Default Known Car Faults.

I seen on here a while back a website where you could search for a car and it would tell you the known faults.
It was quite a comprehensive database, does anyone have the website please.

Cheers Ant.

There is some government site to check for recalls too.

I find HJ quite a useful comparison site. Parkers also have similar reviews.
