• Cheap Channel Crossings 30 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  I really like the tunnel, don't know much about deals on ferries but am very flexible if it'll save me £££s And what about booking two single journeys at special day rates rather than being fleeced for a week long booking? What are the pitfalls of this? Thanks Lee -- Without bills, magazines and junk mail, there is no mail

• Top Gear AM Vantage video 12 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  I was looking on Youtube for a test the TG team did, as part of series of supercars, a few years ago, where they proclaimed the 80's Vantage the best supercar ever made. Couldn't find it, but did find this one which is also quite good: ://youtube.com/watch?v=P9-S1E2kguM (I seem to remember something about bandwidth leaching, so taken the http off the start, hope that sorts it out.)

• Yaris rear wiper 13 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Mrs. S6's Yaris needs a new rear wiper blade. Both a branch of a national chain, and local 'corner shop' motor factor tell me it's a dealer only supply. The problem is the local Toyota dealer - we had a long running dispute with them, and I'm reluctant to let them have a penny of my money.

• Glow plugs Mondeo 18 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  On starting from warm there is no problem. At all other times the engine runs fine. How do I determine which plug(s) may be faulty? Once determined is it easy to replace them and do I need any special tools and are there any special precautions or tips anyone can offer? Thanks in anticipation.

• Passat alarm 12 May 2006 (Forum)
  Morning all Dont know if anyone can help. My VW Passat 130bhp 2.0L S alarm works fine in all respects, however when I sent the alarm there is no audable warning that the alarm has been activated, can this be changed or is the alarm set up this way in the factory, the reason I ask is that I just want the extra peace of mind that the alarm has been set/activated.

• Subaru Legacy and Outback (1990 - 2004) - 06 2.0 RE - Cam belt or chain 9 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I know the earlier boxer engines fitted to the Legacy were belt cam driven, but does anybody know if the 2006 165 bhp 2 litre quad cam motor uses a belt or chain driven cam?? I have checked out Subarus website and H.J`s FAQ on this subject, where there is no reference at all for Subaru, so I am assuming they are belt driven but hope I may be wrong.

  if you are in any way annoyed at being robbed of your money and even your livelihood and are fed up of seeing idiot footballers get away with drink driving because they "need the car for work" and have £5000 a day briefs then look at www.speed-trap.co.uk/Accused_Home/Accused_Home.htm my wife has 2 possible sp30's on the way and we are doing our best on a DIY defence. and before you start we are safe drivers and do NOT need to hear "if you didnt break the limit well..."
• Peugeot 307 strange climate control 6 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  My wife has one of these on hire for the day - HDi S with climate control. Stuck it on auto and 'Lo' last night as it was 23 degrees and very humid. It gave out cold air, but when we went round a corner (i.e turning from traffic lights) the thing gave out a real blast of very warm air which lasted for a few yards after straightening up.
