Has any one noticed if the price of a pre March 2001 car is worth more than post March 2001 car, because taking a 2.8 Galaxy for example, in 18 months time, the post March one will be paying

After 7 years of ownership & 150000 miles i've traded her in, 3 of the kids now have their own cars, she wasnt needed anymore, my new car is a 2.0 Ghia Focus, it's a year 2000, X reg, 36000 miles, FSH & 1 owner from new, she drives like a dream, also being registered before April 2001 I won't be hit by the increases in road tax. Although i didn't contribute much, I will still be paying my daily visit to the forum and no doubt asking questions in the Focus section.

Just seen this one.

I managed to get a second hand one of ebay for

If a cable has broken you will have to replace it, you would be unable to repair it.

The pipe to the rear washer has almost certainly become detached, this is an easy job to do, all you have to do is remove the plastic panel on the left hand side of the footwell.

I'm finding that my fuel consumption has increased, before the limiter was fitted I tried to keep as close to 70mph as possible, excelerating slightly when overtaking then returning to 70mph, with a limiter fitted you are constantly having to slow down, due to the fact that the vehicles in the middle lane are driving about 80mph without leaving a big enough gap to safely pull into. In light motorway traffic I must admit it is a bonus not to keep checking your speed, but light motorway traffic nowadays is getting very rare.

About a month ago my company fitted a speed limiter onto my works van, set at 70mph, in an attempt to save costs (as I do a high mileage last month 6000 miles), I have found it to be dangerous and stressful. Before the limiter was fitted I averaged about 600 miles per tank, since the limiter has been fitted i'm averaging about 550 miles per tank, I put this increase in consumpsion down to the fact that I can no longer keep to a steady speed, as I keep on getting stuck behind lorries. I fought long and hard to try to stop this limiter being fitted, but to no avail. Speed limiters should be a concern to all drivers because it is expected that all vehicles will be fitted with them within ten years, apparently the technology alredy exists through the GPS system to limit your speed to the speed limit of the road that you are driving on.

I think this is the intake temperature sensor

Whats the alternative?

In my opinion VED is an unfair tax and should be scrapped completely, I drive a company vehicle and average approx 40000 miles a year, my wife drives the Galaxy about 5000 miles a year, but the VED on both vehicles is about the same how can this be fair.

Try Tesco, I renewed last month

Hi all, I have managed to cure my limp mode problems by changing the hoses from the n75 valve to the turbo, but I am still getting a 65535 fault code and think the hose from the intake pipe to the ECU needs changing, the ECU is located behind the instrument cluster and needs removing to be able to change the hose, does anyone know how to remove it.

I've just looked at an American website that compares fuel prices, they can get diesel for about $1.13 per litre, and to think they are up in arms about the price, just hope that the US government will do something to bring down the price of a barrel. i've just filled up my Vauxhall Vivaro

How do you know if its working, if you cant notice any difference.
