• Big cars - why would you need one? 3 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Get a medium-sized estate - and more practical anyway. Big family? Need an MPV. Obese? The seats are pretty much the same size - and the A8's are short on thigh support. So it's an ego trip then.
• Mid-90's Merc E-class coupe? 20 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  I'm looking to spend about £8-9k. I don't want something run-of-the-mill, I'd prefer something a bit special. My eye was recently caught by a Merc E320...
• shaky road wheel - Pug 306 11 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  My friend seems to think this is a wheel bearing problem but I have been told that a wheel bearing makes noise when it\'s faulty. So if it\'s not that does anybody know what else it could be?
• Removal of Alternator - Astra 1.7TD 1 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I\'ve been quoted by a VX dealer for \'best case an hour, worst case an hour and a half\' but that\'s a bit vague for me and seems a long time. I\'ve been told by someone local that it\'s possible to have an alternator off and back on again within 20 mins. Are the VX dealer trying to rip me off (aside from their £60/hour labour rate) or do you think that an hour to an hour and a half is fair enough?
• Possible dead cylinder head gasket? 18 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  What would be involved in changing the gasket and how much should it cost? Is it going to fail expensively at any time soon? What\'s causing the bubbling noise? Has anyone got any other advice? Many thanks, Nick
• Renault Radio 20 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  The Laguna is fitted with a Radio contol thing, on the steering column, which means you never have to take your hands of the steering wheel to control it (I\'m sure you get the picture) and also the actual cd player doesn\'t have a display, it\'s on the top of the dash (like on vectra\'s).....Would stereos bought today be compatiable with these as I\'d like to keep these features. 2. reading through these forums, what does SWMBO mean????

• About Time Too! 8 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  The Government is to analyse thousands of crashes involving heavy lorries to discover why they are involved in so many crashes on Britain?s motorway network.? Why bother? Any motorway user can tell the Government that they are driven suicidally close to the vehicle in front." Given the (on average) more serious consequences when lorries are involved this can't come soon enough - let's hope no "political correctness" gets in the way of a thorough look at the role of foreign trucks and drivers!

• Converting an automatic to manual ? 22 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  I know that current autos may prove problematic as all the electronics may be linked. I was thinking more of late 80's or early 90's cars, where the electronics, if at all, were fairly "basic". Would a conversion prove to be financially unfeasible ? Would you have to notify DVLA and pass a MOT type test etc? Chad.R P.S.
• M1 J19 Stupid Lane Markings 29 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Can anyone explain the logic of the changes to the s/b M1 at Junction 19. The relatively small amount of traffic going to the A14 or n/b M6 now gets an exclusive lane for the last half mile to the junction, while the 95% going on south is forced into two then three narrow ones before the s/b M6 itself filters in.
