This thing sounds rather ****ing impressive. http://www.autovisie.nl/nieuws/nieuwsoverzicht/archief/2008/08/autovisie_film_meerijden_/index.xml -- Pete M - OMF#9 BMW 325i SE Touring Range Rover V8 Turbo Renault 30 TX Auto

Am considering a new 'off road' bumper for the front of my Jeep - the one I really like is narrower than the body. Is this OK or would it illegal for use on our UK roads? Do the bumpers have to be as wide as the vehicle body? Any of you MOT-tester types about with an opinion? many thanks

Halfords are selling 40 quid R134a refill packs - basically an aerosol with an in-line pressure gauge and some basic instructions. Is such self-servicing advisable? I thought the quantity of refridgerant was fairly ciritical and the supplied gauge looked very cheap and nasty with major scope for inaccurate metering . Also, I was recently told there are new EU rules on refridgerant handling -...

Having picked up another polo yesterday I removed the K&N that the previous owner had fitted and put the stock air box back on with a fresh paper filter. It's quiet it down quieted a bit so it should be a more pleasant experience to drive. On a random side note why dose driving get worse the further south you go? After getting below Brum there was a steady correlation between the distance...

I have a few really basic questions... I have a generic set of axle stands (from Screwfix) and a generic trolley jack (from Aldi). But when I jack up my old banger there isn't enough clearance to get the stands in under the chassis supporting points. It needs to go up about another 2 inches. Stands are about 24cm at their lowest extent (without even the peg in the first hole), jack is about...

I've got some heated washer jets for my Mk.1 Mondeo from a scrapped Ghia - but unfortuantely they were stripped by the scrappy so I didn't see where the connections were made. I've heard that sometimes the loom has the connector already in place, but not in others. I just want to be certain mine hasn't before finding a decent 12V supply for them. For anyone with heated jets:

Did consider diesel, but with no TurboD option in the uk, and veg oil being dearer than 95RON unleaded, and as dear as pump diesel these days, what is the point. I found the video I posted before when researching the model not the other way round. Fancied a merc for a while as the autoboxes are pretty solid and I miss the Lexus but don't want the costs of running such a big car/big fuel...

Thinking of buying RR door on eBay, and need to tell courier how much one weighs (kg). any advice much appreciated. Rob

Hired a VX Corsa today, I can't believe how similar it feels to the Grande Punto. The window arrangement is the same, the facia and instruments are almost the same. It makes the same noises and the handling is the same.

A 2005 Polo 1.4 with very low mileage, around 10,000 miles. After driving down a motorway without any problem, on reaching the 30 mph area the car starts to judder and reduce speed (but the engine doesn't actually cut out) and the light goes on to warn of exhaust/engine management problem. The light is blinking, but there is no other instruction message. Driver was very worried, stopped...

I'm putting the Skoda on ebay. I'll be starting the bidding at 1p with no reserve, 7 day auction. Predictions ? Nearest the final bidding gets no prize whatsoever.

Dear All, I am giving the Rebel its annual titivate before the winter. It could really do with new front shoes but these (same as a Herald or a 105E Anglia) are no unobtainable. So I am giving some thought to converting to disk brakes. The braking side is dead easy: the upraight is from a Herald and I have two complete disk-braked Herald uprights available - they'll slot straight in. The...

So next year car tax goes up again but I do not understand the new costs... Taking my car into this apparently my 150bhp 1.8tQ Audi pushes out 221 (g/km) That puts me in the same band as a 3.0 X5, but a 163bhp 1.8t Audi A4 on parkers shows 169 (g/km) Mine is in the same Co2 band as the 225 bhp 1.8t's, so is their anyway you can contest this? can you write to the DVLA and tell them they have...

Today the ****ing abomination that is the whaletail on my Capper was consigned to history. Sadly I now have 5 holes in the tailgate which I've capped with grommets for now to keep the weather out but that's far far in preference to that hideous piece of plastic ****e that was there. -- Conor

Sierra 1.8CVF 1990. Just found a good one and got it running, but there isn't a connecting plug that goes into the crank position sensor and wire cut back to where it goes into the loom.

My 14 yr old Citroen TD (65k miles on clock) has 2 problems: 1. Heating in cabin stopped working a few months back (though fan works) 2. Radiator fan now cuts in after only a few miles and keeps running for several minutes after I stop (though dial indicates low temperature, no overheating). Any ideas for diagnosing and fixing would be gratefully received. I assume they are two separate...

Can anyone tell me when the cambelt is due on a 2002 Fiat Doblo 1.9 JTD ELX? Parkers says it's a 100bhp model. Also, what kinda price should I expect the belt change to cost - and what parts aside from the belt are required/recommended, such as tensioners, rollers, waterpump etc? I'd be very grateful if anyone knew for sure as, I'd look in the manual but it's a second hand car we're looking...

My 02 Civic has a bit of slack in the drivers seat - it moves a bit under acceleration and braking. I had a mod whilst under warranty - which fixed the problem but it has returned. I suspect a worn bush on the height adjustment. Does anyone have experience of how to fix this?

Is there an aftermarket cd/radio with a display remote from the main player? I have dash space for a headunit (although DIN-E might be a bit big and I'd prefer something slimmer), but I _dont_ have sufficient room behind the dash to accommodate it. I could simply mount the whole thing under the drivers seat and fumble about to swap stations, but I'd prefer something that had a small display...

They upped their game for the second episode. I enjoyed that as much as I enjoy an average-quality British Top Gear. Now that's an achievement. How predictable that they never settled the Ford vs Holden debate. The new Falcon looks a bit er, whale like from the side doesn't it!

Hi Folks, It looks as if I'll have the V70 in my care for a while, and it's servicing time, so it looks a if I need to catch up with the century and get myself an OBDII scanner.

A long time ago I seem to recall reading an article which stated that LPG took far more energy to refine, transport and store as a useable vehicle fuel than petrol or diesel. Coupled with it's lower energy density than petrol or diesel which can result in a higher comparable fuel consumption, the article indicated that although using LPG improved air quality it actually used more fossil fuel...

I was following a tarted up hatchback the other day and it was producing the weirdest exhaust smells. Definitely not diesel and I don't think it was down to a knackered cat. It smelt exotic & aromatic and made me wonder if someone was running their car on some sort of illicit petrol substitute (not that I know of any) or at least pepped their fuel up with something exotic. Not much of...

Drivers caught doing over 80mph are going be automatically banned from driving for 1 year . The new law is due to come into effect on the 1st Feb 2009 after a extensive tv and newspaper campaign in January to inform drivers of the new road traffic law .

To save a bit of money on fuel, I have bought an old Cleo Diesel. I have heard people say these may be run on a wide range of fuels, but it depends on what fuel pump you have? How can I tell? What fuels can I use? Someone said something about fuel oil, that seems a little unlikely but very cheap and convenient if true. The car was very cheap, so I am not too worried about any damage I may do...

Not all the time necessarily but in various different automatics that I've driven, if reverse is selected there is usually a perceptable "thunk" through the drive train.
