fancy replacing my clio with something like a fiesta zetec s etc but it depends how much i can for my clio.

hey all, my dad was driving to work this morning in his 1.9TD Scenic (1998 R plate btw) when the car just sort of stopped and wouldnt go any quicker than 10mph. he said he could press the accelorator all the way down and the car would just sit at 10mph and run at slightly higher revs than it...
Just about to leave the office today, when I bumped ino my colleague Paul who said he saw my hazard lights flashing at lunchtime, I though he was taking the piss as he's always trying to wind me up. So I'm walking down the terrace and I see my car with no hazards on so I though "good, he was...

possibly a repost but how easy is it? my mate got a qoute from a place in glasgow around £150 to have his wondows tinted in a veccie. esp design to pre cut tints at £20 a set, seems the cheapest option but dont want to make a hash of it doing it myself?
just a thought... my car has an autocare warranty on it through arnold clark, will modifying it affect, if at all, any parts that are normally replaced under warranty, for example suspension?

had my car serviced this morning and the garage said it needs the near side CV gator replaced as its leaking fluid (so they'll also need to check the brakes for contamination), the new front tyre which was fitted three weeks ago was fitted the wrong way round (then how come it passed its mot a...

Hi,
