  • Honda Stream (2002 - 2006) - Stream 2.0 i-VTEC - advice please 14 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    Car will do around 7500 miles per annum, transporting two children under three and associated paraphernalia. I know and love the 80's/90's/00's Civic, but I have no experience with this model or engine. Car-by-car suggests performance/handling are stronger points than outright practicality. Zafira or Picasso were also on the shortlist, and a younger example of either can be had for the same money as the Honda I'm sure.
  • Tyre fitted 'inside out'! 20 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    I have just noticed that a tyre (Dunlop SP30) bought from a local tyre fitter?s last week has ?INSIDE? and ?OUTSIDE? markings and sod?s law, as you might guess, has ensured that it?s been fitted ?inside out?. If that makes sense. There don?t seem to any rotation direction markings.
  • Audi 80 2.0E 1995MY 30 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    It sounds like an unbalanced shaft, effected by different road surfaces and there is not any judder through the steering wheel or when braking. It?s difficult to tell which side it?s coming from but think it?s the NS. Should I replace the NS inner CV joint (age & 105k mls), could it be the hub bearing although there isn?t any movement or perhaps the gearbox drive flange end?
  • Why can\'t I be left to think for myself? 1 Mar 2004 (Forum)
    Why can?t I? It seems wherever I have to steer or brake there?s a non-skid road surface to help me. To get me to ?behave? at junctions there are traffic islands, road markings and traffic signals, maybe together tending further towards confusion than helpfulness*.

  • Ban Red Meat! 9 Dec 2003 (Forum)
    Yesterday I watched a recording of a BBC program, Bodsnatchers, which was broadcast last Wednesday. It\'s a program about parasites. Towards the end of the program they mentioned Toxoplasmosis. Cats are a natural host to Toxoplasma, and they expel it\'s eggs in their faeces. The eggs then form into larvae and need to find their way back into a cat.

  • Worst main dealer ever 11 Feb 2003 (Forum)
    I have a completed invoice from him as well which I may use to formally complain to Skoda. But what should I do with the V5? No one\'s going to be interested in buying a car with someone else\'s stamp all over it! Comments welcome, Rick.
