  I thought this was going to be a winner. Just read a report, that its based on the SLK!& drives nothing like it looks. £28,000 for a NEW,OLD car,? I don't think so. So I'll carry on raving about the Rx8!! VB

• How big a risk not to change a cambelt yet ? 18 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  The car is now 8 years old and only 4,000 miles on from the last cambelt change and it is according to VW 4 years or 40,000 mile  recommendations, ready for another replacement. Before someone tells me to sell it because I dont use it enough the car is worth far,far more to me than the price a 8 year old car would fetch.There is not a scuff mark on anywhere it is almost in the condition it came out of the showroom when first bought.

• Car Ventilation vs Pollution 13 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  On my drive/crawl into work each day I often find myself moving the recirculate air slider so that I don't have to breath the fumes of the car in front when stationary - problem is my car then mists up. Is there any way to solve this problem? Does a ventilation system filter air (I don't think it does in my old, non A/C-equipped car!) Do any cars solve this problem?
