RandomGuy. Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 For the sake of knowledge, just discovered that the Peugeot/Renault 1.5 engine you find in the new Mercedes A-class is prone as f**k to killing it's own turbo. Seemingly turbo specialists can be doing a couple of every week. Costs a fair bit over £500 to resolve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 They weren’t clogged just think some of the water is below hole so I need to park on slope!Ignore these idiots. Get those windows down and get that heating up. Probably a write off of that doesn’t help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Mrs Pubcarking has had to say a sad farewell to her 11 year old astra as some twat ran into her while she was stopped at some lights. A replacement has been sourced in the shape of a 3 year old fiesta ecoboost, this thing fucking flies down the road and seems pretty well put together for a small hatchback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond8 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The ST's lost a little something when they went to the four pot engine IMO. Gained a fair whack of power though, hands down the most fun car I've driven. The beauty of it is told in this review 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they get to a certain age and not very high mileage The wheels fall off, the bonnet flies up, and smoke pours out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the V6 instead. 4 cylinders just do not do it for me. Every time I fire up my car, the little rumble as it sparks into life puts a smile on my face. It's all about the little victories 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Must be some sort of press day for Rolls Royce Cullinans as they're all over the place today. Saw two in Rosyth earlier then a load of them around the Rolls garage back in Edinburgh (unless Rosyth is going upmarket, which doesn't appear to be the case). The proportions are very odd. Looks like a small Victorian house on cart wheels. Reminded me of this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the social events of the year. Sauasge rolls at the Gladyer Inn for all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Are the tyre pressure machines at the likes of Morrison’s any good? As in, are they accurate? Or is it better to go to a garage for that? Heard some rumours you see. Edited November 15, 2018 by Bonksy+HisChristianParade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it better to go to a garage for that? Heard some rumours you see.You mean the public use ones at Morrisons garage or portable plug in to the lighter socket type ones from in store? Regardless they will have some legal degree of calibration accuracy required. If you use them and the tyre pressure light stays off then I don't see an issue with accuracy. Or are you the type that needs to add exactly a half a psi on each tyre if its cold to aid your drifting round the retail park car park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kick the tyre, if your big toe doesn't break or sinks in, you're probably ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
