  My wife and l like automatic petrol engined cars in a roomy MPV bodystyle, not SUV. Over the yaers, we have got used to Japanese cars with approx 2 litre engines, but to get one now you have to either 'buy old' or 'buy import'. Today we tried this 2016 Zafira. It  was quite pleasant but I

  I have a 8 month-old VW Touareg, bought new, now done 7,000 miles. The panoramic sunroof has developed a leak and needs replacing. The dealer carrying out servicing/warranty work for me isn't the selling dealer - but they want to fit a complete re-manufactured sunroof under warranty

• Ford KA, KA2, KA3 (1996 - 2008) - What do I do about rust on a 4.9 year old car? 20 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  My Ford Ka was bought in September 2003, so coming up to 5 years old. On the underside of the sill on the driver side, there is rust bubbling through everywhere. The underside of the sill on the passenger side, while by no means perfect, is pretty good. 1) Why should it be so much worse
• Volkswagen T2 Bay Window (2000 - 2007) - Bleeding brakes on old car without foot-pedal 23 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Hi - have to bleed the brakes on a 1972 camper van but don't really want to depress the footpedal too much for fear of damaging the seals by pushing into rough places they have not been for years and ending up with a very expensive master cylinder replacement - this happened on another old car I
• Car Warranty 3 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  yearly Ford dealer service. The cause of my confusion is when I recently attempted to part/ex a two and a half year old Focus. The dealer told me it may not have come with a 3 year warranty if it had been a company or lease car (it was) as often they are bought in bulk with one year warranties. I had

• Driving old clunkers. Why not? 28 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Purring along the Chester High Road at 70 mph on the Wirral last night in my 10 year old Volvo 740 SE, I wondered how a newer, more modern car would feel. How could it be better? Bob Harris on the radio, memories of grilled mushrooms with Brie and bacon as a starter, rib-eye steak, perfectly
• Temporary Insurance 20 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I had a bit of a runaround which I disposed of recently, and cancelled the insurance, but as it expired in May I got no refund. No matter, I've now bought a new car for my wife, and want to insure her old one for a couple of months. If I'd been sensible and not cancelled the policy last month I
• 'Wrong' reg on insurance - car tax 1 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I tried renewing my tax disc online last night, only to find that no record existed on the 'insurance database'. "What!!!", I thought - then realised to my horror that I'd not mentioned the car's personal plate change to my insurers. The certificate of insurance still has the old registration
• Staying power 28 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  I like to take notice of older cars to see which makes go on and on but still look tidy. I wonder which cars are best for long term ownership, I guess it will be the usual suspects like BMW or Volvo, you see loads of older ones of these but rarely see an old Mondeo or Citroen Bx, lots of VW's

• any comeback form a trade in? 4 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  Hi,  I've been having a few intermittent problems starting my old car smoothly (i.e. it turns over for a while before it fires - nothing too bad, but indicating something amiss), so thought the time was right to get a new car.  Got a new car from an independent dealer and traded my old
• Transfer of Reg Nos 10 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, I just got myself a new reg and was wondering what happens when I come to sell my car and transfer it to the new car. I understand the process about transferring my new reg to the new car but what happens to the old car as it won't have a reg no anymore? As I understand it, once I've put
• Should I opt out of Co. car? What car to get? 19 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I?m considering opting out of my company car scheme as the price of year old cars has never made opting out a real option for me. I do 35-40k a year (25k business) and am considering buying a year old car. Vectra?s seem to be around the £7k -£7.5k mark of you go diesel, £6k for a petrol. I get

• New old-shape Vectra 1.8LS for £8100 OTR 19 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  offered at £2100 for my car, which I think is pretty good. Question is, is it worth buying an old-shape model (I can't see how it can be worth paying £6000 more for the new-shape over the older model?) with the new one out?
