  • Jaguar XF 3.0D S 275 bhp - Confirming the Correct Discs, Pads and Wear Sensor 13 Aug 2023 (Forum)
      I am going to replace the front and rear discs and pads on my 2015 X250 XF 3.0D S - it has 355mm discs on the front as I believe all facelift (2012 - 2015) X250 3.0D S models had.

  • Ford B-MAX - Window closing & re-opening 18 May 2014 (Forum)
    I purchased a new B-Max Ford 4 door end September 2013 and within a matter of only a few weeks had a problem with rear window closing and then re-opening.   As I left a supermarket car park and pressed the opening switch for the driver door window (a multiple switch cluster on my driver door) to enable me to insert the exit ticket I must have inadvertently activated the offside rear window which of course opened.
  • Oh no! Petrol into Diesel 28 Apr 2014 (Forum)
     Long day (getting up at 0130 UK time) and getting to bed at 22.30.   Went to get fuel just now and put 62l of unleaded into the S-Max which has the TDCi engine.  Drove 0.5 mile and engine cut out.  I knew as soon as it happened what I had done. RAC coming to the rescue at a cost of £199.  Doh!
  • Renault Scenic (2009 - ) - HJ Road Test 19 Apr 2009 (Forum)
    Does the new Scenic have a spare wheel (even just a spacesaver) or do the folding rear seats condemn it to a can of gunk and compressor like the S-Max? C4 Grand Picassos (without air suspension) manage a spare.
  • Model demise? 2 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    Its an 04 and it might be time to have another one. But, has anyone heard when it will cease production? I know the S Max looks good and I wouldn't have two seats in the house, but have you seen the luggage cover position? Thieves look here please! The Alhambra is still the best for me. But would the purchase of a dying model be a sound move?

There is some sort of petrol or chemical smell in the c-max, the wife says it smells lie petrol. When I push the button for air re-circ, the smell disappears.
