A big debate at the moment is whether or not we should limit the top speed of our cars. We all know family and small cars such as the Vauxhall Corsa or the Renault Cleo have good speeds, good fuel economy etc. However some cars like the vauxhall vxr8 have 2 things they are concerned with: looks and power.

I love the vauxhall vxr8 however it does come with a 6 litre v8 vauxhall engine, which top speed will almost triple the speed limit. Also the 6 litre vauxhall engine will drink petrol compared to a family hatchback. The vauxhall vxr8 also comes with other car parts such as a vauxhall gearbox in either automatic or 6 speeds to help reach these high speeds.

If the limit was to be put into place the top cars would still have umph e.g. 0 - 60 in 4.9 seconds, but only up to the limit and in many peoples eyes this makes the car pointless to own since you cant fully flex its muscles. Im not sure about the limit since sometimes to escape a problem (for example a drunk lorry driver swaying) you need that extra few miles an hour to avoid disaster. Now there are several ways to do this, firstly make the limit above the speed limit but under deadly speeds, for example 90MPH or secondly make it annoying to go over the limit, e.g. a alarm sounds. This would mean you can go over the limit in times of crisis but you wont do it on a daily basis.

I personally hate cars on the motorway who do 100MPH, mainly because i will be overtaking someone doing 60 or 70 MPH on the motorway, however my car can only do 80MPH since it is old and only a 1 litre, thus a 100MPH car zooms upto my car and gives me about 1/4 second gap between my car and their car, thus becoming dangerous.

So in many ways i think it should be limited to a decent amount, but not the speed limit.

Of course those who want to break the limit will find a way to since if technology is in place to limit a engine, you can undo it and many backstreet garages will offer this service for a nice sum of money since were there is a will there is a way.

Also is there any other car parts we can use to limit speed, for example make the brakes kick in if going over the limit, or automatically apply cruise control.

CarSpareFinder is doing better each month, last months achievements were getting to number 2 on Google for the search term car parts, so we reckon we will be number one in no time.

The amount of requests has almost doubled since December and all is going well. we get calls from happy customers and suggestions on improvements which we work on to provide a better search term.

Now has never been so good to want a car part, or be a breaker (especially a vauxhall breaker, those vauxhall parts requests keep coming through strong).

Other news is our salvage site SalvageSpareFinder is picking up traffic and soon it will be fully functional will bidding auctions and vehicle salvage you would not believe.

So whether you a vauxhall breaker or not our site is on the up, were all really excited and cant believe how we are doing, its simply amazing.

I never understood the value of spare parts until yesterday. I have not had a vauxhall car spare tyre in my car for years, never thought i would need one. well i was wrong…

I was driving in my vauxhall vectra, nice and easy when i heard a pop. i thought i had ran over something. When i got out the car i had ran over a nail. figures. so now i have a flat tyre, so i go ok ill change the car tyre and ill be ok. so i get the car jack, pump the car off the ground, take the nuts off the wheel and the wheel off, i then go for my vauxhall car spare tyre which should be located under the boot and to my amusement it was not their and then i remember ages ago when i did the same, i replace the tyre but never replaced the car spare tyre.

so im stuck on a country road with no breakdown cover (i do now), no vauxhall car spare tyre, and no one around.

I end up waiting 50 minutes for someone kind enough to stop and tow me home in with a flat, before getting a bus to a garage and buying the first tyre i see which will fit.

So the moral of the story is that for the 40 GBP it would cost for a vauxhall car spare tyre i could have avoided ruining my Wednesday and would be better off. so if you need any car spares then get them today, try CarSpareFinder we are free. I am now going to stock up on all the vauxhall spare parts i need to ensure a smooth running year

So if you need any car spares, please just get them before it costs you in time or money.

The reason CarSpareFinder works so well is that people are always trashing or damaging cars and thus need spare car parts whether it will be used car parts or new car parts, there still needed.

Several reports around the web are stating there are fears since over 30% of all vehicles written off are too damaged to return to the roads and there is a increase every year in the amount of vehicles involved in accidents.

For most people this is bad news, but for us it keeps us in business. We can break car parts down and use them, we sell vehicle salvage at SalvageSpareFinder, all of which can be fully repaired and produce a profit.

Its much like doctors, although people being ill is bad news, if they were not then doctors and nurses would be out of business. or if people stopped committing crime we would not need policemen.

So if your unlucky and involved in a accident and need a spare car parts (used car parts or new car parts) then give us a go, or if you wish to check out our vehicle salvage then visit SalvageSpareFinder.

The legendary Aston martin vehicles starred in the James bond movies (latest one being the Aston Martin DBS) might not continue in the movies. Rumors have it that the new Jaguar C-XF (concept only at the moment) will be the new star.

The bond movies drag in allot of other car manufactures including ford who are still on contract for one more movie.

In any case the car will look stunning as always and will inevitably get destroyed and hopefully will end up on SalvageSpareFinder as vehicle salvage for us to do up and sell. in any case there will be aston martin car parts or ford car parts or jaguar car parts to go.

Remember on CarSpareFinder we can help you find car parts from a Ford Alternator to a Jaguar gearbox.

Anyway back to the Ford Edge it is a beautiful car and the delays have only been for quality assurance and we are guaranteed top quality cars and car parts from FORD.

Write i am off to do some Christmas shopping and unfortunately its not a new SUV, in fact i have no idea what tog et my love ones and I don’t think she would appreciate a car gearbox or car engine from me.

If your looking for a car with more safety features and which has just won the 2007 safety awards in the USA then look no further.

The Volvo XC90 has some special car parts including its active Bio-xenon lights enhance visibility, the roll stability control (RSC) keeps your car steady in sudden movements, The whiplash protection system helps reduce injury by cradling your body, the side impact protection system (SIPS) reduces the impact of a side collision by spreading the impact over a larger surface area and with extras such as side airbag and curtains it reduces injury. Finally a additional low cross member works to to help other parts of the cars crumple zone become active in a crash. These crumple zones, such as the bonnet, make collision have a less impact which in turn reduces the seriousness of the injury.

Well if your not impressed with the Volvo xc90 and its amazing safety car parts then tell us why, but from us here at CarSpareFinder it is a must, especially for the family.

For more information on the car visit the Volvo website

Since here at CarSpareFinder we are continuously trying to improve our site (constructive criticism is welcome) we have decided to add some new features to the site soon. I cant go into detail (otherwise i will have to kill you) but its an extra way to help users make a car parts request, whether it is a windscreen wiper to a complete car engine. Parts can also be new car parts and used car parts and of course the old ways of making a request will be in place, it is simply an addition to the current method to make it as easy as possible for the people who use the system.

We also intend to give the user more information on car parts and used car parts in case they are unsure about which part they need, or for the curious mind. So I cant tell you much more than that at this moment, but watch this space and you may see some changes in the site before Christmas (we obviously have to test our new methods therily before implementation).

If you have a car parts request, why not try CarSpareFinder, after all it is free.

The original and inventive Ford Taurus is saying goodbye according to several sources (including iluvmyford.blogspot.com). The car was never a big success in the UK however in the mid 1980’s was one of the best selling cars in several countries including the US and eve won a ‘Car of the Year’ award.

The car was marketed for the mid-sized sedan market which currently there is plently of competition and according to FORD the Taurus will be replaced by the Ford Fusion.

Although this car will be saying its fairwell speech it is no the end. There will be many ford tauruses as vehicle salvage and Im sure car parts will be easy tof find fr years and may even become collectables.

If you want some Ford car parts why not try CarSpareFinder, or if you wish to find some vehicle salvage then try SalvageSpareFinder

BMW has always stood for reliability and sexiness and for the man who can (and women who can). In the beginning the first BMW M5 model engines sold around 450 to 500 a year, the BMW V10 engine in its short period of time it has been in production has now sold over 200,000 units, a impressive feat and as such a lot of car parts.

The BMW v10 engine is a beautiful work of art winning the recent International Engine of the Year awards and who can argue with its 507bhp, up to 8,250rpm revs and great flexibility. The amount of car parts in the engine itself is astonishing and the amount of technology involved is outstanding.

BMW is the only manufacturer to have ever won in six categories and now owns a total of 26 awards. Well done to the BMW v10 engine.
