The car would be used for short journies, mainly one up, but occasionally Mrs mare and I and a 8 and 6 year old will use it to go to the beach etc. I will probably keep my old Almera for work, and we're replacing the C3 with a Mitsubishis Grandis to get
• Buying ex-armed forces car - advice? 4 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  Ok, seen a used sports hatch, year old and its been owned by a soldier in Germany, its UK supplied and mileage is a little high for a year old but its resonably priced. Serviced in Germany I believe. Is it risky buying ex-armed forces? I believe they have to sell it within a year to save the VAT
• First car for 17 year old daughter 24 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I'm looking for a car for my daughter who has recently turned 17 and obtained a provision licence. I am considering a new or nearly new Vauxhall Corsa 1.2, in any of its guises. Would this be suitable car for her to learn in and use around town for a few years ? I believe it can run on both LPG

• Honda Legend (2006 - ) - Suggestions for a car to spoil myself with 30 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  I've been looking at replacing my sensible family car with a 2 year old (or thereabouts) luxury car - its my version of a 40year old sports car but I'm too sensible for my own good - I've looked at all of the obvious things and am starting to scratch my head - I've got £20k to spend but can push
• Cars for tall families 24 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  30mpg was getting expensive to run, but I dearly loved the car. The Accord seemed a decent enough compromise, more room and more frugal without losing out too much on the driveability sense. 9 months on, with a 5 month old baby in tow I'm beginning to wonder if the Accord - particularly in saloon form

  Hello ! I have just bought a Nissan Almera, and want to change the rather poor Radio, however unlike other cars it seems to be built into the dashboard, ie, there is a flange on the dashboard which seems to make it impossible to remove the old unit. Does anyone out there know how to whip the old
