  • Drive the deal and dealer finance 1 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    Hi, We have pretty much made the decision to by a new S-Max as our old Galaxy has given up the ghost and although I have always been wary of financing cars, I am willing to do it for the peice of mind of a new, warrantied car. After shopping around, it would appear that Drive

    be read along with the number plate using an ANPR type system, mismatches between the two would be picked up. Any attempt to change such numbers would mean damaging the paint and thus respraying the area(s). Any evidence of a repair in this area would raise alarm bells for a potential buyer

  • free virtual beer! A new puzzle ;-) 22 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    I thought, let`s try a puzzle for a change - so here goes. A single photograph will identfy the object in question and two of the clues below are in the photo. Most clues - plus identification wins. For decades `they` (in the generic sense) had their own way (and at at one time
  • Mazda 6 - Mazda 6 TS EGR System 18 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    the problem is and have given up on it.  So I am at the stage where I take the chance and run the car with the light on or sc***e it.  Mazda Customer Service (when they eventually answered the phone) were dismissive and unsympathetic saying the car is outside it;s warranty and so they don't want

    Last week during servicing, dealer told me one of my tyres (front n/s) got a nail in tyres sidewall which was unrepairable [and I changed all tyres just 3 months back!] Since I had a full size spare wheel, I asked them to fit that as a replacement. Now my question is, can I

  • What motorway MPG for Transit sized van? 16 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    at 70/75MPH. The goods won't be heavy, just bulky. I'm hopeful of 30-35MPG based on the fact my old S-Max would get 45-48MPG at those speeds. Thanks
  • The bus as an alternative to the car -- pah! 15 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    , £ 3-80 each was higher than I though it would be. > The driver(s) seemed to be a surly type, barely a nod as you pay etc. > The bus was very jerky, both stopping & starting, though this could be the driver. > The driver appeared to corner as fast as possible. > Your fellow passengers include drunks
  • FIAT Grande Punto (2006 - 2009) - Recalls and insurance 12 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    issued a press release confirming along with the ABI that cover on their affected vehicles would not be affected.

  • Do we need more 4x4 commercial vehicles? 15 Jan 2010 (Forum)
    are available - e.g. Ford Transit, VW T5 Transporter. Despite the extra purchase cost and running costs, having a few on the fleet could make all the difference in weather like we've had lately. The same goes for larger goods vehicles - a 4x4 two-axle 18 tonner would be able to keep going where 4x2's

    in the passenger seat had an absolutely incredulous look on her face as I waved them off. That`s what you get I suppose when you are quite old and frail looking, even to yourself, with a long white beard. A nice `comeback` though, from when that young bloke a couple of years ago offered to help me change

    are so good and you can buy things that never seemed available on accessory shop shelves in the 60`s. Are you still adding or replacing tools, on a job by job basis like me? If so what are your latest acquisitions?
