• Company Car - Keep/Sell own? 14 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  I stand a chance of a job which comes with a company car (Passat 1.9 Tdi) I have a 2 month old C4 Picasso with just over 2000 miles on the clock. It is a 2.0HDI Exclusive with EGS. Having both is not possible. So, bearing in mind the permutations of tax on co' car, available for private use
• Bland cars 8 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  up 12 year old Pug 306 with heavy clutch, rattly bits and pieces and no aircon but what a joy to drive after the Nissan. I'm sure the Nissan was safer, more economical and it didn't smell as if it was running on coal dust but how can any manufacturer produce a car that is so utterly bland?
• Physical Car Security Device 23 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, My old corsa was nearly nicked but I managed to chase them off and now I'm looking for a car lock as I need to keep the car for at least another year. I was looking at the market and found it hard to find reviews on the current models. Are the Autolok 2000 plus or EXS the best steering locks
• Why does it take 12 weeks to make a car? 5 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I'm not the world's most patient person, I know, but isn't a 12 week wait a bit excessive for my new car? I can accept maybe there's a bit of a delay because it's a popular car, and maybe it takes about a week or two to get it through the factory line and finished off, but that would only account
• Car Wars 16 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  A couple of things caught my eye in tonight's Car wars program. 1. The "unmarked" Impreza the police were using had 4 huge aerials mounted on a square plate in middle of roof. Even from a distance, that would say to me - unmarked police car!! Are these aerials used for tracking tracker-type

• First Car?? 10 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  Hello all, I just thought that i would try and get your ideas on what you would consider as a sound first car for a 18 year old bloke. I have thought about the usual cars such as Novas and Fiestas however i feel that they are far too common and the youngsters that drive them have given them a bad
• KIA Rio (2005 - ) - CDRi - Should I buy one 14 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  Hello, This is my first post, so bear with me if I have posted this in the wrong area. I'm looking to trade in my Seat Ibiza 1.9tdi Sport PD 130. I bought this car when it was 2 years old and I have owned it for the past three years. It has been a troublesome car and has cost me a lot of money
• MOT query 29 Feb 2020 (Forum)

  Hi everyone, Very pleased to have discovered this site, I need some buying advice please. I currently have a Mitsubishi ASX petrol SUV which i bought originally for cash when it was about 9 months old and is now just over 3 years old and I am looking to part ex
• Ford C-MAX - New Grand C-Max 1.6TDCi - poor performance 13 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  no pull at all. 2nd Gear is not much better, and 3rd gets bogged down very easily. It makes driving up hills and getting out of junctions very tricky. On the whole it feels laggy and unresponsive, like the car is deliberately holding back. I realise the Grand is a bigger, heavier car than my old C-Max
• Toyota Aygo (2005 - ) - Toyota Aygo Blue OR Ford Ka? 27 May 2009 (Forum)
  I really need to start thinking about replacing my old car, and with the new government scrappage scheme, this seems like a good time. My current small car is a 1998 Nissan Micra 1.3 GX, but it really is starting to get old. It struggles to hit 60mph, it has a very poor safety rating, the fuel
• Insurance on the rise?? 1 May 2008 (Forum)
  up in price along with everything else? The figures I was getting for new cars just makes me think I should go for whatever slightly older (but newer than mine) thing I feel like given that there doesnt seem to be a huge difference in their prices - £700 is crazy for an old Ka and I fear if my policy
• Service interval - Ford Mondeo 22 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  garage would be ok as far as the warranty was concerned and they said it was ok, no problem. I am now wondering when I should have it serviced next. Should it be on the anniversary of the first service, i.e. May 2007, or should it be when the car is 2 years old, September 2007 ? I only do about 8,000
• What causes Road Rage 31 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Driving along minding my own business, right speed, right lane, aware of other road users etc etc. Travel round a roundabout keeping in my lane and overtaken by hooting and gesticulating car and driver plus wife and 2 kids in the back. The wife points the naughty finger up at me and the husband
• Why do people.... 24 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  are justfied? They never get put near schools/hospitals/old peoples homes. They are always on clear, straight roads where you can do 60mph but they put a 30mph limit up 3 days before the camera appeared. Revenue earners. nuff' said. Buy new cars? They lose a shed load in value in 2 minutes of being off
• WHERE WERE THE OLD FORD FIESTAS BUILT? 26 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Hi, My sister has a 1999 T reg Ford Fiesta which i think is the MK4? I have been considering an MK5 and I did a VIN number check on both these cars and it said Origin as 'GERMANY' - does this mean where it was supplied from - i.e. grey import or does this mean where it was built... What confused
• My day. 10 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  Aroung July each year I have a bad day, a very bad day, Today was that day. The worse car I look after comes for its yearly MOT/service. It's a 10yr old Seat Terra. For those lucky enough never to have noticed one they are cheap copies of a Fiat Panda in van form. If you have any concerns about
• All cars - Administration charges - why are they allowed? 28 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  Im aware that quite a few car sales garages are adding circa £200 administration charges to their cars both old and new. Now obviously with haggling ( i said id walk and find a dealer who does not charge extra rather than pay) you can get it removed. However how many people are too timid to just
