the mondeo diesels injection system usually fails when the lift pump fails sending swarf through the system off topic slightly but theres about to be a major major amount of recall work going on on the mazda 6 2.2 diesel, timing chains stretching and thats on cars with 4000miles...like vast majority of the 6's are the diesels lol |
The small cars of yesterday are the mid-size today. Manufacturers are introducing another car into the range as the small car. I cannot believe the size of the new Astra, how big is that! Each time they get heavier, carry more electronics and SRS systems, no wonder they are slow. We are now cocooned in a safety cell with too many creature comforts and its starting to take away the driving element leaving us somewhat aloof from the real world. Cars that brake for us, park for us, what's next, autopilot?

A mate of mine has just bought a Astra 1.6 180bhp Turbo. I was expecting near ZS V6 performance but it felt similar to my 120! What's that all about?!
To top it off he's getting 28mpg! |

Maybe Stamford can help on this one, back in the 1950's Rover brought out a freewheel system.
Never could work out how it worked, but its sounds like the 1st Generation Kers system. Never took off and dropped by Rover, so I suppose that says it all. It has always been one of those things you hear about and sticks in the mind. :smile1::smile1::smile1: |
I wasn't born then Peter! ;)
Maybe they did do something, don't recall it. |
:king: :smile1::smile1::smile1::smile1: ;);)

1st generation KERS system is to be found in toy cars lol :rofl:
So versatile and runs perfectly, just fit it in to any toy car. High speed flywheel holds a lot of momentum... |
If we finally let the kids to use their imagination, the world could be a better place for all of us :santa:
