• Big up Andrew Moorey !! 4 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  Sorry to lapse into Max Power speak but the result of my earlier thread entitled VW Golf Hassles is not a blown head gasket but a broken oil cooler. Mr Moorey of Tune Up Ltd. was the only one to suggest such a possibility and therefore deserves a round of applause

• Just for fun II 1 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  They’ve a real passion for cars with the sweet Mk I MX5, storming final RX7 Turbo and quirky Xedos from the late 80’s into the 90’s and the later post Ford era range, all of which are a pleasure to own as long as you avoid the diesels which for some reason Mazda just can’t get right. No the firm I’d pick is Peugeot.
• 09 Ford Focus estate 1.6 TDCi Zetec 109bhp - Intermittent engine stutter 31 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  Bought this car just over a year ago, 1 previous company driver, little over 80k at the time with full Ford service history, showing average MPG of just under 50mpg back then. I managed to get that up to around 52mpg for quite a while, had it seviced (independent garage belonging to a friend) in line with stated schedule (Air filter looked like the one fitted by the factory when it was removed, go Ford dealers) and the mpg improved a little more to around 54mpg.
