Got this one for now It’s not a V8 sadly but has all sorts of silliness like “track mode” @sport setting” & “launch control” I’m having great fun On our honeymoon in Canada we upgraded our hire car to a top of the line Chrysler 300 as it was cheaper than hiring a sat nav. It had a 5.5 litre V8 and was tremendous fun in a straight line. Made a fantastic noise. The bizarre thing was it was one of these HEMI engines that Chrysler make which, I think, shuts down half the engine when you are just tootling along to increase efficiency. On a long run up one of the motorways I got about 40mpg out it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DublinMagyar Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Advice please - 2011 Ford Focus 1.6TDCi - "Engine Malfunction" came on this morning when under hard acceleration (joining motorway). When I put the foot down, the car felt sluggish for a sec then the message popped up - after that, I couldn't accelerate hard at all (limp mode?). Kinda felt like the car was starved of fuel for a second - any ideas welcome? Car is booked in for a service tomorrowWell, you were all wrong€40 on a new fuel filter and I fixed the fucker myselfHappy out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I have a question, I wonder if any of you knowledgeable folk could help me. There's something weirdly wrong with our Zafira's (yes, I have given up on life) headlights. When I turn the dips on they stay on for about 2-3 seconds, then the offside one goes down to just the sidelight. The sidelights, beams and fog lights are unaffected. I can't think of anything that could be causing the dip to come on fine, and then go out. Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scosha Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Car sales must be really struggling right now. I was after a BMW 1 series back in November and the sales guy wouldn’t budge on price whatsoever. Had a look tonight out of curiosity and it’s now £2500 less than what they were looking for originally, and less than what I’d offered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be the same, but I’m looking for an A-Class at the moment and Mercedes aren’t moving at all on price which surprised me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Is buying a Touran an admission that I am a middle aged mess? Is there a comparable car that would not make the same admission? Am I admitting it no matter what similar car I buy, and what would anyone recommend instead of a Touran? The Polo isn’t really cutting it for boot space and I want something I can fit a Thule bike trailer into, as we are now tending to use that as a buggy more than we are an actual buggy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 My ex has the seat equivalent which was cheaper than the vw but I’d essentially a vw. He needed the seats as continued breeding. I found estate car better than people carrier for boot space, longer wheel base meant better boot space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
