• RX7 buying guide help 2 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Hello All I'm thinking about buying a older RX7, maybe an 83,84,85 model and wonder if anyone has had any dealings with them or can give me advice about them. I know the models changed in 85 onwards and is it a much better car than the series than the previous years? I also know that the engines can have problems in over heated but in terms of cost to run and relaibility anyone reccomend a particular model and so forth?
• Honda Civic 27 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  Saw a Honda Civic 'Vision' in local dealer's the other day - seems to have a lot of kit for the asking price ABS, AirCon, Airbags, CD player, Electric windows, Metallic paint, heated mirrors - all for £9995 (before discount) with a 3 year warranty. To me this looks like a good deal - is there a better new car buy for this sort of money? Would this be a good bet for someone who does mainly motorway miles with some town driving or is the 1.4 engine not up to the job?
• astra 53 burning smell/hot o/s front 27 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  On Saturday did a 25 mile journey and there was quite a bit of smoke coming from around the os front wheel, clutch had gone so had a new one fitted yesterday. Went to france today and coming back on the M1 we were stuck in a lot of traffic so start/stop alot, then we noticed the burning smell again and saw a little smoke, later realised the os front brake is sticking, car is heavy to pull away so I went to a slight hill when we got home and car barely rolled!

• Self driving. - Non skilled driving 1 Nov 2023 (Forum)
    But this is not about me, but I do wonder if those who advocate electronic assistance still have the ABILITY to drive ?   It will never happen but, I would love to put those with modern cars that do everything, into an older car where, if the driver does not do it then it aint going to happen.  From forgetting to turn the heater mode to windscreen only and leaving the windows slightly open initially to help clear the windscreen, to the more complicated thing of getting the vehicle at the right speed for the corner, in the right gear.

• Any - Do three door cars have bigger front doors? 23 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  If this is the case then does Ford have to build different shells for the cars as the pillar will be aligned differently depending on the number of doors the car has? Is it just the Ford Focus that has different sized front doors who do other manufacturers do the same? I’m interested to know if a three door car will be better for me to get in and out of as I’m 6’ 4” and do have trouble of getting in and out.

• Front Carpets are Wet-Mondeo 96 1.8TD 6 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  The front carpets are wet and the car stinks. I initially shampooed everything, dried everything and stuck a bowl of white vinegar in the car to get rid of the smell. Would anyone have any ideas where this water may be coming from?
• Thanks for the screen wash - car in front 23 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Handy when you get twin plumes of windcreen wash from the car 25 metres or so in front isn`t it? A free screen wash, just flip the wipers on. You almost wish you had set things up like that yourself for the 2 metres from the bumper tail-gators. Of course, a single jet angled from the back washer - like a dog cocking it`s leg - would be just too obvious, I guess..
• GB sticker on number plate 7 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  (Driving in France) The rear number plate on my car has the usual small blue GB band on the left hand side, but the front one has nothing at all. Having noticed that all other cars with these have them on the rear AND front, I'm wondering if I'm required to stick one on the front plate too.
