I didn't have a clue about the 9-5 so googled it. Oh my gawd ! They are ****** ugly. Edit - just to clarify, I don't use swear words on the internet, this website even edits minor cuss words.

The vehicle would need to be on a wet rolling road in a wind tunnel to prove or disprove the cone theory.

But the cone from each wheel would meet in the middle ! and that's not taking into account the turbulence caused by the cars forward motion. Sometimes theory and fact don't coincide.

I guess like me he thought you pressed the cruise button when you were at the desired speed. Because that's how it worked on the car I hired in America a few years ago. I only sussed out how to use mine after I got home and read the hand book. Easy when you know how, not so obvious when you don't.

And made the air turn blue !!! :angry:

That's ridicules ! Who the hell makes these rules up. The MOT is supposed to be about making sure the car is roadworthy not if it's got a security device fitted.

I might be stating the obvious but have you tried WD 40 in the lock. It's worked for me in the past, squirting it on the key and in the lock and putting the key in & out and gently wriggling it.

Many moons ago when I was working in a garage the mechanics had a Triumph Herald hoisted up until it was almost on it's nose to get rid of an air lock in the brakes system.

When I worked at Fords there was a section that packed parts for spares, where workers transferred parts from the manufacturers boxes into boxes saying " Genuine Ford Part "

I have come to the conclusion the largest percentage of drivers that - Come straight out in front of you from slip roads, Ignore the give way to traffic on the right at roundabouts rule, And change lanes without warning. Are the ones with "Baby on board" stickers in their motors. Apparently it's...

Sorry Julius I misunderstood the point you were making. It's surprising how changing the setup can effect how the engine runs. The rubber exhaust mounts on a SRI Cavalier I had broke and I needed to use the car before I could get new ones. So I secured the exhaust with heavy duty cable ties...

They stop the engine falling out onto the road :o

Well because of my age if I listed the motors I'v owned it would include cars that most of the members on here never heard of. But the most exotic one was also without doubt the shortest I'v owned one. In the mid sixties I bumped into a wheeler dealer friend in a coffee bar, he had a DB4 Aston...

Pete, Have you seen this thread ? - 'Rear brakes issue' - the problem was caused by the hoses.

If the heating is set on auto the air-con is activated.

The squeaking noise when you start could be a loose belt on the alternator or a faulty alternator. So possibly your battery isn't getting charged.

On the other end of the scale I had a friend with a dealership who earned a good living supplying couriers with MZs. Who would run them into the ground and buy a new one.

Exactly my thoughts when I read the post. Why would you want more noise if it doesn't improved the performance. The prat I trusted to repair the exhaust on my previous car welded a straight through cat on it and the drone gave me a headache on long runs.

Hi Kyfer what was the final outcome ? It would be helpful if you let members know for future reference.

Looking at the stats on Autotrader there's not a lot of difference with the average mpg of similar models. 2ltr Accord 32.1 mpg - 2 ltr Mondeo 30.7 mpg - 2.2 Vectra 34 mpg. ​I'v owned all three and think the Honda miles better.
