• An enjoyable morning 1 Jul 2021 (Forum)
  you get close up and personal that you notice things, sure the alloys are starting to bubble in places, and , as mentioned the odd stone chip, but it’s in remarkable condition for its age, I was quite impressed with all the features, plenty of storage cubbies, fold out tables for the rear
• Seat adjustment. So little choice. 6 Aug 2020 (Forum)
  for the drivers seat. Allowing minute multi adjustment electrically and storage of that position and the side mirrors in a memory is invaluable. SWMBO being 5'3" and me at 6'2" meant a real problem if she left the seat in her position after using my car. However when opened with my master key the seat and mirrors

  in static storage tanks where there is not a constant circulation of fuel with a filter to separate it out? In other words, taking a stance where `condensation concerns` are paramount. How does that change over time?
• Volkswagen - excellent service from main dealer 16 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  , not at my request). Total cost? £347, which I think is pretty good. The car had also been well cleaned inside and out and was spotless. They even found a gold ring and one or two other bits and pieces and left them on the centre storage lid! I think the overall 'customer experience' was superb. Friendly
• Car has vanished into thin air! 29 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  indeed been stolen it would have to be towed. I find it hard to believe the car has been stolen (who would nick a 13 year 405? with a knackered engine?) and I'm worried that there's been some sort of admin error and the car is sitting in a yard racking up a massive storage charge. Anyone got any ideas?
• Bad diesel???? 24 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  and this fuel has been sitting in storage for months? and become contaminated? Did anybody else stop at this service station and fill up from the same pump (First on rhs) on Monday at about 12.30? Long shot! The problem may resolve itself when I next fill up, but it wont be for another 300 miles to ensure

• Ford Galaxy - Winter Tyres 14 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  they are worse than summer tyres. So bearing in mind the lack of snow in the U.K. and the amount of rain we have, I really do wonder if having winter tyres is safer or not. Add in the cost of a second set of wheels and hassle of storage and changing over not to mention the increased wear, are they of any real
• first impressions of my new Volvo XC60 D4 Auto 19 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  ! Seats are very comfortable and there is lots of storage. The rear seats folded flat for when I collected some gardening supplies and the remotely operated tailgate is a godsend when carrying things. All in all a very positive experience so far. I shall update from time to time as the ownership

  and the car can only be opened by using the key in the lock.  It seems like the car is in a factory mode where the alarm is automatically disabled after a period to prevent false alarms and discharged battery during transort and storage.  I sure I can get this fixed relatively easily by a ford

  of them, and there's only one adult so we don't need one. Most of the time it's only me and one young child. I love being higher up on the road, and ugly cars don't bother me. A tow bar would be helpful for the odd occasion we need storage. I don't want to drive a big car for the odd time we

  will then pay a visit to the garage to assess for himself.Cost unknown but not cheap I suspect. All this time the repairer will now be charging a storage fee which will probably be at least £50 per day. Add on the various expenses of the accident management companies involved and it is easy to see how a claim

  and viewed on the screen. The CD player hasn't been needed. It will store 20,000 track details, but I have found it prefers MP3 to WMA format. However, it is fiddly to get to on the move, as it mounted on the inner side of the centre storage compartment. * Storage pack in boot: side net, webbing, extra
• Skoda Roomster - Roomster vs Meriva... Small MPV Back to Back Test 23 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  other than an armrest (rather surprising as it's an inch wider over the body), the Roomster has a 3/4 seat so can be used occassionally. The Roomster seems to have more storage in the front, though the Meriva scores with fold down picnic tables in the back. The Meriva's boot space is a lot smaller
