      2) Honda Jazz 1.3 CVT 2015-17 - CVT isn't sealed for life, so shouldn't be too difficult to change. Very spacious on the inside, small on the outside. Engine is (non turbo). Driving position is up front. Cons: Ugly as sin. I'm worried that 1.3 is too small for motorway driving.

  • Any - Stop-Start – is it “intelligent”? 7 Oct 2018 (Forum)
    However, today I made a short urban journey and noticed that the Stop-Start activated whenever I was stopped in traffic, even though the engine could have scarcely warmed up. Do Toyota engineers not realise that the S/S needs to be programmed not to activate until the engine is red-hot as HJ’s advice would seem to suggest, or does the action of the S/S indicate that the DPF is not regenerating at the time?

  • Spanners aquired from the road surface - and you 24 Sep 2008 (Forum)
    (Road spanners, revisited) I have several open ended and ring spanners found in this way. It started in the late 60`s - you know how it is, that glint of silver, seen in the gutter or crown of the road. One of them is top quality with four small notches carefully ground into it as an identifier. Still see them sometimes, but modern traffic means it`s trickier to get them and then there`s image to consider - a scraggy lizard like old bloke scrabbling in the centre of the road for another 10mm spanner.
  • Best old diesel auto 4 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    Id prefer a saloon but an estate will do. I also dont want a shed, so its likely that whatever I buy is going to be 80's or even late 70's possibly rather than a worn out 90's model plus I prefer the simplicity of earlier cars. I have a few ideas in mind but wondering what the BR would suggest? My starting point is the Merc 250 D, late 80's.
  • Bad service from Citroen 4 Dec 2002 (Forum)
    Told I\'d hear this morning. 1pm today rang them again. They can\'t receive France\'s email which has been routed to Citroen\'s Head Office in Slough, because Crawley\'s email is down so they\'re waiting for I.T. to sort it. HAVE THEY NOT HEARD OF PICKING UP THE TELEPHONE AND TALKING TO EACH OTHER????
