Well the inevatable has happened, the head gasket has gone on my little Saxo :( I have been looking around for quotes and it seems like it will cost me around £500! The cheapest I got is £320, but that means driving to Gatwick from Portsmouth, which is something I really dont want to do. My...

Ok guys, here is my beautiful 3 stud Saxo progress thread. Got her in September for £700 with 12 months MOT, 6 months tax and 3 months warrenty. I did stickerbomb the fuel filler cap, the glovebox (I still have both) and my wing mirrors but I took them off cause they looked poor after about...

Hi all, Having brought my Saxo for £100 a few weeks ago and had nothing but problems with it, I am selling it for £200 or scrapping it (£200 was what I was offered for it) and getting something else. I have attached a few links and would like to see what you all think? The Saxo is exactly...

Hi all, I know 106's and Saxo's are similar, but just how closely related are they? This is cause I have to get a new brake switch for under the pedal, and all the scrappys tell me that if they dont have one to take it from one of them. Would it fit and work, or would it be a waste of money...

Hi guys, have just seen a car that I am interesting in buying. There is just one problem, as an 18 year old male, I'm not sure if it will make me look abit "camp" (if thats how to put it). I really like the car, but I don't want to look abit silly in it. Anyway it is a 1.1 Mitsubishi Colt...

Hi all, I have recently read about these kits, basicly they have pins and a key so you can easily remove your steering wheel. Has anyone had any experience with them and know if they are any good? Also, on there website it tells you that it is a security device, but does anyone know if an...

Ok guys, theory test is on wednesday and there is just one problem, I'm bricking it on the hazard perception! I've got a disc for my computer and have been practicing every day but it just doesn't seem to be going right for me. The video quality on it is awful and I can't seem some hazards...

Guys, Another one of the many questions running through my mind! I know that most people say you can fit a turbo to a 1.6 or above engine, but is there anything stopping you from adding one to something smaller? Possibly even a 1.0? Thanks again, Corey.

I've been looking up vinyl wrapping, as I'm starting a project with a mate and we can't afford a full respray. I don't fully understand the concept though. Does it just go over the outside of the car, so if your motor has bodywork showing on the inside it will be a different colour? Also...

as the title says, I broke down today while driving my mums 1.8 Astra CDX. Coming down a country road, in the snow and couldn't get up the hill. Car cut out and now will not turn over. The hazards went on and I was wondering if I should have left them on over night for all cars that may be...

All, What is your view on these? Would you recommend them for a new driver and a young one? Is there any cheap, olders ones that you feel are good quality? Finally (and sorry for all the questions!) but is there a way to mod a manual or fully-auto into a semi-auto? I am...

Ok then, just been browsing the internet looking at cars the had great names. Whats the best that you found? Mine would have to be a '69 Pontiac GTO "The Judge". I feel this is the best name for a car. Not only does this car look the part, the stats make it a car that all should respect, as...

So how many of you actually use Facebook? What's your views on it whether you do or do not use it. We could even set up a TorqueCars group for those of us who do. :D

Hi all, Just a few questions on engine swaps (and they may seem abit silly!) OK, well I have read the article regarding engine swaps but I am still abit confused. It says that any engine can go into any car, as long as there is room, but what desides there is room? Is it just the dimensions...

All, I am looking at 2 cars tomorrow, a mk3 Astra and the Hyundai. I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I can get parts specificly for the Hyundai? I have looked around and only managed to find parts for the Astra, which makes me think it may be alot easier to do. Although I want...

All, I have recently been brought a Vibe CBR 12" Twin EVO Active sub, amp, enclosure set and just had a few questions on it. 1) I was told that I should fit another battery to the car by a few mates, is this a good idea or should I not bother? 2) Should I get another amp? The spec states...

All, I don't know if there is any near you that you know of but I haven't been able to find any on google, but are there any courses in your area that will help do the basics on car modifications? If there isn't and I'm just getting my hopes up, are there any part time/evening college...

All, I am after a small 1.0 run around that I can practice in and then use for around a year when I pass. Would prefer with long MOT and Tax but mainly MOT, due to me not haveing that big of a piggy bank! :embarrest: Preferablely in the Hampshire area but may be willing to travel. Want...

Having got my provisional license in recent days, I was just wondering how many hours you spent learning to drive. A leaflet they sent said an average of 40 hours with an instuctor and 30 hours personal time, does this look too larger number for you or is this accurate to what you did...

Hi all, Just looking around at cars and I have seen a Pug 306 diesel, and was wondering if the ensurance would be higher than on the equivilant petrol model? I know it may not be much different for a 40 year old male with 5 years no claims bonus, bus would the difference be worth getting it...

Now I've had alook around yet I don't know really what would be cheap/expensive/good value for money etc. I found a single lesson for £22 and a block of 10 for £180 from the woman who lives around the corner from me. What do you all think and how much did you spend per lesson?

Hi all, I have been told that doing a Pass Plus will lower my insurance, but does anyone know roughly how much? And how much it costs to take up the scheme, as I'm guessing it won't be cheap. Thanks, Choness2004.
