Petrolhead spiders cause Mazda recall

Mazda has had to recall 42,000 vehicles in the US after it emerged that a species of spider had been weaving webs in fuel vent hoses, increasing the risk of fuel leaks and fires. The yellow sac spider’s curious domestic activities cause a build-up of pressure in the evaporative fuel vent that – in theory at least – could result in a cracked fuel tank and therefore an increased risk of fire. This isn’t the first time that the Mazda 6 has received the unwanted advances of a gas-guzzling arachnid, either – three years ago Mazda had to recall over 50,000 cars for precisely the same reason.

2011 VW Sharan: Price and model detail

The VW Sharan 2011 - we have price and model details It was back at the Geneva Motor Show that we brought you news of the 201o VW Sharan, a complete reworking of the Sharan, this time on a VW platform instead of a shared Ford Galaxy one. We said at the time that we’d bring you more detail when VW sorted out price and model detail, but we didn’t expect it to take nearly eight months. Which is why we decided the headline on this story should reference the 2011 VW Sharan instead of the 2010 VW Sharan.
