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?

Hi Guys Still have the MB's but mums got a 2002 Ford Fiesta 1.25 zetec. The rear wiper has stopped working altogether and is stuck in middle of the rear screen. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this and what i need to do to fix it please. Thanks Raj

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...

..........it was pants. Could not find a comfortable driving position. Sluggish doesn't begin to cover it. Ok I know it's engine is only half the size of Edna's, but if there was any kickdown at all - it was so bubble-wrapped as to be totally unoticable. The road noise was irritating - my ears...

Bought for £14000. 53,000 miles Y Reg full MBSH. Still smells new. :cool: Ferociously fast :devil: Not sure about the fancy pipes on the back - just garnish and they come off easy. It will never look this good again - two small chidren will see to that. First thing my toddler did was try...

Having a bit of a clear out from my Ford days; a load of relays, some of the big fuses that fuse the fuseboards, some electric window switches, Lavente grey paint, diodes and fuse board links, a Ghia X badge, came from my escort/orion but probably fit others, I cant be bothered 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?

What is the story behind this, and more importantly is it true?? Seems that a chip in a Ford Focus CD player will decode Sky?

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...

Just got back from Brands Hatch where I marshalled th FFF. Personally, I thought the formula fords were a bit of an anti-climax,given that they are the main event. I much prefered the Heritage Grand Touring Car Challenge with: Tiff Needell :eek: driving an Aston Martin DB4, Tony Jardine...
