• Golf Mk2 - new or recon alternator? 20 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Hello, It looks like part of my alternator is not functioning properly, but I may need to replace the whole part. Since my car is now quite old (13 years), will a reconditioned alternator be sufficient? If so, will a garage even fit one or will I have to buy new? Any advice much appreciated

• Child allowed in front seat? 9 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  - Does anyone know if under-12 year olds can travel in the front passenger seat of the car, in Germany? (Even with a child seat fitted and seatbelt on?) I don't think it's allowed in France, and I'm not sure about the UK any more? I'm going on a long run up to Denmark next week and am thinking
• Autobox on Volvo S80 7 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I am asking on behalf of my friend. He is going to get a 4-5 year-old S80 2.4SE (170ps). The question is how many gears does the autobox have? Who makes the autobox? How reliable is the autobox? Volvo service schedule requires ATF change every 50k. As the car will have near 100k on the clock

• Auto Supermarkets 31 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I\'ve just started out on a search for my next wagon and wanted to ask if negotiating a purchase at the Supermarkets is the same as at a Dealership or from a private seller - or are the prices deemed so reasonable as to be immovable? One place I\'ve looked at is Jeffries Farm in Crawley. The cars

  Last night SWMBO and I walked through the local council estate as a shaven headed hulk bid goodbye to a streaky blonde in a car. Streaky blonde gives it lots of welly and disappears out of sight with a great noise redolent of tearing calico and neglect. Lots of little boys (2 to 4 years old

  I have a Citroen Saxo VTS that I recently took to a garage because there was a fault with the fuel gauge.

• Pathetic reasons for insurance rises 16 May 2003 (Forum)
  Just been on the phone to my broker, and the reason I have been given for my insurance going up this year is that I changed to a car that is in a higher insurance group during the last year. Maybe this proves that insurers have a different system of mathematics to the rest of us, as I'm sure 2
