  • Volvo S40 - Volvo S40 2.0D - Good Buy? 16 Mar 2012 (Forum)
     Previous owner was a company but not a lease company and, as above, the car looks and drives well. Engine is the 136BHP unit (I think it's a Ford engine but not 100% sure?). My alternative is an 09 plate i30 CRDi Premium with 14k miles, again 1 owner and full Hyundai history but of course there's the balance of their 5 year warranty.  Have had i30's before and they are value for money if niot exactly the most exciting car (and Volvo is??).
  • Volvo V50 (2004 - ) - V50. Is it any good?? 15 May 2009 (Forum)
    I am considering buying a used Volvo V50 2.0d, either S or Sport model. I currently run a V W Passat 1.9Tdi 100hp, which now has 167,000 miles on. I have not had a minutes trouble with the Passat. Prior to running the Passat I have run 3 Golfs, all having around 140,000 on them when I got rid and again I did not have a moments bother with any of them.
  • Audi A6 2.6SE - will not start 27 Jun 2006 (Forum)
    3 - checked the spark plugs & there is no spark at the plugs. 4 - Checked the ignition modules at the front of the engine, but still no spark So I'm presuming that the gadjet that sends the spark to the plugs isn't working - what module sends the spar to the plugs ? Could it be some sort of cut off switch ? - do the A6's have a hidden switch anywhere as the Fords do ?? What do you lot think that it could be ???
  • Help to decide what 'mans' car for me? 17 Jun 2006 (Forum)
    It really comes down to whether or not 99% of women would want one - if they do, I dont want it. Reasonable power is a must, preferably from a largish engine. I have a few ideas so far: Ford Capri 2.8 Rover 3500 Vitesse BMW 635i Merc 280CE? not sure about this one.. Mitsubishi Starion Toyota Celica Supra 2.8 Toyota Supra 3.0 Any other suggestions?
