When you look at the way Vx/Opel pricing structure is being ramped up in MY2020A pricelist: https://www.astrakforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6645 It seems as though, potentially, all the car manufacutrers are upping their conventional car offerings prices in 2020. Perhaps this is to make their el...

Because these new cars are so called key-less cars. There is only a button to press for start and stop. When I come back home and park the car, the car thinks that I am stopping at traffic lights and it cannot know that I want to leave the car now. So it stops the motor, but all other electronics s...

Thanks for this post. I totally agree, it is undoubtedly the worst thing they have found in the name of saving something. I try to disable it every time I start the car, but sometimes I forget it. When coming back home and parking the car, it stops the engine BEFORE I switch everything off and leav...

The reason for S&S from what i have read, is mostly to st...

My rear brakes also sometimes makes a thud, but that is usually if the car has been parked for a couple of days in moist weather and this is because the brake disc starts to rust, and the brakepads "stick" to the disc. The scraping noise is heard the first few times i brake, while the rust and so on...

Uhh no way in the BK lol
PSA engines are rubbish

No they're not,

Yeah you are right, the 1.6 diesel was really really good.

Granted, you had to have the turbo on with wingnuts to be able to change it fast, all the time, but other than that, it was a great engine.

Should read "antenna" on the window somewhere
