The only problem associated with "chelsea tractors" is narrow mindedness by people like yourself who would insist on thinking that any car that has drive to all 4 wheels is a chelsea tractor and is just a fashion accesory. As more sensible people know this isnt the case. The smaller 4x4's...

Having looked at the Telegraph web site and doing a search for X-trail I found the following quote: "2002-2004 Nissan X-Trail 2.5 auto Price:

As an extra to the bath idea: Fill same bath full to the brim. The hose that normally would go from the pressure washer to the tap, run from the washer to the bath (through the window). This will syphon of the water from the bath. If anyone questions it, you are using used water from the bath...

I think a lot of the problem with flashing in HGV;s and caravans is an age and driving experience thing. Although only 35, I was beside my father a lot while he was driving and payed a lot of attention with the usual why do you do that questions. As my outfit is a good match and the car is...

I would guess that most traffic plod can look at an outfit and judge that its suitable or not and decide if further investigation is needed. Now, how the hell a mondeo 1.8 (maybe 2.0l) petrol got away with pulling a twin axel Hobby to and from Haggerston castle a few weeks ago without attracting...

We have just taken a trip from Fife (glenrothes) to The Invercauld CC site at Breamar. When I booked the site on the phone I asked if there was any roads worth watching for bridges/narrow roads etc. There was none. I set my TomTom to the Invercauld (its actually a built in POI in TT) and off I...

I drive a 6-speed Dci Xtrail and tow a 1430 mtlpm (?) coachman. Will quite easily pull the van in 6th on a level, even accelerate enough to overtake quickly on a motorway in that speed. Even inlclines dont seem to phase it providing Im doing a decent speed into the incline it will generally...

Mitsubishi UK are one of the few (if not the only one) that will help buyers with spares/service for imported cars. The delicia is based on the Shogun/pajero and so spares are readily available. Loads of owners clubs too. Steve

Im no expert on these, my brother in law has one. Imported, obviously with 50k on the clock, no damage/rust or anything wrong with bodywork, looks like new. Maybe the headlights look a little dull but thats about it. Seems to have everything electic on it, has dual zone climate control, the...

Hi, The CRV of 1999 vintage will be a 2.0l petrol. No Diesel versions were made till 2005. Fuel costs will be an issue. Not sure how the petrol tows compared to the diesel version but im sure someone will be along shortly to comment on that!

Chances are your heating while on electric is heating up to a good level (whatever setting its on) and then cutting off once the thermostat is detecting the pre-set temperature which so far is fine. On some vans the control panel for the truma is near to the heater itself and so the heat from...

Remember that the Sorento, however good reviews it gets has a 2.5L engine in it and is a BIG car. Offers 138bhp and 314lb ft of torque, co2 emmissions of 226. The Xtrail and CRV have smaller 2.2 engines. Xtrail is 136bhp, 232lb ft toruqe with co2 emmissions of 190. When people say the...

I hope that you are typing this all tongue in cheek as not knowing how cruise control works in your car and what buttons to press/use is very very dangerous and irresponsible. We were all told when we learnt to drive to make sure we are aware of all the controls of the car before using it...
