• Citroen Berlingo Multispace II (2008 - ) - HJ's road test has arrived! 18 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  post on mlj's thread. I was somewhat surprised at the comment "So instead of being quite good for a van, it actually is car-like to drive with a fine blend of ride and handling that belie its utilitarian looks." Personally, I thought that the old Berlingo was pretty car-like to drive with a fine
• £8.5k, economical hatch. 29 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Right, baring in mind that th.is will be about six months down the line, I'll be changing my car (6 year old, 1.6 focus) for a new (18 month old) small hatch. I've figured that with £8,500 (I've saved up) I should be able to afford a decent one? Trouble is I'll be wanting a diesel

• Good News, Sad News 26 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Good News: Renewed the insurance on the Camaro today. £336.79 same as last year. Not too excessive for a 160mph car. Sad News: Called at the local Sainsbury's to pick up some essentials. Sat in the car waiting for the boss to return with the wine, a lovely old Facel Vega crawled past
• Fabric upholstery cleaners 14 Jan 2023 (Forum)
  There don't seem to be many recent threads on this topic.  Are there any recommendations for refreshing 30-year-old fabric seats - there aren't many stains or serious marks, or damage, they just need brightening up a bit.  Non-smoker's car too.  Preferably without wetting
• MOT time 6 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  Today I took my 1996 Mercedes E300D for an MOT. I wasn't expecting it to pass, as it hasn't been used for 6 months on public roads. It was the third car in and the first to pass. The failures were a 2006 Corsa and a 3 year old Mercedes ML. The latter needs £600 spending on it to get

• Retaining private reg plates 12 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, I am thinking of part-exchanging my car and would like to retain the reg. plates which I bought for it a couple of years ago. Anybody tell me the process I need to go through for this - is it just a matter of refixing the old plates and informing the DVLA?
