So I sold my little rocket after a rather long decision about its fuel consumption and my job which is now requiring me to drive a lot. I went to KIA earlier and have part exed my Twingo for a new RIO 3 which I will be getting in about 10 days. The mpg on the Rio was just to good and its a nice...

Ebay were hacked recently apparently and paypal too I believe. Just logged on to find over £500 taken from my account today. I would change your passwords if you use these services!

So I was parked with 2 of my left wheels on a curb earlier which I got up by driving up a dropped section. When I came back however there was cars blocking the dropped sections of curb and I had to drive straight off, which is when I heard the most horrific metalic scrape and a thud. I couldn't...

So what should my tyre pressure be for the tyre size 205/40/17? I have it about the same as 195/40/17 atm but I assume it should be slightly different. Sorry if this has been asked already, I don't get on with the search function...

So the last thousand miles or so my MPG has been dropping. I had around 35-36 MPG on average but it has been slowly dropping to my current MPG of 29.4. What could be causing this? My tyre pressures are the same and my driving style has not changed though I am only 200 miles away from my 12500...

So I went to a local garage to check out how much they would charge for the 2 silencers to be replaced with straight pipe and was quoted next to nothing as long as I supply the pipe. I was also given a bit of advice; only remove one of the silencers because the one after the downpipe is so close...

Well I was in a rush going to work this morning and when I pulled up outside, my front left wheel scraped for about a second causing some horrid looking damage. It looks a lot worse in person and i'm not happy with myself for driving straight into a kerb... I'm guessing this will cost about...

So I noticed a few days ago my steering wheel has started to wear quite a lot. I haven't noticed it while driving but I happened to notice it while walking past my car. I have done just under 5000 miles... anybody else had this problem and would the warranty cover it? Pretty bad picture but you...

The driver side door on my car is real difficult to shut, requires some force. The passenger side is nice and easy. Is there a way to make the mechanism have less resistance? I tried seating it slightly higher and used grease on it but it seems to have little effect :(

The front of my car was boring me so I picked up some yellow tint for the indicators. Terrible picture angles below... Before: After: Can't really fault it for £1.80 :lol: They also seem brighter with the yellow tint on :?

So i'm thinking about fitting KTR's exhaust system in a few months and I would like to fit this myself. I have never done this before but I have a good idea of what's generally involved, though I would like to know how hard this is on the Twingo? Also has anyone got any opinions on this...

I've noticed that when steering around a corner that sometimes the steering becomes extremely light very suddenly. It mostly happens when traveling under 20mph but occasionally at higher speeds. Happens most often when turning the car 90 degrees or more but sometimes it can happen with minimal...

I'm going to have a go at wrapping a few parts of my car in a couple of days time and i'm wondering if it's possible to remove the fog light surrounds on the facelift since they will need doing. Also how is the cup spoiler removed? Also whats everyones thoughts on how good it will look if I...

Looking to lower my car so thought I would check for any used springs before getting new. Not interested in no name rubbish either :)

Had a Gordini behind me for a while about 45 mins ago in the Llanelli area, unsure if it was rs or not but from the glance I got when I changed roads it looked like it was. Anyone on the forum?

So yeah... passengers in my car keep getting electrified when they leave the car and touch the car door to close it. It's a fairly big shock apparently and I can even hear it over music. Any ideas what could be causing it?

So my new wheels arrived but i'm confused about one thing... spigot rings. Are these really necessary? I plan on fitting some in a few days but I got the wrong ones sent with the wheel and don't want to have to wait ages for replacements. I have heard that they aren't really necessary but I...

So I am changing my wheels from the 17" gloss black cup ones to some 15" ones and have been browsing the interwebs tonight for some nice ones. I quite fancy some white wheels and think it would look good on my red car with the black spoiler and mirrors... my girlfriend says otherwise... What do...

So i'm getting rid of my cup alloys and the conti tyres that came with it. The alloys are in perfect condition except 1 has a faint scrape on the outer edge and the tyres have 3k miles on them with good tread remaining. Looking for £500 Location is Llanelli but I can arrange delivery within the...

So I have been using Tesco's Momentum 99 ever since I have had my car. I used about 15 tanks so far and have recently noticed a strange smell coming through the fans (on or off) when i'm driving kinda hard. It smells strange but there is definitely a petrol odor mixed into it, so today I...
