    Deep Car Scratches!

    Deep Car Scratches! I have been unfortunate enough to have had my car key'd quite badly earlier today. The scratch starts from my petrol cap and goes all the way down to my headlight, meaning the rear drivers wing, drivers door and front drivers wing are all damaged, as well as a 6 inch scratch...

    New Fuel Prices

    New Fuel Prices As I'm sure you're all aware, good old Mr. Brown has increased fuel prices a hell of a lot the past few weeks and its far worse than the other fuel price increases where they chucked it up a sly penny or two. Diesel by me (Tesco Express) is now a depressing £1.25 a liter! I...

    Insurance Tracker

    Insurance Tracker My mate just got Insurance on his own name for £800 which is £400 cheaper than with an another company. The catch with this £800 insurance is that he cant drive the car between 11pm and 5am. He said if he starts the car between that time, they know about it and they fine him...

    Parking Ticket Loophole

    I drove to Gorseinon today (a town in Swansea) to pick up something from a nearby shop. I parked my car down a one-way street where the parking is for "residents only". I don't live there (obviously) but I still parked there as I wasn't going to be very long. I was around 5-10 minutes and when I...

    DVD Player

    I just bought a DVD Player for my car but if the engine is running and the handbrake is down then it wont play, obviously a method to prevent the driver being distracted. I don't find it distracting, I tend to listen to the film and the occasional glance when at traffic lights etc... But...

    Engine Tapping

    When I bought my car there was a unusual sound from the engine, it didn't sound bad but it was different. I just assumed that maybe I was used to the 1.2 petrol engine sound and then that was just the 2.0 turbo sound. The seller assured me that it was normal and the air-filter does make it sound...

    The Best Peugeot Model

    The Best Peugeot Model Naturally, I voted the 206, not because I have one but I generally believe thats its the nicest car Peugeot have ever made. And even though the Poll does not ask which one is the nicest, thats what I'm basing my answer on. As far as speed goes, the 205 GTI or 306 GTI-6...
