• Insurance cost 12 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  For anyone looking to reduce their car insurance costs the Post Office is well worth a look. My premium with Churchill amounted to £135 (TPFT) this year. The PO quoted £88 for the same cover without the legal assistance bit. On top of that, for new PO customers, there is a £50 cashback bonus
• Five year old satellite navigation 30 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I am looking at possibly buying a Rover 75, 2000/01 model. Some cars I have seen advertised include sat nav. Question is, as any sat nav system is only worthwhile if it has up to date mapping, can anyone out there with a Rover with sat nav confirm that they can keep it up to date with upgrades
• The 'Bangernomics' bashing thread 22 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  No, not an invitation to banger racing. Merely an opportunity, in the best tradition, for those who drive brand new cars to knock those who don't. That 5 year old fully loaded Mondeo, under 3k. That 10 year old A6 Avant for under 1k. That series II that is more rust than bucket, £500. All

• `Respect` for cars? 5 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  ` and one would have thought respect also? But no. He was scowled at not just by the manager and the son as he drove out of the car park (with that Cheshire cat grin) but also by the workers. "A traitor" as one of them said. The only one to smile back to him was the owner, the `old man` who no doubt

• Cuban Cars ... 27 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  Watching that James Bond tosh last night, with JB driving a 50's American monster in Cuba; do they still drive those old cars from the 30's and 50's out there, or are they allowed imports now ?!

• Renault Megane - Suitable Replacement for Mk1 Megane 26 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Having had my 1997 Renault Megane 2.0 RXE from new, it's time for a change. The old lady is bowing out gracefully with a bit of rust on the rear wheel arches and increasingly niggling little problems. Not worth spending much on it now as it's still going to be a 14 year old car and all's

  I am about to change my insurance company to get a better deal. In comparing my new quote with my old one, I noticed my old statement of demands and needs recorded an incident where I had reported a third party bumping my car whilst parked. The third party agreed to pay but because he was tardy

  306, 1995 DT, 150K I have recently replaced the front struts, springs, wishbones on the front of my dear old 306. Since the work the car drives perfect, holds the coners, no bouncing, I could not be happier, however, every so oftern there is a funny vibration type noise. It sound like a window

  I've noticed that the BR has been getting a little 'heavy' lately so, in the intention of lightening the mood, I've started this thread. How many of us out there still have only a radio/tapeplayer in the car rather than a CD/minidisc/mp3/wax cylinder player? And if you do have a tape player, what
• BMW Boxer 23 Jul 2002 (Forum)
  tidy, neither the front caliper or rear drum have seized and the clutch appears to be OK and the engine turns when rocked in gear. What I intend doing is draining the old petrol from the tank and carbs and filling up with new, and jump starting it from my car to the old knackered battery. Advice
• Citroen C3 - advice re old Citroen C3 13 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  I have a 2006 Citroen C3 that I like very much - it's been brilliant since I bought it 5 years ago and needed no repairs until it broke down this week in France with a broken clutch. I'm being quoted 950 euros for the clutch to be repaired there, which is about £800. The car is only worth
• Hyundai i30 - Paint peeling off 17 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  and not a pressure washer.  OK the car is 11 years old but I have never heard of this happening before.  I assume it is the environmentally friendly water based paint being used.  Bring back the old Dulux and <expletive deleted> the environment. To answer the question asked by Doggfuzz
