• "Fun" car for retirement 24 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  Hi So, the missus retired earlier this year and I'm now on the countdown (we're both lucky to be able to go in our mid 50's) We've got our 'sensible' motor sorted out in a nice MK7 Golf 1.4 TSi whch does everything extremely well (48mpg from a petrol and it fair shifts if you put it in 'sport mode' which I realise probably involves a changing display reading 'sport mode' but as a fan of 'Red Dwarf' it makes me laugh!)
• Ford Focus Mk2, 2007 1.6. - Recommendations, please. 7 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  I'd like to avoid "pig ugly" too, if possible. I've looked at newish Fiestas but the 1.6 Zetec S, which is the model from that range which I'd want purely for the power, is just too expensive and most of the good examples are with main dealers. Same goes for the other car I've been looking at: the third generation Focus from 2011 on.
• Mercedes E320 - Ford or Mercedes 5 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  He buys luxury rather than sporty, one or two owners, full dealer history. At the moment he has a 52 reg S class which has just gone through a service without one additional penny being spent on it. I've heard the argument that an 8 year old £50k car may be cheap to buy but still has the running costs of a £50k car but I must admit his point of view seems to have a lot of merit.

• Volvo V50. 05 plate - Anti skid message brake failure, immobilser activa 30 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  The day before yesterday my car failed its mot and had the following work done. Rear brakes cleaned and adjusted, n/s/f coil spring supplied and fitted. Rear number plate bulb Do you think the two are related or is it just a coincidence that this has happened now?

• Jaguar XE - Extended test drive - Petrol 2L (240PS) 27 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  I'm half way through a 24 hour test drive of a Jaguar XE S - the 2L petrol 240PS version. So far so good.  I'm generally impressed with the quality of the materials used in the cabin and the way it performs on the road.  The engine (currently a Ford sourced unit until Jag's own petrol version comes out - 2016 maybe?)

• BMW 528 - Does 3rd party insurance have the legal right - 12 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  When the assesor sent by the 3rd parties insurers looked at the car, I expressed that I did not want the car written off. He commented on the good condition of the car and how it didn't look it s age nor show the miles it has covered. This due to me being so particular that everything is kept in top condition both cosmetically and mechanically. The 3rd party insururs have phoned me, they are telling me its a Cat C write off, I nearly fell of my chair, they then offered me £800 - then I did fall off the chair!
