• Narrowed car choice down to 3 - any opinions? 10 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  I'm looking for a car to replace my old Mazda 3 petrol.  The engine itself is flawless (it's on 105k) but the arches are starting to rust badly and for some reason it upsets me to see rust on my car since I take such good care of it. I've narrowed my choice down to the following
• ML 320 cdi 2007 - gear change failure 31 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  £1400 to sort.  There was no warning here apart from the sharpness on engaging gears in the pub car park as described. The car has only done 36K miles but is 7 years old and I wonder if you can tell me as to how common this problem is and should I be looking out for anything else that may happen

• Citroen Berlingo Multispace - category c do i need to get it repaired? 25 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  and new MOT, but could i get these two and sell it on without actually getting the crease repaired due to the fact that it is not deemed unroadworthy, i would sell it with full explanation of its category status, the car is 9 years old and only has 54k miles so it would last someone probably another 5
• Ford Mondeo - dealer sales conditions. are they normal 25 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  with any road tax. It's being used at the moment, so why no tax? Don't most cars like this come with at least some tax? Also, they've not tried any of the old "have to decide today to get this price". In fact they won't negotiate on price at all. However the price is a good one. They are saying though

  My folks purchased a new Nissan Micra Tekna 1240cc Automatic (on a 59 plate) late least year with a scrappage offer (despite now seeing their old car on the road since). However, their insurance now needs renewal and their existing company seems expensive. I have had a look at several price

• Selling car - questions 10 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  through the year (having sold the car) do I still have to pay the premium (I pay monthly) for the rest of the year? The motive behind all this is the car making me feel old before my time.

• EVO Magazine - getting worse? 15 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  . In fact if they do have an features on real value cars they seem to show the same old ones.

• All - navigation destinations 28 Apr 2021 (Forum)
  since I last used it. Surely it would be simple enough to have an industry wide format so that all GPS systems can export / import the 'Name', 'Lat', 'Long', 'Post Code' details irrespective of the old / new model of car.  That way it would not matter how an individual system actually uses
