  BBC Reports: A groom who was driving too fast to meet guests and a mother caught with her son standing in her car foot well have been criticised by police. The 39-year-old bridegroom was caught driving at 107mph on the A947 Aberdeen to Turriff road at the weekend. Police said that if he had
• EOS alternatives 11 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  SWMBO had an altercation with a little old lady at a roundabout which has ended in the little old lady admitting fault and SWMBO's 20 month old A2 being written off! The gap insurance looks a very good buy now! She wants an EOS but lead time is likely to be longer than the lengh of time she can
• Mercedes E320CDI Brake Pump Noise 14 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  when I put the key in the ignition (priming itself I guess!) and seems too noisy. I have had it checked by MB today and they say its normal and nothing is wrong. It seems odd that a car that is perfect in all other ways has to immit such a noise. Any thoughts?? \" Keep doing the same old thing, youll
• Audi A6 (old shape) vs Passat 28 May 2004 (Forum)
  , then ?! Same applies to the Skoda Superb, I suppose More importantly, can't understand why it's compared to the 5-series ...

• Just how is insurance calculated? 3 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  Just been running some figures through as I'm planning to get an old banger for use as a second car, and need insurance to be as cheap as possible. Now I always thought the primary consideration was insurance group. Seems I was wrong. Entering in an old-shape Nissan Micra 1.0 (group 4) results
• Skoda Octavia Estate - Possible first time new car buyer (Octy?) 16 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  the cheapest (~300 miles away!), so I’m wondering if I can go in and negotiate around this, the trade-in on my old car, and on the inclusion of a spare wheel and towbar (as the minimum of extras I would want). Sanity check – the broker price is the same price (or less) as 12-18month old
• V70 - Old girl reached a landmark 23 Apr 2021 (Forum)
  Bought a Volvo V70 for just over 8k 5 years ago with 56k on the clock. Apart from routine maintenance and a cam belt last year a smash from a Post office van that laid her up for 2 months she has been a very good buy. Today she reached 150k which won't be anywhere near some of the cars owned
• VW Polo, 1.4, 2014 (last of the old model), 38,000 - VW - Non Franchised Service 21 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  Is there such a thing as a VW approved non franchised service centre? She is adamant that there is has had hers service at a garage that claims to be VW approved for the last 2 years. I think not and it doesnt matter where you go, especially as the car is out of warranty

• E class wheel bearing £260 repair bill ? 23 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  My sister in law's 2001 E class Mercedes needs a new wheel bearing and she has been quoted £260. Surely this is unreasonable? Any views? Also, I've done wheel bearings on several old BMC and Ford cars in the old days. Are modern ones such as this any different ? Could I do it myself? Any opinion
• Advise - Replacement Gap insurance 14 May 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, I am buying a new Focus and was interested in the dealers information on New for old Gap insurance until the car was 4 or 5 years old until the bit about the price came out. They wanted £500-600 pounds. I can find similar products online, but non direct with brand named companies. Prices seem
• new for old 2 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I am setting up in business and want to keep initial start up cost low including the purchase of a couple of cars. They need to be decent- possibly an x type jag. Can someone recommend a vehicle that would match the bill, so if i put cheap private plates on it would be difficult to determine
• Small World 19 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  How's this for coincidence ? About 6 months ago my brother traded-in his little KA for somthing a little bigger, about a week or so later I noticed that a couple across the road had bought his old car. Then on Saturday the new V5 came through for our year old punto, and it turns out the original
• Would you buy a Espace Diesel?? 6 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  I am looking for a large economical motor - either MPV or large estate car. As a result of the brand new Renault Espaces coming to market there are some, what appear to be, serious bargains to be had on the old shape. I have seen much negative discussion relating to the Diesel engines - however
• Breakdown Cover (again!) 2 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  out to be my fault but that’s another story). I was quite happy to renew when on the payment page I noticed a cross next to the ‘cover for cars over 15 years old’. I clicked on this and it added cover for cars over 15 years old (the MX5 is 21) and suddenly the annual price
• Peugeot 308 SW - Battery completely dead 12 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  I think I know the answer to this question already but it's always good to ask. My car is a ten year old 308sw diesel. Unlocked my car with the remote, got in, turned the ignition - one click and - not even a flicker of power. No interior light, no radio, definitely no engine turn. My

• East Coast Salvage - Any Good??? 23 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I came across an add for East Coast Salvage (www.eastcoastsalvage.co.uk) and they appear to have cheap deals on cars seized by customs or surrendered under leasing. According to the add, their cars are not accident damaged. Has anyone had any experience dealing with them? Any advice on buying
• No FM/AM by 2012 19 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  that there will still be plenty of 3+ year old cars knocking around by then relying on good old FM/AM. I just think this is crazy, I'm not sure what is happening on the Continent but are their new cars going to have their FM radios swapped out for DAB ones when they are imported? Looks like I'll have to find another
