• 5 door hatchback under 10k 17 May 2018 (Forum)
  The Jazz is by far the most spacious, practical and versatile small hatchback. Makes you wonder how Ford can still get away with fitting crappy rear seatbacks that just flop down onto the cushions.
• Chevrolet axed in Europe ! 5 Dec 2013 (Forum)

  Now the misfire has returned twice in about 6 weeks. Each time cylinder 3's spark plug is fouled. It is black and has oily deposits on it. I changed the spark plug each time and misfire goes away for about 3 weeks. The engine is noisy, and has smoke coming out the exhaust.

• Worn Ford key 21 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  however the steering lock was a pig to get off, and I really did not want to break it just to get it home... with alot of swearing and fiddling we got it off and got the car home, only to find that the spare key worked fine, and the key was at fault not the ignition barrel, DOH! a wasted hour and a half! I have never liked fords, or their keys. At least it was cheap to fix, a new key costing less that an ignition barrel, and possibly a busted steering lock if my patience didn't hold out! Any body else had a problem with worn keys on Fords or other marques?

  Hi, Unfortunately, I had a low impact front collision in my VW Polo 2015 yesterday. Does anyone have experience with bumper repair / replacements? From the photos below, do you think I'll need a new bumper or could it be repaired? How much do local independent garages tend to charge for this work?

• `Tupped` by French behemoth in city street 23 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I was struck by the fragility of the human condition..the loneliness of sentience, despite friendships and the overarching brooding of impending eternity and non-existence. Despite our 120 collective years, that would likely be our only interaction. So what`s the point? Well, two things really. Firstly all this took place under the scrutiny of the city camera`s and she had not put a 30min (max) ticket on her motor. I watched front and back, for the appearance of the Stasi, that have now taken to wearing fleeces as a uniform in an attempt to blend in and creep up on you unnoticed.
• BMW E21 - distributor and poor running 30 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  do you think it?s possible that this closeness (probably only 5mm) between the metal surround of the cap and the leads is leading to the bad running? Any thoughts at all would be really appreciated ? I?m deeply confused?

  Hello, It'll 10 years this January since I've been driving my Ford Fiesta 1.25 MK7. I'm saving up money now, hoping to find a suitable replacement that would last me for another period of 10 years.

• Best Used 5-seat MPV? 17 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  Pefer petrol to diesel Don't need high top speed or amazing performance We keep our cars for about 8 years -- our current Ford C-max Style is 2007. We have been quite happy with it, so would go for one again possibly. We like a versatile vehicle which we can take our friends in -- so good legroom in the back for adults is important.
