Steve93 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Currently either my Saab swapped Astra, or my 9-5 Aero, If my 9-3 TTiD would start I'd drive that too 🤣 If I find the motivation, I'll hopefully be driving this once I've rebuilt it Edited November 29, 2020 by Steve93 Spelling Enid_Puceflange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted November 29, 2020 Supporters Share Posted November 29, 2020 Well from my wayyy earlier post, my MG ZT 190 went beyond economic repair (that and £280 road tax and £75 every 3 weeks in fuel) so I got a b6 Passat ..... what a mistake, everything that could fail ... failed and I do mean everything (steering column lock, turbo, even vw dealer failed to tighten cam bolts when I had the belts done, EPB, injector wiring loom etc etc)😡 .... 18months of .... hell😡 so for the past year I now have a 2016 Nissan Leaf .... motoring has never been sooo cheap (£15-£20 a month electric, no road tax etc), no cambelt, no clutch .... just brilliant!

benno996 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 My second very expensive hobby. Not the most ideal car for woodland airsoft, should probably invest in a runaround that isn’t decked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad-Al Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Getting a little long in the tooth now but my first car that ive owned for almost 7 years now 2008 bmw Z4 2.5 si msport Bought with under 40,000 miles still has less that 75,000 on it. Ignore the s*&t hole its parked in that was the car park behind mine and my partners starter flat, we finally got out of that hell hole and bought our first house in November. Thats her immaculate 1998 mx5 Berkeley edition hiding behind my car and it as an absolute joy to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IFartedOnTheWayHere Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 it's my turn! I want a go! started out in my family's runabout - '09 Toyota Yaris with the 1.0 Aygo engine. very practical and sipped fuel, but had less pulling power than a bluebottle fly. as you'll see, I'm a sucker for cheap black VWs. bought myself an '05 Golf TDI for cheap, cleaned it up, changed the coil springs and drop links, and sold it for double what I paid for it. currently on Polly, my '06 Polo 12V. bought her for cheap as an MOT failure, fixed and cleaned her up, now looking to do a few upgrades - 16" alloys, nicer steering wheel, dent delete, scratch delete... would love a Mk6 Golf TSI/TDI in the future.

Olive00 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I bought a Mazda Cx-30 2020 at the end of June 2020, after I sold my 2011 Mazda 3. So what can I say: Pros of the car: Bright, expressive exterior and interior design. Excellent handling. Good soundproofing of the cabin. Cons of the car: Problems with the build quality of the cabin The cabin is cramped inside, in comparison with competitors. Fuel consumption in the city is relatively high for a so-called hybrid engine. "Jerking" of the gear box when the 1st and 2nd gears are turned on. My little experience of owning the CX-30 suggests that the price for it is clearly overpriced; if I were an importer, I would think about the pricing policy. For the same money, you can buy a CX-5 in a simpler configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DrAlexanderTobacco Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Car folks - advice appreciated! The car: Toyota Yaris, 2005, 1.3 vvti The problem: Sometimes the car takes ages to start. Sometimes it won't start at all, but starts up quickly the next day. Spark plugs changed out, same problem. It's inconsistent - sometimes it starts very easily, sometimes slightly delayed, sometimes I can hear the engine/starter motor groaning into life slowly. There is a linked problem. After a delayed start, the engine doesn't put out as many revs as it should at idle. If I press down on the accelerator, I get a loss of power, engine shudders, before roaring into life in a delayed fashion. Once I start driving, this problem disappears. Any tips? Cheers!

Start with your ht leads, give them a once over with some wd40 or other moisture displacement compound. If the outers start to break down then they become susceptible to higher resistance due to moisture. Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Tackle Posted December 29, 2021 Supporters Share Posted December 29, 2021 Lol, the tax on most 4wd's is ridiculous, even some of the Diddy ones, although not too bad on my mitsi L200 🤔 MAX DICKER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAX DICKER Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) I like the L200's, big fan of pickups. Missus wanted an automatic to learn in so my choice was limited. Tax is a bit pricey but it's a very nice car. Edited December 30, 2021 by MAX DICKER Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Pre 2001 is the safe zone tax wise, love my Y61 Patrol.

Late but check all the vehicle chassis / engine earths. Check your not losing fuel pressure / have a blocked fuel filter or fuel pump pick up. Check no water, diesel or otherwise in the tank.
