Apparently the worlds biggest tyre manufacturer (presumably based on quantity of tyres) is - Lego :-)) Steve

Had a think about automating the car quiz 'guess the answer' tonight . First thought was a hangman type of game , But even if you get it wrong there could be enough of the make and model in the partial words for you to figure it out from your wrong letter guesses . Second thought was a box where you could type in the make and model manually - but not everybody has good spelling skills and...

I have Toyota Townace Noah, its a japanese import, and when i break the whole car shudders, especialy when going downhill, I have changed the break pads and i checked the discs (which look fine) but since changing them its worse. Please can someone give me some idea of what it could be.

Hiya Hope I am posting to the right group here . . if not can someone tell me which one . . I have a set of alloys to sell for my son in law who was given them in part settlement for a debt but we dont know how much they are actually worth They are TWS 'Kosei' 17" Alloys - which I think are S5R and are fitted with Avon ZZ1 tubeless tyres which are as new. So far I have found out that the...

can anyone advise on removal/reffitting of the drivers seat in renault 19. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi all - could anyone suggest reasons why a car might suddenly appear to be overheating? This is a 1996 petrol Fiesta 1.25 with the Zetec engine - never in 4 years I've owned it has the temperature needle gone beyond half-way, suddenly it seems to be going right over into the red. How quickly should/could it get this hot - from cold this morning (not used for 12 hours previously) it went...

I am currently looking for a new Estate car. I've looked at a Passat, a couple of Volvos and the Citro‘n C5 Estate in the last few days. My bottom line is that I want a good solution to the problem of getting full power headlights when driving both in the UK and on the continent. Often changing over twice in one day on a fairly regular basis. It appears that Peugeot Estates used to have a...

I want to mount a mirror on the side of my desktop PC so I can see through the window to my side without moving my head. A car overtaking mirror seems ideal and I want to mount it such that it can swivel and be adjusted. A ball and socket would be nice but I don't see many of these available. (A spiral wound metal arm has too much "spring" and springs back a distance to where it was moved...

Anyone any experience of Citroen C5, particularly the 3 litre model? They seem to shed value like nothing on earth - about 3.5k for a 2001 model with under 20k miles for example. Thirsty, sure, but are these something to avoid like the plague?

Just checking whether I could have got cheaper really but I have bought an Astra VXR (on the road £19250) + Arden blue (£350) + 19" wheels (£500) + tank of gas (£50) for £17995 from a main Vauxhall dealer. Took a weekend of playing dealers off against each other but has anyone managed to beat them down more?

Hello $Friend I just came across something so innovative, I thought you would appreciate being one of the first I notified. I recently discovered the simplest way for you and I to build a passive income from the Net. It's not like anything you have seen before, trust me. It's so far ahead of anything else I have seen, I know you'll be as excited as I am. The best part, it's free to join and...

I *was* watching a rather nice looking Mercedes 300TE with full service history until I looked at the seller's previous recent purchases - a genuine (new, unused) Toyota service record book, a Jaguar service record book, and a special order rubber stamp for...£33.50! I hear alarm bells. Si

Hi all, I`m looking for reccomendations for a garage to do the tracking and balancing on my car in the Liverpool area - Widnes/Speke. Anyone got any reccomendations for good places that get it done quickly and at a decent price? Thanks for your help!

Anyone got/had one? Any good are they? I find myself lusting after one for two reasons: lovely shiny ones are to be had for under a grand and they're only 1.8l or 2.0l so feck all for me to insure. Three reasons...build quality is supposed to be much better than lots of MB's since. I've heard the 1.8's a bit sluggish so I'm thinking that the 2.0l would be better, not only for the extra go...
