cap won`t unlock. Has

• Tyre advice please. 20 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Following on from the earlier tyre topic. I gather that Protyre and Micheldever are part of the same group and rang my local Protyre. I asked for prices for 4 tyres balanced, fitted with VAT and valves. They suggest ,for my old Maestro, either Firestone 590's £130(£120 at a push), or for £110

• Ego Integrity V Despair - car styling 1 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  can`t feel the pull yet? So that`s fine - you only have to stick it out for a few more decades and you might find yourself surrounded by motors of light and air - with wispy looks - like Sophia Loren and not a Nile catfish with that ugly gaping mouth and tiny portals of eyes AKA the rear windows
• Jaguar S-Type 2.7D (04/54) or MB S320CDI (Y/51/02) 22 Apr 2008 (Forum)

  This is a serious post by the way ... I was out cycling the yesterday near Worthing and it brought about a childhood memory. In the late 70's /early 80's my grandparents would take us to the coast for the day or weekend in their campervan (An old Bedford Dormobile) Does anyone remember a strange
• Mystery smoke - 1992 rover 827 v6 8 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  I?ve got a 1992 rover 827 v6 and it?s giving out white smoke (well steam really) at start up. This clears up and disappears completely after a few minutes. The classic explanation is that it?s the head gasket or a crack in the head and it?s time to rip the engine to pieces. However
