    model and spent quite a while assessing it's suitability in the event of my deciding to downsize from my CRV, since it provided excellent storage and passenger accessibility. Needless to say, their demonstrator was not there at that particular time, but I did drive the earler Jazz loaned to me
  • Rip-off Dealer only parts 27 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    OK, I've had my Citroen C8 for 5 months now and overall I'm really pleased. There are a few niggles, such as the storage compartments - although there are a multitude of them, they are all really odd shapes and can't fit anything regular in them (CD's for instance!) But, my clever (I had other

    possible that the car may have been scrapped, destroyed or placed in storage, and police have appealed to anyone working in scrap dealerships or other vehicle-related businesses to check their records since 2002 for any mention of the car. The vehicle has not been seen since it was reported stolen from
  • Insurance Write-off advice 23 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    it is not worth repairing!) but they want to take it to free and safe storage. The car has dents to the passenger door, a broken wing mirror, gouged bumper mouldings and a broken rear light cluster but it is driveable. I guess the parts and labour charges would soon add up to the £1000 or so it is worth
  • Navman iCN 510 or a Tom Tom? 29 May 2005 (Forum)
    I have a friend who is asking for advice and is about to buy SatNav, having looked at Tom Tom and the 510, on paper. He travels mostly in the UK (retired) with a few holidays in France. He likes the idea of post codes, roads at street level and voice prompts and the fact that the 510 has a storage
  • Citroen Berlingo Multispace - Dad-to-be swapping small van for a LAV - which one 20 Mar 2017 (Forum)
    have a big fetish for sunroofs especially that I've never owned a car with one since my first car back in 1997!) and has excellent storage options - I quite like the rear drop-down roof storage. Downside is the poor crash safety rating, poverty spec, and, well, the design is old from 1998
  • VW camper - Does this seem legit or does it ring alarm bells? 16 Oct 2018 (Forum)
    storage facility where he stores his actual caravan as well as the camper. Okay, fair enough..... The answer to the 'is it your name on the V5?' question was however a new one on me: It's apparently registered in the sellers cousin's name and is insured via the cousin's trade insurance
  • Toyota celica 2.0GT Convertible (import) - Autobox pulling away in 2nd gear 14 Aug 2018 (Forum)
    I haveva 1995 GT Convertible which only gets used in the summer months. Just got  it out of storage and it's trying to pull away in 2nd gear if in D or 2. If I select L on the selector I get 1st gear then it will pull away in 1st and change up to 2nd ?when I go to 2
  • VW Polo 9N3 - Towing with a Polo 20 Jun 2017 (Forum)
    been able to use since my tow-car died a couple of years ago - it's just stood in storage, costing us money.  The caravan is quite light in weight - about 675Kg. It's a Silhouette Swift Diamond which has an aluminium chassis and was easily towed by my Peugeot 306 2.0 Hdi. I don't believe

  • Problems with Sursell? 17 Feb 2011 (Forum)
    storage fees. I've already bought my new car and need that money - pronto. My point of view is if BCA choose to give some buyers leeway it's up to them to 'take the slack' and not leave me hanging.  Their whole selling point is that that the seller doesn't get messed
  • Audi A4 B8 - ipods 7 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    served to confuse me even more. The Dealer will supply the appropriate cable once I tell him what storage device I've purchased. But which is best? Ipods seem very expensive and the manual says you can use memory sticks or MP3 players as well as Ipods. The assistant in Currys seems to think
  • Would ye stop doin' that, would ye? 11 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    chewing gum and ramming it into the ashtray or door pocket 6. Yanking on the door storage bin instead of the grab handle 7. Shutting the door like some kind of badly-trained zoo animal: Hefty slam / timid push / nervous dab at the door frame with (smeary) fingertips /totally ignoring door handle

    really went to work. The bright red interior is all leather with matching red carpet. The VIP cabin has four electric seats, LCD screens, electric table and storage compartment and a sound system worthy of a Kiss concert. And the amazing air-conditioning system, more suited to the climate of Dubai than
  • Aircon maintenance - R12 and options 21 May 2007 (Forum)
    I have three pre-1993 cars with aircon systems which use - as originally installed - R12 (Freon) refrigerant. One car has been in storage for some years and the a/c has not been regularly run. I fear therefore that it will at least need a check and top-up. And eventually, so will the other two
  • best cheap to run & resell Van? 15 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    be looking at? Low running costs, low insurance & easy resale value. Or maybe a real cheapy on it's last legs? Dunno. Or maybe I don't really need something colossal-suppose I could stuff sofa's into storage (next door neighbours have a huge Luton thing-get all the sofas etc in there & I know they'd help out
