• Jaguar S Type 3L Manual Gearbox Year 2000 - Jaguar S Type Misfire 26 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  My Jaguar S Type has developed a misfire; it appeared shortly after replacing the Radiator although this may not be related. The misfire only appears after the engine is up to temperature all seems ok up to this point.
• Car parallel of dog rejection Quiz 30 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Yes. This canine friend, no doubt loyal and faithful and believing itself to be safe in it`s `pack` was now about to be sold on as it was no longer aesthetically pleasing. It`s difficult to `get your head` away from the dog - and some would say `shallowness` of it`s owners, but personality is driving that.
• It`s dark - car engine - propshaft loose 25 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  It`s getting dark and you are in unfamiliar surroundings, the propshaft keeps jumping out. It wasn`t a problem when you set off this morning but now things are drifting a little - the sun goes down vertically and it`s dark within a few minutes.
• Toyota MR2 (1990 to 2000) - Falken tyres for MR2 Turbo 23 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  I need to replace the tyres soon, so I started checking out tyre reviews. I'd decided that I fancied trying FK452's on my 17's. I went to get a quote for tyres today and was quoted for ZE-912's. I asked about FK452's but was told that the ZE-912's had replaced them and that they were the better tyre. As far as I can tell from online resources both tires are currently sold and both for slightly different applications.
• Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - Anyone driven an S-Type 2.7D? 5 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  As you'll see elsewhere I'm considering a new XF diesel, and one of the problems with ordering a car based on reviews is that you (obviously) haven't driven it. Now I understand the engine's the same as the one in the S-Type, so I wondered if anyone had driven one of these (and ideally a Merc E270CDi or 280CDi - cos I've got the 280CDi and a comparison would be great). If you have, what were your impressions of the engine in terms of flexibility and poke - specifically responsiveness when overtaking in "A road" situations?
• BMW etc model designation policy 10 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, I am getting a bit fed up with 318's having a 2.0l engine, C180's and C200's both being 1.8s, Saab 93 1.8t and 2.0t both being 2.0l. BMW 316's have been 1.6, 1.9 and 1.8 in that order!, 320's have been 2.0 then 2.2 if petrol though still 2.0 if diesel!
• Oooh! Oooh! I found it! I found it! 2 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Mrs ND\'s approval - She\'s going to use it for work Storage - It\'s going to replace her car, therefore we have a space on the drive to fill :o) Wooohoooo!!!! Off to test drive one this afternoon, then on to the lease company it is.
• \"Free\" tracking check 16 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  My wife drives the car most of the time, and it\'s quite possible she\'s kerbed it at some point. It\'s equally possible I have done the same, and forgotten about it. But is the suspension set up that sensitive that every single time i get a tracking check, something needs adjusting?
• Ford Focus Mk2 Hatchback - Advice On Which Car To Buy 23 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  If anyone has either of these engines of this model please let me know what you think is best. I really am in two minds and cant decide what to do. I have even looked at Fiesta Zetec S 1.6Tdci as they dont have the DPF if im correct in saying this. I woud happily take the 1.6 petrol but dont know how good they are on fuel!   Any help would be much appreciated, Thank you Mike
• Jaguar XE - Extended test drive - Petrol 2L (240PS) 27 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  I'm half way through a 24 hour test drive of a Jaguar XE S - the 2L petrol 240PS version. So far so good.  I'm generally impressed with the quality of the materials used in the cabin and the way it performs on the road.  The engine (currently a Ford sourced unit until Jag's own petrol version comes out - 2016 maybe?)

• Astra Elite CDTi S/S 5 Door Diesel - Replacement Third Party DPF for Vauxhall Astra 10 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  I currently own a 2013 Astra Elite CDTi S/S 5 Door Diesel  which is having issues with the Diesel Particle Filter (DPF). I've had it cleaned a couple of times and this seems to help for about 4-5 months but then it has issues again (even though I'm driving it on the motorway a fair bit).

• FAO HJ&Mods - Illustrating threads with photos? 19 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  What are Mod`s and HJ`s rules or views on this? It turns out that I have 50 megs of space of my own with our ISP. Enough to put photo`s illustrating a thread online via Tinyurl. Typical photo`s would be 3.25mb and I wouldn`t want to mess about reducing the size and quality - as they would be going onto my own site.

• Who\'s fault? (Motor Accident) 7 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  He chose to overtake the car but whilst overtaking, the car decided to pull back into the next entrance of the garage and clearly without checking blindspots or mirors, he crossed my father\'s path and despite his braking, they collided fairly heavily. Who\'s fault is it and why? Thanks.
• S Class Mercedes - is this madness? 12 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  Liability was admitted by the driver and agreed with the insurance companies. They for some reason gave me an S class at £300 and more A DAY! I reckon that has come to over £10k and £5K to fix ours and its worth at most £7,500. (Volvo V70 2008)
