• Ford Escort (1993 - 2000) - 98 1.6 snapped spring and creaking noise. 25 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Also the noise is also apparent when turning the wheels with the front of the car on axle stands. The noise appears to be comming from the o/s, this afternoon I was replacing the nearside wishbone and found that the n/s spring has snapped up near the top. Everything on the o/s seems to be fine. So questions. 1) Could the creaking noise be because the o/s spring is taking extra weight?

• Trailer - Do I need operators licence to tow trailer ? 13 Nov 2020 (Forum)
  So I read from the Gov.uk website that I  need an operators licence just to tow this trailer, not only that but need to upgrade my licence, that;s not so bad, but to have an operators licence you need an operators centre of operations!  No wonder so many drive inadequate luton vans! These vans only take 1 tonne max, they are rubbish.

• Er..hoping for advice. - Used 7 Seater for £8k-£9k (with usable 3rd row?) 10 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  My optimistic wishlist includes an occasional-use 3rd row which can fit rapidly growing teenagers over the next few years (only 12 now but growth becoming measured in MPH). Anyone have any opinions? Looking at Galaxy, S-Max, Grand Scenic, 5008, Verso, Mazda 5 and, well, anything really.

• Cold weather makes havoc of fuel economy 9 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  My S-Max (diesel auto) has averaged 33.4mpg since the day it arrived with 11,000 miles on about three years and 29,000 miles ago.  I reset the trip computer when it arrived and after a week or so, it settled down to 33.4mpg and has not moved from that unless I have done a very long day of motorway driving which has pushed the average up by a couple of notches, only for it to drop again within a couple of days of regular urban use.

• Why is it so desirable to own a VW? 26 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Take the Golf for example: In a basic form, the Ford Focus is better. The Golf only gets good from Gt Tdi's, GTi 150 Turbos, V5's and V6's upwards. VW has some good engines, granted: But I've so many friends that have nothing but serious faults and quality issues.
