  • Insurance claims 12 Aug 2008 (Forum)
    My son was involved in a (relatively minor) incident but which involved a personal injury claim from a pedestrian who simply ran out from between cars in a dark garage forecourt. In our view the pedestrian?s behaviour was absolutely reckless, whilst the most important thing is that the outcome
  • Mrs Nsar is looking to change - suggestions please 9 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    . If she does switch what would you go for with the above criteria - badge is quite important so Kia's etc whilst they may be admirable cars are not going to get a look in Thanks as ever.
  • Advice on a car for us! 30 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    and VED are of prime importance - to the exclusion of pretty well any other criteria. So - should we keep our Fabia (LHD) in the UK? Generally used car prices here hold up well compared to the UK, so selling here and starting afresh might be a good option. We will not be doing huge mileages in the UK
  • C1/Aygo/107 - Realistic option 16 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    100mph - cheap motoring is more important to me than looking cool (although I have to look respectable for my job), but I am conscious that my Saxo is on the edge of looking silly with me in it.... Help...!
  • Boshi Oil Filter 18 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    Milner are a long-established operation, and they say that they can sell at this price as they import themselves and buy in bulk. They say that they have never had problems with them. The filter looks well-made, with a plastic membrane over the "business end". Yes, I know you have to remove it before
  • Would ye stop doin' that, would ye? 11 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    and shoving the window glass 8. (All time favourite!) Yanking the rear view mirror towards SWMBO to check lippy, at least half an hour before reaching destination and imminent (apparently deadly-important) social event, such as tea at Aunty Flo's. Have I missed any??
  • Nissan Cube (2002 - 2008) - or Cubic, views and suggested alternatives 21 Sep 2007 (Forum)
    expensive - £6000 - £7000 for anything up to 50,000 km. As far as I can gather this is because they are imported used from Japan. Has anyone any experience of owning one of these or any advice that you may offer? What alternatives are there in the UK - stylish design with enough space for two adults, three
  • Mitsubishi FTO...Wow! 21 Sep 2007 (Forum)
    by comparison. And the build quality seems superb. Has anyone had any experience of these models? I understand that they were never sold in the UK by Mitsubishi and all the models here are imports of secondhand models. Anything that I should be aware of, I must say I am mightlily impressed, he couldn't get
  • Driving long distances 20 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    loss of concentration (important on the german autobahns), we could do the trip in a day (albeit a long day - we can arrive when we like when we've got our own pad). I'm not interested in discussions about whether we are taking the quickest route, just curious to tap into other peoples experiences
  • How cheap does a Lacetti have to be? 12 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    My parents are considering replacing their 4 1/2 year old Focus 1.6 Flight, now coming up to 80k miles. They will not consider any of the following:- i. buying a nearly-new car from a car supermarket or even a main dealer; ii. buying a new import (fair enough - they're not cheap enough
  • Lucky Caracas 25 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    round the controls on oil imports. But what do I know? Had I the slightest interest in the well-being of Caracas residents I would urge them to repudiate this deal immediately. The last thing they want is fools building rubbish all over the road to hamper traffic flow and jimmying the traffic lights
  • 97 P11 Primera cowl cover 26 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    on the driver side, upper coner near the edge of the cover. I'm not sure how important this pin is as it is close to the edge where the cover is held by the windshiled side weatherstrip anyway. I presume these should be available from the dealers ? Or are any motor factors good for automotive plastic fastener
  • 156GTA/Mits VR4 18 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    the answer to yet, but I'd be surprised if I'm willing to spend more than £10k, and probably less than that. Price to run on the other hand isn't quite as important, I'm not made of money but I'm currently driving a group 19 car which does an average of 25mpg, and I can accept that.
  • Avoiding Pothole damage 7 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    area out of the way of traffic. While this may further damage the tire, it is not as important as your safety.
  • Ka Questions 25 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    warned that this is a Ka trait) but I don't suppose that's any indication. Can the car be locked from the inside? Is the boot permanently locked? I can't find a way to leave it unlocked and it doesn't seem to unlock with the central locking. Not exactly important, just a bit odd
  • Which SUV to replace diesel estate? 26 Aug 2005 (Forum)
    that important, but it manages mid 30s on the combined figures. For £20,000 I can get a brand new one with all the toys, some £13,000 less than the Volvo or the VW. Are there any other cars I should be considering before I sign on the line?
  • Your opinions please? 15 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    importance I have been listening to the same Radio Stations and driving on the same roads for about ten years now in three or four different cars and I certainly dont remember experiencing this in them. In fact it takes me back to when i was a kid in one of my Dad's many Rover 2200s, since I recall
  • Filth! 31 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    or village you've entered, but important ones like on major junctions, no entry, speed limits, double bends, cameras etc. There are some that have been so obscured by filth they might as well not be there. Or the rural ones left to be overgrown by trees so they are either hidden, or barely readable under
  • Hj Media Appearances 1 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    for the sake of 1 fatality is getting the balance wrong. Some of those people will have something essential to do. Collective misery for thousands to gather evidence for a careless driving offence that will almost certainly be dropped seems pointless. So yeah. Investigation of fatals is important
  • What Pickup? 13 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    (the business will be a partnership). 2 What is the most car like pick up (Nissan Navara, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L200, Ford Ranger, etc). The nature of the business means that traditional issues such as towing capacity and load handling are less important than road refinement and handling. We
