  • Citroen Xsara Picasso - Old story: Car hit by possibly uninsured driver 12 Mar 2012 (Forum)
    concerned with no positive result and left, commenting that there was only property damage.  It now seems possible that the third driver was uninsured.  As I understand it, if thie third driver was uninsured, my relative has to buy a replacement car with only the scrap value of the old one
  • Ineffective Aircon - Rover 220 17 May 2004 (Forum)
    is that the old car may have had the "old" type of refrigerant (whatever that is), and the new car a different, less effective, type. I'm not aware that the old car ever had its refrigerant replaced but the new one certainly has. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, Mark

  • Gearbox failure - 5yr old Seat Ibiza 2 Feb 2006 (Forum)
    Hello everyone, I'm new here. I have a problem that I think someone can help me with. I have a Seat Ibiza, 5 years old, but only 28000 miles. My dealer has told me that I need a new gearbox and clutch. I don't disbelieve them, but I am sure that this should not happen with this low mileage. I want
  • Volvo S40 old model 26 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    Went in an 04 reg Volvo S40 1.9d yesterday. Is the very intrusive engine noise a characteristic of these cars? There were three of us in it doing a trip on urban roads and the engine noise in the cabin was so loud I could hardly hear what anyone was saying. I was also concious of having to raise

  • Upmarket cars - Leather car seats......why? 21 Nov 2022 (Forum)
    I wonder why, in this age of comfortable durable fabrics, the expensive preparation and treatment of cattleskin is widely used for car seats and surroundings.  Very few would choose it for  chairs in the home - why in cars?  I much preferred the fabric of my old cars
  • Two cars, one NCD 27 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    As a result of getting an unexpected car (other thread), I'll have to sell one our current cars. If it takes me a few weeks to sell the old cars, I'll have to get some insurance for the new one and old one, I'm guessing on the same policy? Can't really open a new insurance as the NCD
  • ALL - LED HEADLIGHTS & NIGHT DRIVING 24 Feb 2024 (Forum)
    The recent;y announced crack-down on eyesight testing, especially among the elderly (and I count myself as one!) has more than likely been made as a result of the modern trend to fit LED headlights to new cars, and also to retro-fit old ones. Virtually everybody I know, old and young, complains

    47yrs ago) until I could remove the rotten 41 year old six inch rubber pipe connecting the tank outlet to the fuel line.  Fortunately I had a spare length from a similar sort of repair on another car back in the mists of time which, after immersion in boiling water, softened up sufficiently to fit
  • No stock - orders only 13 Sep 2009 (Forum)
    Ceed. Skoda supposedly have limited stock of the Roomsters. Toyota supposedly have limited stock of the Auris. Some models of the Jazz are order ony.

  • Espada's new car 16 Nov 2006 (Forum)
    as cassette players - very useful with young children. Costing £15,500 plus the old car. I get it next week. I can't wait to get behind a creamy flat 6-cyl engine with five speed tiptronic. No change in insurance costs and probably no worse economy...... I'll keep you informed.
