• Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - Anyone driven an S-Type 2.7D? 5 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  As you'll see elsewhere I'm considering a new XF diesel, and one of the problems with ordering a car based on reviews is that you (obviously) haven't driven it. Now I understand the engine's the same as the one in the S-Type, so I wondered if anyone had driven one of these (and ideally a Merc E270CDi or 280CDi - cos I've got the 280CDi and a comparison would be great). If you have, what were your impressions of the engine in terms of flexibility and poke - specifically responsiveness when overtaking in "A road" situations?
• BMW etc model designation policy 10 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, I am getting a bit fed up with 318's having a 2.0l engine, C180's and C200's both being 1.8s, Saab 93 1.8t and 2.0t both being 2.0l. BMW 316's have been 1.6, 1.9 and 1.8 in that order!, 320's have been 2.0 then 2.2 if petrol though still 2.0 if diesel!

• \"Free\" tracking check 16 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  My wife drives the car most of the time, and it\'s quite possible she\'s kerbed it at some point. It\'s equally possible I have done the same, and forgotten about it. But is the suspension set up that sensitive that every single time i get a tracking check, something needs adjusting?
• Astra Elite CDTi S/S 5 Door Diesel - Replacement Third Party DPF for Vauxhall Astra 10 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  I currently own a 2013 Astra Elite CDTi S/S 5 Door Diesel  which is having issues with the Diesel Particle Filter (DPF). I've had it cleaned a couple of times and this seems to help for about 4-5 months but then it has issues again (even though I'm driving it on the motorway a fair bit).
• Ford S-MAX - S-Max 2.0 Diesel or Petrol? 4 Sep 2016 (Forum)
  Having 3 teenagers (almost - youngest is 12) in the family, I've pretty much settled on a 2006-2015 (the previous model) S-MAX Titanium X.  Would like to get as new as possible, buget allowing.   Question is, should I go for the 2.0 Diesel or the 2.0 petrol?   Have done the math with my average 9.5-10k anual mileage + road tax and the petrol is coming in at around £600 more per year to run over the diesel.
• FAO HJ&Mods - Illustrating threads with photos? 19 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  What are Mod`s and HJ`s rules or views on this? It turns out that I have 50 megs of space of my own with our ISP. Enough to put photo`s illustrating a thread online via Tinyurl. Typical photo`s would be 3.25mb and I wouldn`t want to mess about reducing the size and quality - as they would be going onto my own site.

• Ford S-MAX - Ford S-Max....what's the alternative?? 26 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  Am reluctant to buy one of these, as not an MPV fan, it looks a bit dated to me (despite the remodel), have been around ages, and there's a new model...
• Who\'s fault? (Motor Accident) 7 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  He chose to overtake the car but whilst overtaking, the car decided to pull back into the next entrance of the garage and clearly without checking blindspots or mirors, he crossed my father\'s path and despite his braking, they collided fairly heavily. Who\'s fault is it and why? Thanks.
• S Class Mercedes - is this madness? 12 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  Liability was admitted by the driver and agreed with the insurance companies. They for some reason gave me an S class at £300 and more A DAY! I reckon that has come to over £10k and £5K to fix ours and its worth at most £7,500. (Volvo V70 2008)

• Jaguar S type battery rundown 22 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  Should a 2000 model Jaguar S type be able to go longer than 8 days, fully alarmed without running the battery dead? If so, what do I need to say to a dealer who claims there are no problems with it? If not, what to do to avoid the problem?

• Are you at the leading or trailing edge? gadgets 29 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  Mature firmware was the thinking behind that - with the E71`s being not on the first version, unlike the E72`s. (It`s interesting to read the Nokia support forum about alleged E72 firmware issues) Then there were the hundreds of people in Meadowhall trying to get an Iphone 4 - just as we were buying the -two years in production - E71`s.
