Recently when getting the SL (03-with 40k miles) ready for MoT, I was annoyed to discover it needed a bottom ball joint (left hand side) and a front shock absorber (right hand side). The ball joint was probably not that old as it had been replaced under a recall. Earlier the ML(03 with 30k...

A friend of ours has just pulled this out of the garage after a recent bereavement - it has been there since it was laid up in 1990! It has 5 owners - the original first owner and then father and son twice each - so it really is one owner + 1 family from new 3.0 Mk1 pre facelift Capri :)...

Or rather, Ford to Tata. According to the Financial Times, Ford will tomorrow announce the sale of Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata of India. Here's the FT article: LINK HERE

According to 5th gear, Ford Mustangs are being imported by some dealers in left hand drive form for £13,000 to £16,000 depending on engine size etc. The higher price will bring in a V8. How can those prices be real? Even at two dollars to the pound ....... Or for that money a modest Golf...

I have a Ford Focus for sale. It is priced to sell because it belongs to a friend who has moved out of the country and I can't be doing with haggling. Ford Focus 1.8TDi CL 5 Door Hatchback. Silver, black interior. Y registered. Very good condition. Central locking, air conditioning...

Have heard a few rumours over the past couple of days, but this seems to confirm... Tata is certainly rich enough to afford one or more major acquisitions in this market, but would the brands cope with the perceptions of Indian ownership?

Rumour has it BMW are casting their eyes over VOLVOS books at the moment and tales of a possible sale abound. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/b7d4f906-0ad1-11dc-8412-000b5df10621,dwp_uuid=e8477cc4-c820-11db-b0dc-000b5df10621.html Maybe Cris Bangle is looking for INSPIRATION from old volvo models to...

This just tickled me. The 500 platform will also be shared with Ford, and is set to form the basis of the blue oval's next-generation Ka. Both models will be built in Poland at the Tychy plant. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/207557/fiat_500.html Is that groovy or what?

I test drove one last weekend for nearly 3 hours (Mercedes and VW would not let me have their MPVs for more than 30 minutes). My first thoughts: 1. Has visible bare screw threads in the cabin: just like my 2003 C-Class. 2. No rattles; surprisingly little wind noise (C-Class: rattles, wind...
