  Happy Birthday: Jaguar XJ40 7 Oct 2016 (News)
  In many ways, it was. It brought in new technology such as ABS and Jaguar’s now-trademark J-gate gear selector, while the height of Eighties technology meant it also inherited some slightly more ‘of its era’ elements, such as a liquid crystal instrument cluster and dot matrix warning lamp display.

  More Cheap Cars at Auction Today 17 Aug 2007 (News)

  Used Van Buying Guide: Astravan 2006-2013 20 Jan 2016 (News)
  Before buying ask that it’s plugged in to a diagnostics machine to check for any faults, doing so will show up any issues that unscrupulous sellers are trying to hide. If the gearstick is difficult to shift through its gate then there’s an issue with the main gearbox bearing. It’s tricky to get at to repair, so you could be looking at a bill in excess of £500. Listen for any whining on gears, if there’s any noise, or chattering then it points to problems with the dual mass flywheel.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 13-6-2015 13 Jun 2015 (News)
  section=good/   Interfering friend Recently we gave a lift to a friend in our 3-year old Hyundai ix20 automatic with a ‘smart key’. After driving for about 30 minutes, we made a brief stop to open a gate and the engine stalled. Pushing the start button worked and we continued for approximately another half hour until suddenly the engine cut out again without warning. Unfortunately we were blocking someone’s drive and there was a delay of 20 minutes before we managed to start the engine again and complete our journey.
