• Old Which? Road Tests 16 May 2003 (Forum)
  interesting ones in the loft you don't want? Be really amusing to read through them again knowing now what we know now of the average 1960s car. I do have loads of old Autocar/Motor mags but these mostly start around 1971 so the 1960s are poorly represented in my reading matter. Now if only Chris Watson

• Monthly Running costs for Used Cars 29 Nov 2000 (Forum)
  I'm trying to find out average monthly running costs for used (1-3 years old) cars - any ideas where to look? Car Mags are very good for data for new cars (insurance, pence/mile, depreciation, service costs) but I'm looking for similar data for used cars. I'm about to change jobs and will give up

• Vectra vs Signum 3 May 2007 (Forum)
  chassis, engine and interior? Is it this very reason that has led to the Signum to be considered a rather odd placed car in the market place?

  I usually buy cars at around 5 years old and get rid after 3/4 years service. Now I am not adverse to giving my cars a good wash when needed, however I feel some owners (usually the very young and very old) go overboard, washing and polishing every Sunday without fail and paying hundreds to get

  OEM part so had to go to a Fiat dealer. They said there were two possible replacements and neither were anything like what was on the car so they asked for the old broken exhaust to find one to match.

• EOS alternatives 11 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  SWMBO had an altercation with a little old lady at a roundabout which has ended in the little old lady admitting fault and SWMBO's 20 month old A2 being written off! The gap insurance looks a very good buy now! She wants an EOS but lead time is likely to be longer than the lengh of time she can
• Mercedes E320CDI Brake Pump Noise 14 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  when I put the key in the ignition (priming itself I guess!) and seems too noisy. I have had it checked by MB today and they say its normal and nothing is wrong.
