  I've just bought a one year old i10 from a dealer.  The vehicle is very low mileage and was used by the dealer's umbrella company as a body shop courtesy car - it is literally in as new condition and everything is spot on except that the owners pack appears to have been lost. So
• Nissan CVT box in Primera 30 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  Does anyone have any experience of the CVT transmission used in Nissan Primera Mk3 cars (99 - 02)? I've read the car-by-car breakdown and nothing's flagged up there apart from it being slow setting off. What's it like to drive, and what's its reputation for reliability? (I don't think we're

  My wife has been given a 3 door corsa as a courtesy car and we need to fit a baby seat for our 2 year old so need to know the passenger airbag is disabled (she's too pregnant to be leaning in and out of the back). The guy that dropped it off said the airbag 'is probably disabled' and hasn't left

  Just a general question not really specific to the make of car. {sorted} The rubber door seals on our 11 year old Camry have perished in one place (maybe about a six inch strip) I'm getting a bit of extra wind noise now and was wondering if it was possible to self-repair
• Toyota - Late Service 13 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  I went to look at a car which looked good value, being sold by a main dealer. It was 13 months old/13,000 miles. Two things put me off - the first was that it had spent its year as a hire car and so the interior was a bit tired. The second was that it had been late getting its service (was due
