NEVER tell your insurer unless you’re definitely making a claim, they’ll put your premium up whether you claim or not, you’re basically telling them you’ve had an accident.

I’m in the UK, in around 2001 my friend who ran a speed measuring company had the then latest shape Golf, the K&N factory is close to me so I picked him up from there when he left his car with them for the day as a template for their aftermarket filter, when we picked the car up they’d left the...

There's much confusion over oil grades, US spec is slightly different to European so I go with what the Ford dealer recommends, the old school car dealer in me tells me a thicker oil will protect your engine better at higher temps but then will it get around the engine quickly enough on initial...

Iol, it’s quick enough for our broken roads, D5 212 PS Geartronic

I drive a 10 year old Volvo S80 diesel as my daily and keep my Mustang for best

I’ve had three facelift V8 Mustangs and never had a problem, you’ll only read about the broken ones on the internet.

I’ve changed numerous batteries with the engine at idle without issues, obviously remove all clamps etc before disconnecting and have the new battery ready to lift straight in, no need to reset clocks or radio stations etc

When Americans start talking about MPG I know the world has ended

It would be simpler to exchange your Bullitt for one with Magneride, I’ve owned both, in a Mag equipped car in normal mode the ride is more compliant, the non Mag car feels like the Mag car permanently in Sport mode

Are you sure? I’d check your Bullitt again

The indicator stalk is on the left and the wipers are on the right which is actually incorrect in a RHD car, traditionally the indicators were on the right so you could change gear with your left hand but sometime in the 1970s we fell inline with Europe who drive on the right, it’s now become...

Controversial I know but but I’ve spent 40 years in the motor trade and from my experience I’ve learned that any modification to any car will introduce a compromise, when I see a car with mods I either walk away or make sure it’s cheap enough to trade out of
