• Any - True Cost of Motoring. 5 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  suspect many people do not know the true cost of running their car. The other evening I pulled into my drive when someone I know vaguely was walking by. He made the comment “You must be a rich man”! I queried this and he said “To put the petrol in that car”. That car is an old (sub

• How much power do you want and why? 26 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  eastbound over the pennines at 40MPH in 3rd gear. Of course all that is forgotten about these days with modern cars, but i was reminded of it reading a forum on LDV (old post office) vans. They were aware of Shap and it reminded me of old times. So i guess i`m quite contented with little, in terms of power

• Ford Focus brake pad wear indicator? 1 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Does anyone know whether a 4 year old Focus has a warning light (or possibly audible warning) for front pad wear? Reason for asking is that my Sister-in-Law's car failed it's MOT allegedly for worn front brake pads. The Ford dealer insisted that the pads would need replacing for the car to pass
• Getting my 17 year old on the road 3 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  I'm facing the dilemma of many parents. My son is coming up to 17 and keen to get onto the road. I've got about £5k to get him started - car plus insurance. I am totally unclear about how to tackle this - should I buy a car once he has passed his test (and his pass plus)? Should I buy him a car
• New Mini polarizes opinions 6 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  was younger. I would not buy an old mini now because they are unreliable and rusty and our second car does 40 miles a day. I love the new Mini - it looks cute, is well built, well engineered, fun to drive (not blindingly fast but the old one wasn't either), keenly priced, should be reliable, reasonably
• Audi Q5 - Webuyanycar 22 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  My car is three years old in a week’s time. Do you think that the warranty expiration in 7 days time will have a significant impact on the offer they’ve made for my car?

  89-year old father had a stroke last August which affected his peripheral vision in one eye.

• Temporary Car - 18 year old 4 May 2004 (Forum)
  year old, thanks to the appalling driving of others my age. Is it illegal to contact my own insurance company and asking them to cover me in my dad's car for a week? I suspect that the answer would be yes, as technically the car would be insured twice! Taking public transport is impossible

  My father is giving some thought to getting rid of his older Forester and taking over mine. You may recall how he bought mine for himself and then decided he preferred his old one, so handed the newer one to me. Anyway, that leaves me without a car, obviously, as I don't want his old Forester

• air-con on 1yr old Corolla 22 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I bought a one year old Corolla, 1.6 auto, which I am very happy with. Its my first car with air con, and I must admit i cant seem to get it very cold in the car at all (if you have an air jet directly on you its cold, if not it doesnt feel that cold at all)! At first my Dad said it would need re
