• Shuttle 2.3LS - Honda 17 May 2014 (Forum)
  How long can I - should I - keep an old Honda? This is a T-reg, so 15 years old now, but it's immaculate and goes beautifully, though it burns a bit of oil. It does local short runs 11 months of the year, but every summer we take it on a European road trip, and cover around 1000 miles in a month.
• 2008 Peugeot 308 - 'Expert advice' Peugeot 308 cambelt life 13 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  I do wonder if HJ, who should know better, is actually writing this advice which might once have applied to car built during the last century.   If you google 'mytimingbelt.com'  you will see that Peugeot has caught up with our 12 yr old Ford Focus which advised a change 2 yrs ago. [not done].

• FIAT Punto - Power steering light on the dashboard 26 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  The power steering light appeared while driving so I swapped the power steering motor with one from a scrap yard and fully charged the battery (which is around 2 years old). I then drove the car 4 or 5 times and it was working fine. When I turned the key this morning the light is back on and the steering is heavy. Any ideas what else I can try?? The battery is a Yuasa and is only 2 years old so I don;t think that's faulty.

• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - Room in rear seats 28 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I'll be going on holiday shortly and need to book a hire car. I need to get two child seats (one 4 year old and one 1 year old) in the back, and still have room for an adult in the back seat. I'm about to book a standard 5-seat Scenic (non-Grand), and just wondered if there will definately be enough room in the back for the adult in the middle with two child seats on the outsides?

  The car's showing it's age now too, so might the Insurer just right it off even after a small dent? Is there a somewhere I can check the current value just as a rough guide? Many thanks for any comments and help for this old geezer.
• Jaguar XK and XKR (2006 - ) - Radio aerial 28 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  type ones on the rump. To be honest, I had noticed this style of aerial before on the DB7 and the old XK, also on the MR2 and thought it odd. Even my old BMW had the aerial in the rear window. What on earth are Jaguar and AM playing at. It makes a lovely looking car look ridiculous. Does anyone have any idea why they do this ?
• buying Passat 23 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I have an 83k mile TDI 130 Passat estate and am considering replacing it with a new or newer model.With regard to a brand new model I am looking at putting down a deposit of around £4k and financing the rest via a PCP and have my eye on the TDI 140 SE estate.Can anyone suggest what sort of deal I ought to be looking at here in terms of price for the car and apr for the finance? An alternative is a nearly new old shape model: I have found a < 1 year old TDI 130 sport estate with less than 10k on the clock priced around 14k.Is this a good deal or would I be better buying the new model?
• BMW 5 series Dash board pixels problem 26 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I have recently discovered that I am one of many 5 series (E39) owners with the dash board pixels disappearing after a short time. My car showed signs at 3 years old. Now it is 4 years old the on board computer is ilegible. New units are over £500. BMW have been known to offer some good will out of warranty but not too much. In the USA they apparently replace free of charge.
• Carte blanche 21 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Well, not entirely, but number one son has finally decided to buy a car, having resisted until the ripe old age of 24. He has a wife and a forthcoming infant, and would like some advice on suitable transport. I have my own views, but as these are obviously based on limited experience, it would be nice to know what you all feel.
