On the drive to work, my car was running 100% spot on, on the journey home however was almost undriveable! It refused to go above 0.2 bar, and when you tried (even under normal acceleration) it violently would try to stall, a loud pop from the exhaust. It seems to tick over fine, but when...

Hi All, I am just wondering how common it is for a Turbo to blow, my car is only 4 years old and has 72,000 miles on the clock. I like to think that I drive reasonably and don't drive like I stole the car so don't think that it would be due to my driving style. Has anyone else had problems...

OK, so 5 meetings done, 5 to go. What are you thoughts. I'm thinking Turks for the outright title. The RAC 320si's look strong. Gio, well I don't think he'll make it 3 in a row, the Vectra is just struggling against the BMWs. CVR, dunno whats going on there. Such a promising start...

Looking for some advise, I replaced the blubs for my rear registration number plate with LED blbs but now they dont work. Would they have blown the fuse? I thought the led bulbs would have required less power. Can someone tell me where the fuse is located? Thanks
