• Was diesel cheaper than petrol 28 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Is it my imagination, but did diesel used to be cheaper than petrol in summer and slightly more expensive in winter when people bought heating oil? I was looking forward to cheaper fuel in summer. Oh well. On my 3rd Citroen. Saxo, Xsara, C5.

• Any - Driving with front fog lights in good visibility 28 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  Can anyone tell me why it is currently fashionable for about 30% of all cars to drive at night in perfect visibility with front fog lights blazing? Does it make the car go faster? Is it suggestive of a more agressive profile? Personally I am sick of it - especially when, like tonight, the idiot follows so closely that the fog lights disappear from the rear view mirror.
• Winter storage of my convertible - Advice please! 30 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  The paint on the whole car is going to be getting some very special polishing from a Porsche trained paint guy very soon too. Do I store it with the roof up or down, windows open or closed and do I used a cotton car cover or a breathable outdoor car cover additionally?

• Tyre Pressures 1 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Can anyone enlighten me to the reason why most cars tyre pressures are more in the rear tyres than the front? I would have thought it would have been the other way around as the engine is, in most cars anyway, at the front and therefore more weight needs to be kept up.

• Skoda Yeti - Front indicator replacement, rank bad design 19 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  I am staggered! Skoda want my car for a whole day to replace a single front indicator bulb. They tell me that the bumper, grille and the relevant headlight have to be removed first. It may be under warranty but this is plain madness.

• Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 99 2.0 Front suspension collapse 3 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  110bhp diesel: with a distinct crack, both sides of the front suspension of this car seemed to collapse, simultaneously and at low speed. The engine stalled and would not re-start. Suspension on both sides appears to be down on the stops. Suspension on one side giving up I can understand, but both sides at the same moment?
