• Splilt antifreeze in engine. 27 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  While topping up my C-Max's coolant today, I accidentally spilt some onto the top of the coolant tank, which dripped down into the engine. It wasn't an enormous amount. Is this anything to worry about, or do I need to do anything about it like rinse it off?

• BMW 1 series 118d M Sport Auto - House buying predicament 3 May 2018 (Forum)
  April 29th this year I brought my BMW for cash as I had saved for the car I wanted (I wanted a auto BMW 1 series) I'm now having to make the very difficult decision whether to keep the BMW or P/X it for something more sensible like a Ford Fiesta Zetec S Black and get some cash back from it. This has got me thinking, has anybody else found themselves in my position?
• Do we need more 4x4 commercial vehicles? 15 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Vans seem to have been having particular trouble in these slippery conditions - whether they be rear-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. 4-wheel-drive versions of some vans are available - e.g. Ford Transit, VW T5 Transporter. Despite the extra purchase cost and running costs, having a few on the fleet could make all the difference in weather like we've had lately. The same goes for larger goods vehicles - a 4x4 two-axle 18 tonner would be able to keep going where 4x2's are defeated.

• Bodykit - spin-off thread 21 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Over the years motor manufacturers have been guilty of producing their own dubious styling mods on high-performance versions of their ordinary models - in effect the factory-built Kev-car. Think of those high double aerofoils on the back of some 80's fast Fords - was it the Sierra XR4i or the Mk1 Cosworth Sierra? What about the Rover Streetwise? Even Porsche have made some outlandish additions to some of their 911-based models. OK, these were genuine fast cars, but a 160mph dog's dinner is just as ugly when it's parked as a 95mph dog's dinner.
• Focus veering problem 15 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I had a motorway journey after and could move across the whole carriageway by holding the wheel centred. Anyone got any ideas. I am at a loss. It?s so annoying as before my car was perfect where steering handling was concerned. Cheers Andrew B

• Ford Fiesta - Insurance repair - reasonable time? 21 Feb 2019 (Forum)
  I haven't had an insurance repair before so, a bit new to me: not concerned if the garage say "It will be another "X" week(s)" or say something a bit more concrete - I am just concerned that the latest is a little open ended, while understanding they need to check things out, at what point could it be said "Surely that's long enough"
