  minitrucks for a few years now and have often wondered about the possibility of using one for my work.

  this year. 63,000 miles (petrol) and we paid £4,100 cash. Car drove fine in test drive, no problems mentioned by the dealer.

• BMW 3 Series Coupe - 2007 320d E92 - engine shaking/ loss of power 6 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  I've got a e92 320d M Sport Auto with only 89k on the clock. I've only had the car for a couple of months now and a few weeks ago the battery decided to die only a few hours of being parked up, so it was jump started with another car and since then the car sounded like a tractor. I took it to a BMW

  I parked the car at work this morning and about half an hour later the alarm went off - for the first time ever! I then had to deactivate it a number of times and through various combination of pressing the interior sensing button and deadlocking/not deadlocking I managed to silence it. It all

  of these traits. Car Park anonymity! I find I have to drive around car parks with the windows down and the (decent) stereo on, pedestrians just don’t hear you coming when running on battery power and step into your path lemming-style. Reversing lights are awful, I’ve replaced them with LEDs which
• Audi Q2 - first 1,000 miles 25 May 2018 (Forum)
  and handling were streets ahead of the traded-in V60: a bonus, as one might have expected an improvement in one to be at the expense of the other.  And there's an indescribably good feeling that never again will I have to reach for the parking brake down by my right knee.  I still prefer

  at the gym but it soon dawned on me that it is the car so it's time to get something different - I would've got rid of it sooner but it's so cheap to run. I have the seat as far back as it can go but my legs are still very much bent when pushing the pedals down. The headroom is fine but my legs (knees

• DPF Filters - Just how bad are they? 14 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  Having read the horror stories about particulate filters, I have at this point resigned myself to avoiding an SUV fitted with a DPF and am looking to purchase a Honda CRV 2.0 petrol 4WD. (4WD will suit my purpose better than a 2WD due to some of the places I park) My budget
• Lamborghini factory tour 25 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  I am in Italy on holiday with my family and booked into the factory tour at Sant Agata Bolognese. Due to a rubbish Sat Nav app, I took a wrong exit off the Autostrada near Modena so arrived late.  However I and told them.  Not only were they fine, they laid on a private tour for me
• A year with the Jaaaaag 12 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  . It's a 56 plate 3.0litre petrol model in SE trim with the sensible 7 spoke alloys, black exterior and 'ivory' interior which is a posh way of saying nearly white. When I bought it the Sat Nav thought it was on the M1 all the time but that has been fixed and works fine. I've done almost 11,000 miles
• Toyota Prius III (2009 - ) - Impressions of the new Prius 29 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  When ordering my elder daughter's fourth Toyota Yaris, I was looking over the new Prius and was offered a test run in one - a fine example of long-term thinking by the salesman at the excellent Octagon Toyota in Bracknell, as he knew I have a new Skoda. His reward is that I'm happy to tell anyone

  a lower gear than instinct suggests, but its acceptable and the first fuel consumption return was 55 mpg with a mix of town and A/B roads, which is impressive and a trip to Lincoln on Sunday will be a real test for economy. Great car in town, very easy to park and visability is great. I find mine very
• Wrongly accuse of being in an accident 27 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  - I have had no parking fines or anything else. I also asked, that if they exchanges details, what name did 'I' give. She told me and it was not my name, or anybody I know.
