  • Ford Escort (1993 - 2000) - 1998 1.6 exhaust blowing? 17 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    Hi all I have a S reg Ford Escort 1.6 16v petrol. The car has done 103500 approx miles and I use it as a run around for my work. Afew months back the exhaust started blowing, I took it to the mechanic who has been looking after my cars for years and after having a good look around the car informed that it was the middle bit of the exhaust that was blowing, it may last alittle longer as it wasn't blowing excessively but would need a new middle exhaust evenually, also the cat converter was falling apart but again it was not determental at the present time but would need sorting out before the next MOT.

  • Citroen C4 Picasso 5-st (2007 - ) - Seduced by Picasso 23 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    I had a C4 hatchback before the Saab and was very pleased with it, so.....why am I waking up in a cold sweat each day? I have read the reviews about it not being as sharp to drive as the S-Max or the Scenic, but I am 52 and not driving in a F1 race. I have read mixed reviews on the EGS, but I am comfy with it.....I got the hang of it within minutes. Maybe I can report back in a few weeks or a month?
