Driving along the M23 this evening I was passed by a 4xFord of some sort.
Rear wishbones, very big and boxy, about the same size as the Explorer but
bodywork more like a Disco.
Anyone any ideas what it could have been? I couldn't see any rear badges

Renault Megane turning over but not starting - suddenly happens after many
years of hassle free motoring etc.. Checks - lots of fuel, fuel to
cylinders, good spark to plugs, cams turning, battery fine. So, the local

In the past I've always believed that automatic gearboxes lost efficiency
largely in their torque converters.  This was one of the reasons I plumped
