• Mondeo woes again 9 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  gone and that was what they fitted and all ok, but you have two more, one for each bank of cylinders (2.5V6). It would appear that one of these has now gone. I understand that the newer V6's have only one. Is it possible to fit some spool pieces in way of the smaller cats and remove them totally
• Price guides 21 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  How accurate are price guides such as Parkers or What Car? According to the current issues a Fiat Ulysse 1.9 TD S 97 on a P plate from a dealers in good nick and mileage would go for about 6.8k to just over 7k depending on which guide you look at. A local dealer to me has one on at 8.5k - no air
• What Car? 19 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  I?ve just returned from a meeting with a personal tax client who was wrestling with an interesting car choice dilemma. He?s resigned a senior management post that came with a company XJ8, to work on a self employed basis helping set up a new venture in financial services, so he needs to buy some

• nissan micra s auto 2001 - advice on what to get sorted? 23 Nov 2024 (Forum)
  paid for itself in a way. It has showed it's s*** side a couple times whilst I've had it though; it broke down slap bang in the middle of the road from the old battery going bad, it also cut out being put from park to drive on a dual carriageway (pulling off from a layby) however sprang
• Auction visit 3 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  £1,600 fees - if a private buyer. Too much money. 2015 Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSi SE 5dr - 54,000 miles. Tidy car but had poorly matched o/s wing repaint. Made £5,500 plus fees. Good car for someone who’s not too fussy. 2017 VW Golf 1.6 TDi S 5dr 103,000 miles but tidy and with good history. Made £5,850
• Extended Test Drive of a BMW 520d 9 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  although I wasn’t that keen, I decided to drive an Audi A S-Line as a comparison to the BMW 5 series. Anyway, the BM was delivered and had circa 5,000 miles under its belt so was loosened up nicely. Initial impressions on driving it away were underwhelming. I was expecting a lot but it just felt a bit

  Marketplace.  I am not going to go into the details of the transaction but I was obviously fleeced and he did a pretty good job at making sure I had no concerns.   The car was advertised as CAT S and advertised at a lower price to reflect this. The guy had some paperword for the car
• Van owners: LPG is dying, let's talk biomethane! 24 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  market with favourable tax rates.     But biomethane is coming to the rescue, sort of. Biomethane is functionally the same as methane and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). It's very eco-friendly. Made of straw bales, cow s*** and other things. Burns even more cleanly than LPG and bioLPG
• Mini - ALL - Clock ticking on condition based services 3 Jul 2021 (Forum)
  While the condition based usage adopted by Mini & BMW can be useful if you are a low mileage driver, there is a massive flaw in the system.  Last year we bought a 'new', unregistered F55 Cooper S, reg in June. Today, the oil change warning appeared on the Mini app. Mini recommend

Insurance have offered £1475 for the car (already having raised that from £1100) and claim that is top book price, but I can't see
