• New Car Donation Website 19 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  . The service we offer is very simple. We pick up any car, roadworthy or not, and either sell or scrap it, donating all the proceeds of the sale to the charity of the former owner?s choice. There is no charge for this service as we account for all costs. The only costs that are taken out of the donation
• Buying a car. Can you help with the 3Ws and H? 16 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  . The figures didn't stack up though on anything larger than a basic spec petrol or diesel Golf S. Anything bigger and I could negotiate a higher discount as a retail customer with no trade-in, certainly among the 'premier' manufacturer brands. Lastly, cash (earning me only 2% a year) or business contract hire
• BMW 3-Series E36 (1991 - 1998) - 94 2.5l Electric Windows & Sunroof Not Working 3 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  , and none of them work - using any switch - however, the switches either side of the Gear Stick are illuminated - so surely there is power going to them? The sunroof is not working either, and the switch is not illuminated. I read that some older E36's have a trip switch by the steering wheel. The only
• New car under scrappage or older second hand one? 2 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  market. I made similar thread about this car about a year ago, but they have spent £100's on repairs since then.
• SAAB 9-5 (1997 - 2009) - Blown turbo woes 12 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Saab cars are turbo charged I am amazed they did not spot this but they refuse to accept any liability. I could write several pages on this but I will spare you. I cannot see how she has any come back. I told her to write to the dealer?s MD and copy to the group MD, Saab customer relations
• Confession; I was a git today. 12 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  month or two, the red Polo has alarmed one or other of the family; she's had my son off his bike through not paying attention; she's failed to see me on my bike a few times; she's turned the normally calm Mrs H into a venomous witch and she' s whacked my door mirror after parking too close before
• Peugeot 206 CC (2000 - 2007) - 01 1.6 head gasket repair quotes 24 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  on Monday. I've now had a phone call to say the brakes are fine (50% worn and they'd replace if I insisted) but that the head gasket is broken. They've told me that I'm fine to drive it for now,a s long as I top the water up regularly, but not to leave it too long before getting the work done. They advise
• New Small Cars - nothing to buy... 5 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  that would prevent me from buying the same model/brand again, especially as the number one factor space is well taken care of. The Honda garage had a few new Jazz models around all of different specs. I had a sit in the 1.2 S version, very well put together and fantastic quality of materials, it all had
• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 2002 1.6 Full Beam issue, now disabled on car 10 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  of, however not even pulling out the key would disable it. As I was on a busy main road while it was raining I could not really get out of the car and start messing about with fuses, so I had to drive through the town with full beam on (much to the annoyance of other drivers) until I got to SWMBO?s house
• `Tub O lard`? or shattered glass skeleton? WW1 29 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  We were looking at a fleet of Harley`s outside `Hill 60`. Very nice too. Gleaming paint and chrome. Big old lads heaving into the saddles, bellies protruding and `love handles` extruding to the rear. At least the `old` lasses had made an effort and there was just a hint of the nymph of 40 years
• Honda Accord Tourer (2003 - 2008) - i-CTDi long term update 31 May 2008 (Forum)
  off the road for a month while Honda faffed and messed me around. Paint chips on the ungalvanised bonnet remain a problem, the front door trims rattle both with moderate bass on the stereo, but also with rough road surfaces. Sidelights are the devils own job to change and consequently mine?s been out
• Car hire troubles 11 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  and a letter sent special delivery to their Customer Services manager and their MD. Spoke to them today and they tell me no compensation - the voucher is all I'm getting. Pretty staggering considering I must have spent a couple £1000's on rentals with this company over the last two years. I told the CS
• Volvo Clutch repair botched? Any advice? 17 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  was against the dashboard fascia (ie too far forward). This did not seem to make much difference to the car?s operation; it just seemed to foul access to the ashtray, etc. I continued to drive the car normally, but went back to the garage a week later and explained the problem. The garage asked me to bring
• Moving Big Things.... 22 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I can't work out if this is going to help or hinder. Any opinions? Electronic Service Delivery for Abnormal Loads A new website to help haulage companies...
• The Car Buying Experience 24 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  in how I was going to finance ny new car. When I told him I wasn't ready to discuss finance, he told me to go away and stop wasting his time. That was 2 years ago when I changed the Bora for a Skoda. 2 years. Amazing to think the local VW dealer hasn't has any more Bora TDI 130's in in two years
• A tale of two renaults 14 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  cylinder, new rear brake calliper, pads all round, and as it has a bent front alloy (n/s/f inner) they dumped a new one in the boot. It needs new rubber all round so it will get used then. Renault 2 is first courtesy car, A Modus, A 1.6 auto Modus to be precise. This will be biased, because as you know I
• Synthetic oil or not? 1 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  . This is the ?synthetic? which is always used in cheap oils that are labelled ?synthetic?. Yes it?s a cruel world, you get what you pay for! Now, you may ask, why are these special mineral oils called ?synthetic?? Well, it was all sorted in a legal battle that took place in the USA about ten years ago. Sound reasons
• Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDDi Duratorq 2001 Model 25 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  become brittle and breaks easily, even in BMW and S-500 Merz. Also, I try to service my car (changing Engine Oil and filter) for every 5,000km distance travelled. Book recommends 3,000 miles which is more or less 5,000km. And it recommends engine oil of grade 5W-30, but I cannot find such grades
• Would you accept this offer? 1 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  ,there is an associate of mine in U.K who is owing me the sum of £5000 he did promise to pay me by issuing me a cashier\'s check of that amount since this is the case i will not like to delay you, i will instruct him to issue out payment that he is owning me to you so that you can deduct your £675 and send the remining
• Good therapist needed urgently 20 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  fine (the seller has a car air-con shop!), delightfully woolly one-finger p/s, lots of body rattles... I haven't been underneath yet but rust should not be a big issue in this climate. New belts, hoses, all the electrics seem OK, electronic ignition conversion...... But, along with the exhaust note
