• Audi A4 All Road - Audi TDi engine 26 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  A friend of mine has a newish A4 Estate All Road Automatic, and says he finds the diesel nothing like as responsive as the previous 2 litre petrol he had on an A6.  Anyone know anything about the 3.0 TDi?

• Volvo D5 with Geartronic? 3 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  - Anyone got any experience of driving the Volvo V70/S60/V50 with the D5 engine and a Geartronic automatic gearbox? I didn't think that diesel torque matched well with an auto box? Is the D5 worth a lot more than the alternative 2.0D lump I can get in a V50? Thanks, N.
• best Focus engine? 4 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  In the Ford Focus, which is the best engine to have. I'm assuming you automatically ditch the 1.6, so a toss up between the 1.8 and the 2.0? In struggling to sort a car out for my wife, we had a drive in a 02 2litre today and I thought it was a bit rough and noisy when revved.
• Auto Renault struggles after idling 28 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I've got a P reg, automatic Renault Laguna 3.0 v6, when waiting in traffic or at lights when I pull away the car struggles briefly then is ok. It's as if the acceleration doesn't kick in straight away or the brake is stuck - any ideas what it could be?
• Primera Air Con 2 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I have the factory manual for the P11 - 144 model (1999 - 2002), but this is of no use as it shows a fully automatic climate control, where mine is the basic manual system

• Help, climate control, Fiat Ulysee 2.0EL 11 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  Help - more information on normal functioning of climate control in Fiat Ulysee (identical system to Peugeot 806). Should the climate control switch itself on to automatic every time the engine is started (regardless of whether or not the climate control unit was previously switched off)?
• Diesel Autos 1 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  Are there any others ? If not, is there just no call for them or is the combination of a diesel engine and an automatic gearbox just a bad mix ? Robin
• Peugeot 306 door locks 29 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  Can anyone give advice on the following. When using the electronic door locking system on the remote, sometimes the doors lock and automatically unlock. Repeating the process immediately doesn't help but waiting a couple of minutes usually rectifies the problem. Is it something to do with the solenoids? Is it easy to repair? Any advice appreciated.
• Help Required with New Car Options Please 23 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  As I am up and down the motorway caring for both elderly parents and ferrying them to medical appointments it is vital that I now have a reliable, economical, practical 5-door car. I also need an automatic as I have developed a form of arthritis (fully automatic I may add, none of those wretched semi-automatics which are jerky and horrible to drive in my experience).  The contenders have been reduced from a long list of over 20 down to 4 cars, Honda Jazz EX (2011), Nissan Note Tekna, Toyota Prius T-spirit and Honda Civic; we already have one of these latter as a lease vehicle which has about 11 months to go so obviously I am familiar with this one.
• Jaguar XF - BMW 5 series 2011 Manual or Jaguar XF 2011 20 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  I test drove Jaguar XF 2012 2.2 but wasn't very impressed , may be due to the auto shift - it didn't involve me as much as I would love to; tried test driving BMW 520d M Sport manual and loved it. So the question is more around manual vs automatic, I love driving and I go on driving trips to Switzerland/France/Spain/Scotland from London, so the question is will I love automatic as I get used to it or if driving pleasure is the priority, is manual the one to go for ?

  SWMBO has an automatic Toyota Yaris Verso which she loves to bits; as it appears does everyone who owns one - it has come top of just about every owner satisfaction survey and Which just gave it as a 'best buy' for a second hand car.
• Replacement car advice 16 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  But maybe we should go for something else. Got to be automatic, with a reasonable size engine and boot, but what about a Focus, or a Jazz? Or maybe we should pay a bit more and get a newer car (the Almera was bought when 6 months old). We have a hire car provided, and its a Toyota Prius.
