I have seen a couple of gloom and doom stories about bent con-rods etc when folks have driven through floods or fords so I thought I should share my more positive experience. I wish I could tell you that my wife had driven through the ford but no, it was me. She was sitting next to me telling...

Hi, Sorry this isn't about a BMW but maybe somebody is familiar with these or can point me to a good fiesta forum? My friend's Ford Fiesta's clutch isn't disengaging. She puts her foot down on the clutch pedal and the engine stays in gear. I thought the clutch would have snapped/disconnected...

Someone parked one of these on my street yesterday, I'd not seen one in ages. My Dad had one for years and I'd always wanted one since I started driving, but they're getting harder to find year on year and the few that are left are mint examples that cost more than an E46 M3. I heard it start...

Good afternoon all, I've finally taken the plunge and put a deposit on a 2010 318D M-Sport. Haven't got it yet, but thought I'd sign up to have a look around. I'm getting a 318D M-Sport (May2010), mainly for the performance AND economy, doing c.16k a year. Hope to have a few years good...
