• Mazda MX6 Heater Problem 15 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  The heater takes forever to start outputing heat. A few nights ago I was driving home and I noticed the temp gauge was aproaching max so I pulled to the side of the road and switched off, I turned the ignition back on so that I could watch the temp gauge. All of sudent the temperature started to drop rapidly and at the same time the heater started pumping heat into the car.
• Ferrari 348 10 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  My question is, in terms of 2 factors - pure driving experience and reliability, how do the 2 compare? I'd spend £15-17k on a 968 or max £28k on a 348. My other question is more out of interest - does anyone have any experience of replica ferraris - especially MR2 based ones? I'd love to hear a few points of view. Ben

• Focus electrical fault 18 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I noticed this morning that the courtesy light was flickering before I turned the headlights on. Also, a couple of times this morning, all my dials maxed out before going to zero, then returning to normal. Can anyone please shed some light on what's going on?
• Making a shortlist of compact autos 23 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  Semi-flash motor Reliability & good warranty Automatic (or better still tip-tronic) The cons are: I came to driving late and only have 1 year NCB so insurance group 14 is probably the max. I haven't got a garage so a ragtop convertable is out. My best guesses are Mercedes C Class Sports Coupe. BMW 316i compact SE. So these are the ones I plan to test drive. The Audi A3 is another option, but is this about to be replaced?

• Purchased a Corsa at auction 12 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  I purchased a 2015 Corsa Excite AC, 20k miles, 3 door petrol 1.4 89ps with metallic paint, FSH, one private owner, with inspection report for £6k. Same car at dealer was £7.5k. Car has most options but no Android/Apple carplay as this was introduced in 2016 and no parking sensors.
• ''Diesel'' Towing caravan 2 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  Am I correct in thinking that if I was to purchase a 2016 registration plate '66' diesel car: 1.) - It will be Euro 6 compliant, as this was brought in from September 2015, therefore avoiding some of the charges London etc are bringing in. 2.) - I will also avoid paying the flat rate £150 annual tax, as this only came in April 2017. Your thoughts would be much appreciated :)    
• Passat 1.6 DSG or 2.0L manual ? 19 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  I'm due to change my company car but only have a choice two models: Passat 1.6 DSG Business Passat 2.0L manual Business I like the idea of driving the DSG as I tend to do a 50/50 mix of town and motorway driving, but am slightly concerned that it may be underpowered when loaded up with the family, or not have enough 'grunt' to overtake on A roads. I'd be interested to have some feedback from anyone that currently drives the 2015 model.   Thanks
