    We’ve just got rid of an Alfa Giulia that we only had for 8 months and was no end of trouble! Traded it in against a 2018 Audi A3 1.5 TFSi S-line (manual) with 26k miles on the clock. Only had it a couple of days and it’s already concerning me… The clutch biting point is REALLY high, the pedal
  • Mercedes Estate - Dodgy Solicitors? 31 Aug 2021 (Forum)
    obviously have refused. This beggar`s belief! There is no reason for me to make a claim my insurers` behalf and underwrite the legal costs associated with it. Is it proper that this proposal should have been made at all by an established firm of solicitors, or is it a scam?     
  • Ford Focus - Garages/repairs 8 Jul 2021 (Forum)
    they already know what needs doing and say the part/s will be ordered beforehand. So why do I have to spend all day without transport for a job that takes 1-2 hrs? Im not counting jobs where unknown issues may crop up. If a job takes half the day max,  why cant i arrange to leave

  • Driving standards following lockdown 14 Apr 2021 (Forum)
    This isn't your typical "all the drivers around me are m****s" thread.  Or rather, I'm the m****. After hardly driving for a year, I'm very aware that I need to concentrate more on my driving as I restart.  As an example, I'd forgotten how to engage the cruise control

    on the outer wall so i have had to replace two of the four winter tyres after about 8000 miles . These were expensive Continental tyres and i was led to believe that the half inch difference in the rim diameter would not be a problem but given the damage , i am now not so sure . It ‘s a comfortable ride

    Dear All  My 2013's cars transmission failed at below 30,000 miles recently and it was confirmed by diagnostics. After reviewing all the online information and other reviews at Honest John it looks clear to me that this is a very common fault and maybe the manufacturer have breached
  • Volkswagen Lupo - Custom plates-cool and quirky or knobby and jerky? 18 Sep 2019 (Forum)
    The title says it all really. I knock about in my little Lupo when the weather's too s***e for the motorbikes.  Perfect little car for me, my missus is sick of not knowing what to get me n all, she suggested a funny number plate and we were able to find this gogo lup plate

    is an option but they are so long that I can see car park prangs (not by me) on the horizon. I have ruled out the Octavia due to horrendous noise in the cabin. Mazda CX5's seem to be so over priced for what they are and I'm not sure I can do the whole SUV thing. Noticed skidpan settled

    probably put a new one on, but reading all the info leads me to suppose it's a s*** job. I'm inclined to ask less and let someone else put a new starter motor on it. My husband thinks if the starter motor spins before it starts, no one buy it. Looking at other ads for Troopers (a brilliant tow car) we
