• BMW 3 or 5 series? 1 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  I have a budget of £6 - £8000 to spend on either a 3 or 5 series beemer. It seems, to the un-educated eye, that you now get a lot of 2nd hand car for not a lot of money. The confusing things are the choice of models, where to buy from and also high mileage and less £'s or low mileage and more £'s

• Creaking Suspension - Y Reg Vectra 11 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  It\'s been happening for a while now - the front suspension creaks. This happens when I go over the speed bumps in the work\'s car park - five of the things - which I cross at about 10~15mph. It also happens on the speed reduction bumps and tables on the highway. I thought that the creak
• HDi 110 or 90 (Citroen diesel) 26 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  How do I tell the difference between a Xantia HDi 110 and a 90? I've been looking at various classifieds and dealer sites that offer Xantia that are supposed to be 110's and turn out to be 90's. As an aside, I've found one dealer offering a vehicle at one price on AutoTrader (as a Xantia LX
• Road sign madness 12 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  Are all councils as road sign crazy as South Gloucestershire? There\'s some moron in the highways department who believes in littering the entire county with road signs. An example is one of the approaches to Chipping Sodbury which has 40 Limit, then 30 Limit, roundabout with associated direction

  Approximately 9 months ago the engine of my 2007 Mini Cooper S started making a rattling noise on start up. I took the car to a Mini service garage who informed me that there was no oil in the car, however the oil warning light had not come on. I have regularly checked the oil since

• Volkswagen Passat (1988 - 1997) - S reg. 1.8T auto: any use over 100k? Price? 6 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  My Iraqi buddy whose car has been trashed needs, of course, another. He told me yesterday he had seen a Passat 1.8 auto with 110,000 miles on it for sale outside someone's house. I am not sure what S reg means in terms of age though. If it is pre-1998 the asking price of £2,400 sounds a bit steep
