  • Alfa 147 Selespeed 10 Aug 2001 (Forum)
    Out of interest is this from personal experience or has a reader sent in that conclusion? The reason I ask is that I recently back to back test drove the 2 litre Selespeed against the Ford Focus 2l Zetec, VW Beetle and a hot Fiat Punto. All were given a rigorous and demanding test drive over the same varied conditions. The Ford Focus is generally touted as THE class leader, but I have to say, the 147 outperformed it.

  • Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 06 2.0 front wheel problems, possibly bearings. 30 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    Hi there, I have a scenic 2.0 Turbo, recently, there has been a rumbling noise from the front end when moving. The N/S front wheel was being scrubbed on the outside. I swapped the two front wheels round N/S onto O/S and vice versa, as i believed that the scrubbing was being caused by a buckled alloy. Much to my annoyance, the N/S wheel, now with the O/S wheel on it, is scrubbing the same and there is no difference at all in the rumbling noise, i suspect a wheel bearing may be the culprit, any ideas?
  • That insurance ad 5 May 2003 (Forum)
    Am I the only one who\'s driven nuts by the Direct line insurance ad? You know, chummy and girlfriend are driving in the beetle when she asks how much he\'s saved on renewing his car insurance. Ooh about 10%. That\'s a lot, you must have lots of spare cash, says she.

  • "Stupid car" it`s run down the hill on it`s own. 26 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    So, given that it`s now becoming normal for cars to run away on hills when the brakes fail to hold - that seems to put more responsibility on car makers. So what`s the solution? How about a `sprag` that locks pins into the drums or discs on application of the handbrake - thereby removing the pressure/friction element out of handbrakes holding.
