Last TV commercial 'Meltdown'

Rough cost of repairing paint damage

Morning all , My 45 is currently sat idle as it has been for 3 years. Quite a bit of welding needs doing to the sills but a brake failure also needs investigating and repairing along with a few other jobs to get it roadworthy again. The car is currently at my in-laws , so working on it isn't easy at...

T-series in the HHR 400

Morning all , I was just wondering what the potential issues are with the T-series engine fitted in the HHR. I recall oil leaks being common but not a critical failure and something you just live with. I've had a 1.8 45 saloon for many years , I'd be interested to know how they differ in terms of pe...
