• VAG/ Citroen/ Peugeot - Best diesel Estate/Hatchback for approx £1500. 24 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  but is seems that VAG engines are not that cheap in an Estate. I have seen a Xantia with £150,000 miles for this price. Is that a good model? What is a better diesel engine on a 10 year old Citroen/Mondeo or Peugeot car? I plan to drive 15-20K miles in a reliable, economical car

• Low Mileage - High Age Cambelts 23 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Hi all, My partners March 02 Saxo VTR 1.6 has 21,000 miles on the clock and is 5 years old. Ive been thinking that the cambelts for these are to be safe best changed at 40,000. However she only clocks up about 5K per year and at that rate the cambalt is going to be 10 years old when due
• Thinking of ending love affair (with Boxster) 20 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  (convertible if poss)/ A3 3.2 / Nissan 350z (import) at about 4-5 years old with 40k-60k miles on - question is, will these be more in line with my needs for paranoia-free reliable motoring, or is any performance car at 5 years old likely to throw up expensive issues? Budget is 11k-12k. Still not up
• A sad day - Primera eGT RIP 5 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  that it was still on the road. It needed new brake pipes and a little welding to pass its MOT. I know you shouldn't get sentimental about old cars but I really did love that Primera and its engine was still like new even after 120k. Just feeling that a good car should still be around.
• Golf Brake Discs (again) 15 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  I took my car for it's MOT today at a non-VW independant garage and it failed again (see last year) because the front brake disks were 'excessively pitted' (the rears were OK). I decided to have them replaced but I have kept the old discs. On inspection both discs have got corrosion on the inside
• off roader for daily farmtrack use 10 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  I go through roughly a car each year (usually about 8-10 years old) over 2 miles of farm track to get on to main road. Always exhaust, bearings, shocks, suspension, cv joints, track rod ends. Not worth repair. Should I bite the bullet and shell out for off roader - I'm thinking it will be cheaper
• BMW pre-1997 E39 Instruments 16 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  who sold me it said the mileage could be adjusted to match mine. BMW say it can't. Assuming BMW matched the 'new' one to my car and I installed it. What would be the mileage result of putting the old one back if I decided to sell the car. Would the mileage I'd accumulated show correctly on the old

  My sister has a eight year old Golf as an everyday car. The Golf has been breaking down recently and she is thinking of cchanging it. A friend of hers has offered her a bargain two year old 307 1.4 diesel for £5500. Anyone have any experience of them? They supposed to do 65mpg is that achievable
• Non-transferrable Registration Marks 12 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  A while ago I saw an old car for sale with a nice registration plate bearing my initials. I inquired about the car (I would probably have paid the asking price for it just for the number, and sold the remainder (an old Austin A7 I think) on for whatever I could get for it). However
• Self cancelling indicators 24 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  I hate self cancelling indicators! I bemoaned the day when Citroen gave in and fitted them. On my old CX you turned on the indicator when you wanted it, and turned it off when you had finished with it. Easy. On every car I've had since, you turn it on, get half way round a roundabout

• Mondeo fan heater - the cost! 22 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  for parts and £49.50 for labour. Total (inc VAT) was £69.70. I proposed Fords reported 'good-will gestures' but was told 'not on a 68,000 miler over 4 years old'. As the old saying goes 'smile and pay up!' This is referred to on HJ's car by car breakdown - so, when considering a used Mondeo, it's well worth

  Did anyone see the convoy of police cars down the A3, heading toward Guildford this morning? Any idea what was going on? There was an unmarked old style Land Rover in the middle of the cars...strange.
