• Citroen Synergie (1995 - 2002) - 2000 2.0 engine undertray fell off - replace? 16 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  My Citroen Synergie HDi has thrown it's under engine tray (plastic) on the M5, and I'm half thinking "Is it actually worth replacing?" Does anyone have an opinion on these strange and wobbly bits of plastic under our cars? Are they vital? Love the car though, superb old bus. If you lot think I
• Ethical decisons when buying a car 6 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Have you ever made let 'ethics' influence a car-buying decision ? (and I'm not really thinking about an obvious one, like buying British-built ). I'm asking this because when I saw the Chinese 'bodyguards' to the olympic flame, it made me think I wouldn't buy a Honda Jazz/Fit made in China

• Disposing of a LHD car in the UK? 22 May 2007 (Forum)
  A friend of mine is relocating from France back to the UK. He'll be getting a nice shiny new LR Discovery as a company car back in England. Problem is: how does he get shot of his 3yr-old left-hand drive French-registered Vectra GSi? It's worth more in France, but he hasn't got the time

  Hi, Quick question - have moved on from the idea of an older diesel as my next car, and contemplating a W124 (petrol) - fab build quality, should be effortless to tour around in, and cheap (well relatively, for a 10+ year old car) Owners clubs historically have a fantastically over-inflated view

  I've seen previous threads on GAP insurance, but no strong opinions on whether it's advisable. However, my question is: must GAP insurance be taken out when the car is purchased? Most insurance companies do new-for-old for the first year for a new car, which seems to obviate the necessity
