• 7 Year Warranty 30 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Kia are giving their latest car a 7 year engine and gearbox warranty with 5 year for the rest of the vehicle. Seems quite impressive, apparently it will be applied to new Kia's as they are introduced/replaced. ( See car by car breakdown entry, this website.
• What is it with this site? 1 May 2010 (Forum)
  HJ's Daily Telegraph column this morning refers readers to the Car-By-Car Breakdown feature here.  It is long gone. I have never come across a site with so many problems.  Why couldn't HJ just leave it alone?

• Toyota MR2 (The original one) 9 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Apart from the car by car breakdown info- does anyone have any additional info on them - in terms of reliability, potential classic status. How much would a good T bar cost ?
• Car recalls Question 1 May 2005 (Forum)
  Can anyone explain, looking at Honest johns car by car breakdown and looking at the vehicle recalls. Is there like a set time period where you can take your vehicle to be repaired under a recall notice or does it depend on manufacturer? Scott
• Audi 2.5 TDI Multitronic 10 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I'm thinking about buying one of these, and I noticed that the Car-By-Car breakdown mentions a dealer TSB to replace the clutch. What does this mean? Will Audi pay for this? Should I avoid cars that haven't had this done? Thanks
• Civic or Corolla or Almera 8 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  I am looking for a second car run about and can't decide which one - any views? Civic or Corolla or Almera? Looking at HJ's car by car breakdown the Almera looks hard to beat (reliability and longevity are my key concerns).
• Toyota Sega 9 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Just caught a glimpse of one of these, which does not feature in the Car-by-Car Breakdown. Does anyone know about this model? It is a very neat little coupé-style car with two doors which are glass to all the way over the roof and may be gull-wing.

• C-Note 2005 16 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Found on the car by car breakdown on this website while searching for the new 2005 Almera. However could not find it anywhere else including a google search. Anyone have any info about this car?? Or is the C-Note just a concept model ,not a specific production car??
• Mazda 3 1.6d - Loose Connection on Injectors 10 Aug 2014 (Forum)
    I must admit this sort of thing makes you wander if you have bought the wrong car, In 25 years of car ownership, this is my 6th car, I have never had a breakdown or near breakdown. Should I just write this off as 'one of those things ?...I know some mazda diesels have been troublesome, but I think this 1.6 was meant to be pretty good, and the Auto bild report on them was excellent.

• Vauxhall Meriva Design 25 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, Reading the car by car breakdown it says. 'Design' sacrifices some of these features for alloy wheels. Does anyone know exactly what it misses? Wife currently wants one, but there are none local to look at and compare at the minute.
• Nissan Note Advert 16 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Does anyone know how to disable the annoying advert on the Car by Car Breakdown on this site? I have blocked all pop ups and tried closing the ad but it keeps coming and wont go away. It is making the content of the page unusable.
• Volvo Recall? 2 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  From the Car-by-car Breakdown: "September 2004: Worldwide recall of 500,000 S60s, V70s, XC70s and S80s built 1999 - 2001 because radiator fan could overheat and start and engine compartment fire." Anybody got any more info on this?
• Land Rover Defender and Disco 15 May 2003 (Forum)
  Just had a look at Honest John's Car-by-Car breakdown on the Land Rover marque. Can some one explain to me like I'm stupid why anyone buys these things, I just dont get it?
• Vauxhall Omega 3.0 19 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  A friend of mine is considering a Vauxhall Omega 3.0, N-reg with 100K on the clock. Any opinions on strengths, weaknesses and things to look out for? I'll check out the Car-by-Car Breakdown for him, but personal views are more than welcome
• AutoAid renewal invitation..... 3 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  Gone up a fiver from last year. Was £43.31 - now £48.31. Still very reasonable if you take two cars plus you and the Mrs. into account. There's always someone to answer the phone in the office (in Romford) as well as on the breakdown line and the terms and conditions aren't especially onerous and although it's many years since I used them I've no reason to think they wouldn't sort me out if the need arose.
• Ford C-MAX - Recovering costs incurred by faulty fuel filter 18 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  I recently suffered a car breakdown which was subsequently identified as being caused by a faulty fuel filter fitted during an annual service a couple of weeks before. As I had no breakdown cover (I know, I know), I had to sign up with the AA on the spot in order to get towed home - not an insignificant cost.
