  • Toyota Verso impressions and ruminations 10 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    My highest cruising speed equates to about 2,500 rpm in 6th, which is the same as the Volvo in 5th but quite a bit higher than even a 1.8D S-Max. Didn't try the audio system. Visibility. Generally very good, and would be excellent with proper glass in the windows. Wipers do an excellent job of clearing the whole screen - no gap in the middle as can be the case with overlapping MPV wipers.
  • 306 406 HDi timing belt / pulley tick 22 Jan 2006 (Forum)
    This is a tow-in, not drive-in, job once you hear it. -- Note:1 I've had lots of pulley failures in taxi fleets, mainly 406's, but 306's now showing same trait as they approach the 1st belt change. Pug HQ has been insisting crank pulley change at belt change for how long now? Note:2 Most stories I've heard on this problem usually involve the 1st garage getting a bad name for belt because the customer invariably goes elswhere, pays same again £80 for pulley and poo-poohs original fitter.
  • For Volvoman 14 Mar 2003 (Forum)

  • Need a new to me car 1 Sep 2024 (Forum)
    Having had diesels all my life, and towing caravans and driving horseboxes since in my mid 20's, now find the prospect of getting a 'new to me' car - especially a petrol one. We don't like an uncomfortable ride, but cannot afford luxury and MPG is important to us.  However, as we take our grandson around with us a lot we do not want a car with no back end.
