Peugeot is worst than FIAT

If you pumped the tyres up a bit extra it would make more difference

And that's some going.

Yes, That is mostly true in my experience, Now lets NOT consider Citroen. The only car to have its air intake double as a water scoop in times of light flooding...

[spuorgelgoog]

The only vehicles worth having are Japanese ones (quality control) made in the UK (parts availability)?

My Berlingo was sort of OK.

Actually on second thoughts is was shit.

The VH Combo was far better. Doors that shut and opened (when you wanted then to) , started in a morning and did not breakdown as often as a woman with PMT.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Yeah. German cars are shit designs, but they do keep working on them until all the little points of failure are eliminated.

Last week my Jag threw 4 different errors at me all at once, down to one after stopping and restarting. Today no errors????

I conclude there is a loose connector in the wiring somewhere On a German car it would be supported each end in a little clip with a rubber boot over it or something

[Joshua Snow]

That isn't what happened with the Golf. Quality control went down hill and the later ones were notorious for bits falling off. Mostly trivial stuff like door handles etc. Not clear why, I never bothered to check if it was due to a redesign to make the automated assembly easier.

The air intake on my SD1 EFI is as low as possible. To get the coldest air. About 18" or less above ground level.

But then I don't go wading in rivers with it.

[Jim White]

Renault Espazz did that too.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

As low as possible gets the coldest air. For better performance.

If you want a duck, buy a Duck.

Ah, but when they are good they are very very good....

[John_j]

Not here it doesn?t in summer with the road itself being stinking hot in the sun.

They arent much fun for the 6 hour road trips when its dry,

Makes more sense to have the air scoop much higher so it still works fine in the very occasional flood.

The 506 RXH I had for 4 years was faultless.
