• VW Customer care ! ! ! 28 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I e-mail "Erwin" - the answer will be intersting when I work out how to e-mail him as the contact details refer you back to your county importer (Probably VW customer service in the UK) It does say something in the book about having technical information readily available to answer queries
• Global Cool ! 1 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  like switch the TV off at the wall etc are right on line. However saying things like *if you buy a Prius or a hybrid car it will save 3 tonnes of carbon* dilutes and detracts from these small though important actions that every one can take. Not everyone is in a position to be selective about the car

  about to be served was elderly (Honda Jazz, but that's not important right now). The exchange went as follows - Miserable Attendant- "What pump love?" Old Gent - "Sorry my dear?" M.A - "What pump love, what number?" O.G - "Oh, err, errm.. (looks through window).. number twelve" M.A
• Choosing a company car!!!!!!!!!!!!! 21 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  which is better to drive, which engine or level of equipment to get, the colour, the tax for benefit in kind and other things that affect them as an individual. Rarely do they consider the running costs, servicing costs, or depreciation. These are very important factors that people who use their own
• Class discuss 17 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  and tomorrow's another day, we all know that. Now then, Mobil 1 being the Holy Grail of synthetics, as we are led to believe by earnest young men in suits, why would I find today on the quart of 75w/90 gear oil (US import) I bought, a miniscule asterisk next to the "100% synthetic" claim, which when traced down
• Pet Hates volume 5298.4 22 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  : Impatient PFDs. Once I'd got in to the queue, some idiot in a Golf decided he was far too important to wait with the rest of us, so sailed down past us, though a hatched area, through a right turn for traffic coming the other way, the wrong way around and island and in to the much shorter queue to turn
• Picasso, Scenic or Another? 16 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  the size of a MKII Mondeo is big in her book and hence she doesn't drive the Omega. Being quite petite - 5'2, size 10, seat height, steering reach/rake adjustment and good visibilty are all very important to her and she's especially keen on a high seating position. With our intended budget of upto £7K
• Golf Mk 5 Buying Decision 10 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I currently run a Golf TDI 130 mark 4 model. I bought it new two and a half years ago as an EU import, after I had to hurriedly reject a new Mini Cooper. The Golf has been faultlessly reliable, there are no squeaks or rattles and the engine is smoother and zippier than ever. Running in took
• Potholes and Road Safety 29 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  . It is important to note that out of the road tax we pay, Ride found only 16% (approx) is actually spent on the roads. The rest is spent elsewhere, which means the money is there but is spent in my opinion fraudulently on something else. It is odd that if we give say a shop keeper a pound, they are legally made
• DC if you like, just me and my new car 15 Oct 2003 (Forum)

• Alfa 156 wipers? 9 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  I purchased a new Alfa 156 T Spark in November 2000, through an import company. During the first year I had various problems that were dealt with by the manufacturer's warranty. One persistant problem was the 'slapping ' of the windscreen wipers on the side of the windscreen. I took the car to CD
• Bye bye Xantia 9 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  and £330 fair, I'd guess since it's all working fine I should try something nearer the trade price. Parkers say that condition is more important than mileage on older cars. [Mark/Martyn, I'm not actually trying to sell it here, I've just put down the detail for advice, hope that's OK, otherwise please
