    and the large infotainment screen, lifted from the latest S-Cross apparently,  was a doddle to navigate. The new 3 pot engine had plenty of go despite only having I think around 80 horse powers, you do get that off beat 3 cylinder "thrum" on pulling away but around town it was all but silent. Think
  • Electric Transit on trial 24 Mar 2024 (Forum)
    My firm (a local bus and coach company) has sitting it its bank a tax payer funded grant which has to be spent on electric buses. We’ve bought two Sigma 8’s, which have proven to be a disappointment due to range and poor reliability - one has been off the road for months awaiting parts. We’ve also
  • Toyota Estima - Imported Estima vs 1.4 Sharan…or something else?!? 3 Mar 2024 (Forum)
    on the clock and good history (Verso is too small, XC90 worries me with repair bills, don’t fancy a Zafira, Galaxy, S Max, Grand Picasso, or Alhambra) Have I missed anything worth considering - such as an older X5? - and if not, which would be a better investment to try and get 6 or more years of well

  • Current process for Salvage car purchase? 31 Jan 2022 (Forum)
    Hello, I wonder if anyone can help. My friend has his heart set on purchasing a salvage car with light damage (I can’t recall if it’s a Cat N or cat S). The car in question does not have a log book, the company selling it told him to get a V62 and go to the post office where he can apply
  • What would you go for? 11 Feb 2021 (Forum)
    but the Focus has more extras and I imagine is more comfortable for commuting as the Audi has Sport suspension (although I think this isn’t as harsh as S Line suspension?) and 19” alloys.   Are Audi massively more expensive for servicing and parts?  Paul

    an engineer who does crash damage repairs look over the car and he cant see any reason for a Cat A or B or even Cat S , as there are no signs of any structural damage at all .  Is there any way of getting this Category Changed , or finding out the previous owner as my friend thinks the insurance
  • Buyers of new cars are so dull 19 Jan 2020 (Forum)
    fashionable but bland is a good bet. Personally i much preferred the 70's in many ways as well as colours, ok the cars weren't great but there were lots of really interesting colours, ranging from oranges through yellows and lime green to all shades of the spectrum, almost no one had white cars
  • Citroen C1 - private seller vs franchise: milliage + cost 14 Aug 2019 (Forum)
    I'm looking at second hand cars in the price range of £1000-2000 and it looks like I will have to choose to either have a high mileage or older car. Most of the cars I'm looking at are toyota aygo, citroen c1 or peugeot 107's (UK). What would be best between: - 2009 car 95,000

    to a Peugeot Dealer and we all know that would be financial suicide and literally at the mercy of being bent over a barrel and the chances are they wouldn't have an exact solution and it would be the start of £1,000's spend before actually finding the problem. Please can anyone help, it seems

    Hiya, I am looking to invest in a XC90 as an upgrade to my falling apart Seat Alhambra that I currently ferry my 4 children around in.  I have 3 under 4's and I can currently fit the 3 car seats across the middle row with my teenage daughter in the front meaning I have a huge boot
  • Merc A Class - Wobbly Brakes 14 Mar 2014 (Forum)
    Evening all... I'm after some pretty basic advice regarding my cheap as chips old A Class. I picked it up simply as a bargain hack, and for an S plater it's not bad; the arches are still there in all four corners and it's no more wooly to drive than any of these that I've come across

    is interested. The old S reg Ford Mondeo starts, stops and runs beautifully, but is scruffy on the outside (rust and a dented door from being reversed into), has only 2 weeks MoT, tyres are coming to the end, may need some more welding and has a list of non-essential things that no longer work
