• Little things that prevent a purchase 27 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  My cash was ready and waiting, price almost right, deal nearly done. Then I got put off by the smallest of things. The Colt CZ1 is almost 2 years old with no problems (apart from a few rattle in the dash), with the Mitsubishi service deal at £150 it doesn't cost much to trade in for exactly

• Radiator losing water 19 May 2003 (Forum)
  Hi everyone, I drive an F-reg Vauxhall Astra, which causes me no end of grief, being an old car and all. I threw a piston last year, so had the engine replaced with a G-reg 1.4 Cavalier engine. My radiator is 3 years old, and I've already had the water pump replaced this year when it packed up

• Any - Breakdown cover 20 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  Hi, just received my renewal from Autoaid. Last year was £61 now it’s gone up to over £78 plus if your car is over 10 years old I would have to pay the first £25. Not that impressed with that sort of increase. Wondering what other people are seeing in their renewals. Sparky 100.

• BMW X3 30d - Intermediate oil changes 17 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  I will be collecting an 18 month old X3 at the weekend with 7000 miles on the clock. With my previous 330d I changed the oil every 7500 miles and I was planning on continuing this with the new car. Is there any reason not to? I didn't know if it was better to let things bed in.

• C3 picasso exclusive - internal lighting 2 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  I have recently taken delivery of a new C3 picasso exclusive, and when I open any door the internal lights do not come on. Is this a fault or just a matter of adjustment. I have never come across this in any car I have ever had. There is no mention of this in the manual.
• Infotainment 30 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  Leafing through a magazine at the supermarket I came across an editorial where the author was burbling on about Infotainment as though it was an essential attraction to make him/her buy a car.  I don't really know what infotainment is - blame old age - but aren't there enough distractions
