• Old car vanished from DVLA records? 20 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Trying to see if my old car is still on the road. I checked with the government tax website and it says car cannot be found. The reg and make is correct. However it has records for all the cars we have had since 1984. What would cause the DVLA to suddenly not have a record of it? I am just
• Grumpy old man thread. 10 Mar 2005 (Forum)

• Insurance for my 17 year old? 20 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  Can anyone point in the right direction for the cheapest car insurance for my 17 year old boy.
• Car Wash - Snow Foam or Old fashion method 15 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  Noticed a few 'Car Wash by hand' are starting to use Snow Foam in place of the old method with detergent and sponge. Although the foam will save on the scratches and swirls from a sponge, but will clean as well. I've read that the foam is basically a lower form of TFR. What
• Old boys cars, (well preserved) 12 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Does anyone in the trade ever see mint `retirement cars` 15yrs or so old, yet like new? I see what I assume are retirement cars now and then, driven by a younger driver, perhaps inherited? Often 15 years old and yet looking as though they have never seen a winter, or stood out in the summer sun
• Any - Dirty old cars? 1 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  The old Renault sailed through its MOT today. Clean pass, one minor advisory. So how dirty is a 16 year old 2 valver running on Asda smart price? Fast idle: HC: 0 (yes, zero) ppm, Max:200ppm CO: 0.1% max 0.3% natural idle: CO: 0.31%, Max:0.5% So
• bye to faithful old Volvo..... 10 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Just had to exchange my wife's faithful old Volvo 480 due to MOT failure (£800 needed in this and that and the clutch is going etc after 148,000 miles.) Swore I'd never get a new car but in the end a deal on a new Polo was so good inc 3 years warranty and servicing we went for it. Just hope
• 3yr old/8,000mls MB CLK - never serviced 8 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  There is a car site that is a pseudo auction they are all ex-fleet cars of large Cos and leasing cos - you bid through E-Bay . Cars usually under 3 yrs old and fairly high mileage However a 3 yr old CLK convertible is for sale and the service book is pristine but has no stamps in 3 yrs! 8,000mls
• 2 year old car covered 125,000 miles? 2 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Would you buy a 2 year old car that?s covered over 125,000 miles? The car in question is a Honda Civic Type R. Apparently it has a full Honda service history. Only mod seems to be a Mugen induction kit... If I was looking at say a 7 or 8 year old car that had 125,000 miles on it I wouldn?t
• Buying Old Police Cars 19 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  Please could I have some advice on buying a used police car, eg. Volvo or Omega.
• Any old iron? Any, any, any, old iron? 2 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  No, not an old watch chain* but the seven cast off motors loaded on a Mercedes dual trailer car transporter spotted on a residential street today. These ranged from a Mk II Astra to a very tired looking late nineties C180. What was unusual was the country of nationality of the transporter rig: LT
• Vintage cab 'too old for licence' 23 May 2007 (Forum)
  A taxi driver could lose his income after council officials refused to renew a licence for his classic car, because it is too old. Bob Coles drives passengers in Bath in his 25-year-old Mercedes LWB. But the 54-year-old father-of-two was told his private hire licence would not be renewed
• Do my old cars still exist? 24 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Chatting with my wife earlier this week we were talking about all our old cars / motorbikes. I remember all the registrations (15 cars / bikes in my case! and I'm only 34!). Is there any way of tracing whether they are still on the roads using the reg numbers or is everything so private
• Old cars' - MoT history 5 May 2021 (Forum)
  Being a geeky petrolhead I have found a new interest in MoT histories.  Walking around our Northants villages is more interesting than across our admittedly beautiful countryside as on a fine day there are often interesting old cars to be glimpsed, e,g D755MUD with a rare immaculate MoT
• 'Cool' car for 17 year old girl 30 May 2008 (Forum)
  My girlfriends 17 yr old daughter will shortly be sitting her driving test. Assuming she passes, she will doubtless be wanting a car, and mum's company car does not allow her to be added to the policy (phew!). With a budget of £2k max ( I only paid £995 for my own car) what, in the world of teenage
• Finding old registration numbers ?? 2 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  I've been searching for an old registration number I or my father had on our cars in the 60/70's. But can't find them listed anywhere on the various sites. Is there anyway of finding these old registrations, even if knowing the vehicle has been scrapped long ago.
• Old Pick-Up Truck Road Tax/Insurance 29 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I was idly wondering today about buying an old 'proper' pick up truck (Not a fashion statement) so something like an old Hilux, P100 etc. Is the insurance and VED on these comparable to a car or different as they are commerical vehicles?
• BMW 3 Series E46 - trade in car requires repair, who is liable to pay 27 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  Have traded in my old car for a newer model. the old car developed a problem with the engine before i left the dealers (while they were driving it to storage) but after they had signed the V5 as the new owners and after i had paid the balance on the new car. Who is liable to foot the bill
• Small Car Recommendation for 19yr old, £1500-2000? 21 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  My 19 year old daughter's car (a 1999 Corsa 1.0), free-gifted by a kind neighbour a year ago, is dying (it has needed head gasket, exhaust, cat, clutch etc doing in last 6 months and clearly won't last too much longer based on the oil its losing). She regrets not taking us up on the offer of old
• Bringing back old brands- Friday trivia 26 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Bell Boys post got me thinking. If you had millions to invest and wanted to bring back an old car name from the past, what would it be and what sort of car would you build? I'd quite like to see Triumph come back with a lightweight sports car to rival Lotus.
