is lying crippled either in their driveway or at their Renault dealer. All this in spite of Renault having a policy of supplying spares for vehicles up to 10 years old. Keep in mind that the newest cars affected by this problem are still only 6 years old and you see that it's not a particularly -
Suzuki Vitara 1.4 - All wheel drive 20 Apr 2023 (Forum)
about transmission windup, tyre wear differential and reliability? As we keep her cars for years I try to keep them simple. It’s annoying that such a basic question isn’t readily to hand but hopefully the panel will set me right. I put the chance of buying at less than 50/50 -

I was trundling to theTip, this Sunday AM - listening to the rat tat tat of the direct injection diesel and with a truly massive old CRT television in the back. (Of the little Punto car based van- that is) Dang! arrived an hour too soon so rolled up onto the motorway to blow out the cobwebs -

Mondeo or 9-3? 20 Mar 2006 (Forum)
I'm just about to start a new job and have been sent the company car list. There are just 18 vehicles on it, 12 of which are Ford. This is in stark contrast to my old company who would let you have whatever you liked as long as you were prepared to pay for anything over your allowance. The new -
About to buy a new Volvo? 30 Jun 2005 (Forum)
. This would have made a £22,000 car £15,317 new, from a dealer with 3 year warranty, free RAC cover, etc. You will not find a 1 year old Diesel S60 at a dealer for anything like as cheap, and this makes it a terrific bargain for those of you considering a BMW 3, Merc C Class, Audi A4 or even a Volvo S40 -

Hi, I would like ask if I can do anything to increase comfort of driving of my old CR-V (2009)? My current driving experience in this car is like driving a pick-up truck (driving is stiff / firm, lots of under the car noise, little like driving a tractor ), but CR-V is also -

This is not what I want as I agreed delivery in March (it suits me due to my current car will be 3 months short of being 3 years old and I feel i've added enough miles and use to make the most of the depreciation) The question is - what is the problem with me prepaying the dealer before Xmas
