  • Octavia tyre speed rating 14 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    The car is a 1.9 Skoda Octavia TDI, max speed 113 mph (181 kph) I'm looking at replacing all four tyres, so I want to shop around. The required tyre size is 195/65/R15, and the current tyres are all 'V' rated, which goes up to 240 kph (The ratings are S=180, T=190, U=200, H=210, V=240) The Michelin web site suggests H rated, and I may well go for that, but not necessarily for Michelin tyres - V expensive and quite noisy by all accounts).

  • Focus gear ratios 19 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    A query for any Ford experts out there. What is the correct fifth gear mph/1000 rpm figure for the C-Max with a 1.8 petrol engine? On my wife's example it is around 20, which seems a tad low to me. I'd have expected something closer to 25.

  • Hyundai i30 (2007 - ) - Better than Golf AND Focus according to Autocar 7 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    One tester got out of the Focus swearing blind it was the Golf because of its weighty, solid feel. I thought I was going mad saying the S-Max I drove recently was as well made as any VW I've driven, but it seems if improved Ford quality is an illusion, I'm not the only one falling for it. I know Hyundai have had moments of brilliance before (with the Coupe mainly) but it's nice to see them properly challenging the "establishment". 3 grand cheaper than a Golf model for model too.
  • Built in Sat Nav overpriced? 8 Nov 2006 (Forum)
    Since then, the cost of sat nav units has plummeted together with all things electronic so you can get a NavMan in Tesco for under £100. However, if I want a sat nav in next year's Ford S Max, it is still going to cost £1500! That buys an awful lot of electronics these days. I appreciate that car manufacturers hope that a built in sat nav continues to have a certain cachet but I for one thing it should be included in the top of the range cars in the way that Honda do with their Exec Accords and CR-Vs.
  • MINI Cooper S - Car on HP, engine blew up! Still have a year left 16 Mar 2018 (Forum)

  • Ford Fiesta - Ecoboost engines 1 Dec 2017 (Forum)
    If anyone knows the detail of this information I'd be grateful for a resume', because a used Ford Ecoboost is one of the alternatives I'm thinking of looking at when I move on from the B Max. Cheers in advance.

  • Ford Focus Electric Window U/S 22 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    Hi, Have a 2001 Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec with 95000 miles on clock. Apart from fuel costs it has cost me pennies to run so am reluctant to part with it. During the last couple of months the driver?s electrically operated window has gotten slower and slower until it finally stopped working today.
