Nissan Navara – Very popular in the day so lots about now. But the Navara had long-term reliability issues and one with more than, say, 160,000km on board would make us very leery. 3 stars

Electric turbo actuators: these provide a rapid and precise response from the turbo, improving power delivery.

Finally, checkpoints will often be adorned with speakers on the side of their buildings and it’s worth cutting these down because, when power is restored, safety instructions will begin to blare, drawing the attention of any nearby Freakers.

EVERYTHING is like that today. It’s nice to have choices, but there is just so much choice out there it’s causing people to vapor lock. Combine that with the corrosive effects of social media and you get people who are flat out incapable of making decisions.

I made it home from quite a ways back on a public access road in a National (US) Forest by using my bootlaces to replace the broken throttle cable. Removed tc assembly and routed the laces through the hole in the firewall. Neat part was that on those 80s Ford trucks the cruise control used a separate cable. All I had to do was use my new hand throttle to get back to pavement and then I could use cruise to give my hand a rest. I did have to buy a new tc the next day, but at least I didn’t have to walk out 12+ miles to pavement.

Head gasket repair is big business in the 6.0L Power Stroke segment. Whether the Super Duty its powering is straddled with GCWR-crushing loads everyday or has been modified via a programmer, winding up with a blown head gasket is pretty much a foregone conclusion. The dilemma for 6.0L owners is that the tight packaging of the engine within the ’03-’07 Fords isn’t exactly ideal for technicians to work on. This makes the job of replacing the head gaskets a laborious endeavor to say the least. For ultimate working space, the process of pulling the cab quickly became the preferred method of performing a head gasket job on a 6.0L, and to this day 9 out of 10 techs do things this way. But we’ve got news for you: You don’t have to pull the cab to work on this engine. And no, it doesn’t take any longer to perform the job with the cab in place.

I have a Skoda Yeti SE Outdoor, registered March 2016, with 36,000 miles. Skoda extras include skinny wheel, rear dog guard frame and ladder bars. The PCP ends in March 2019 (email arrived February). I was going to pay the lump sum and keep the car for another 12  months until I retire and then re-assess my options. I love the ‘different’ look, the flexibility of the car and driving it. But anti diesel rhetoric, higher diesel costs and falling sales are making me wonder if I should change it for a petrol engined car: a low mileage 2018 Yeti 1.2 turbo petrol DSG. I have also test-driven two others I like; a new Mazda CX-3 SE-L Nav automatic at only £19,000. It seems they want to get rid of them before the new Mazda 3 arrives. Also, a 2018 Volvo V40 T3 R Design automatic Nav plus (9,500 miles) at £17,000. I understand that a new V40 is due in 2019, hence the lower price. Both cars were enjoyable to drive and acceptable as alternatives to the Yeti. The Mazda is obviously smaller but that inconvenience can be accepted and I like its non-tub look. My question is, should I keep my Yeti for another 12 months and save the PCP payments I would normally spend to put towards a replacement in 2020. Or am I panicking about depreciation on my diesel Yeti and should sell this March? (PS – Following general advice in past Saturday Telegraph articles from Honest John,  I put a pair of all season tyres on the front of my Yeti ( 225 17R ) and it has definitely improve road grip.)

Just as a function of statistics: of the 104 claims paid this week; 24 were inflators, 35 were fuel pump covers (first week of those, and many of them were in stock units), 4 were door mechanisms, 4 were shift knobs, 2 were battery sensors, and 15 didn’t have any parts at all (software updates, mostly).

In the end Gearshift Sleeves Market Report delivers conclusion which includes Research Findings, Market Size Estimation, Breakdown and Data Triangulation, Consumer Needs/Customer Preference Change, Data Source. These factors will increase business overall.

The companies will work closely together to develop prototypes for an electric version of Hyundai Motor’s N brand midship sports concept car and a high-performance fuel cell electric vehicle with the intent to bring them to market.

The serious off-roader might want to consider a lift kit for even more ground clearance, and getting rid of those shiny new alloy wheels on the high-grade models for a set of smaller, wider rims with all terrain tyres. The mud wasn’t that deep, but the wading depth of 500mm isn’t as good as the best in class (Ford Ranger – 800mm).
