    but I've been warned off them by a Skoda forum because they are quite low to the ground and I go over grassy fields reasonably regularly over the summer.

  • £3K to £4K to spend 25 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    the upcoming MOT without too many problems. I have been considering a 1.8/2.0 P11-144 Primera or Honda Accord. To be honest, I don't need such a big car and have also been considering the Almera/Focus/Astra. I cover around 17K private miles a year. Perhaps I should also be looking at a diesel or lpg? Getting
  • Reliable cars? Seems not 5 Jan 2007 (Forum)
    Renault and wait for it ....BMW. Toyotas not what they were and Nissans no better. Honda still pretty good and Mazda consistent. Merecedes he tells me isn't bad at all but A class is not up to scratch. I asked what he was now driving - an Audi S3 that has been excellent. Interesting chat though.

It appeared that the bearing on my Yamaha was also used in a Honda motorbike, a Hoover washing machine, a BMW and a Atco grass mower.

  • Car Alarm installation diagram 18 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    I bought a car alarm from eBay. What attracted me to it was the remote start feature, but it's also a car alarm. I want to fit it into my Honda Prelude, but there were no instructions, just a little diagram and a little leaflet of do's and don'ts - Can anyone help me decipher the diagram? I

    this weekend after they's fixed a few things I pointed out to them. They've offered me an identical car (bar the colour and 7000 instead of 4500 miles) + 2 years of free servicing (Honda) for the trouble caused.

  • Buyer cancelling cheque? 17 Jan 2004 (Forum)
