• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 2003 130TDCi - Erratic idle. 28 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  After living with the erratic idle and the car wanting to drive at not less than 1550 revs , and it was gradually getting worse I decided to do something about it. 1. Took out the MAF and cleaned it. A cotton bud, some white spirit and a very gentle steady hand is all you need. Effect

  Looking for a cheap Mondeo in AutoTrader I specified the "over 100k miles" button... and then decided to do a price high/low to see what a two to three year old new shape would be going for. However, I found one a 98R old shape Verona at a Ford franchise with 130k on it for £5399... what would
• Outcome 4 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  received equals the original purchase price of the Omega. I strongly recommend Gap ? it cost £250 and gives effective new for old cover for 3 years.

• Old shape BMW 7 series 22 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  I'm seriously considering getting a second hand 7 series on an S or T plate. I cover about 25k a year, including a couple of trips to Austria/Switzerland, and the idea of a car like this for under £15,000 appeals to me. Am I being a complete fool? If so, you'd better talk me out of it. I really

  I wish HJ would stop banging on about left-foot braking, amongst other things. By his logic, manual car drivers must be lethal yet we never hear of such a case. It is just a case of old people driving automatics who should not be driving.

  Daughter had to take extreme avoiding action on the A1 this week, and her little green Suzuki fell over on its side. Is there a known stability problem with these cars (and by extrapolation the old shape Vauxhall Agila)?

• Citroen - DS 17 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  All this discussion about old cars has made me nostalgic for these. Have had several Citroens - in my view the 'quirkier' the better (apart from the XM). But the DS - should I? Could I? Buy one and afford to run it that is.

  Do you use additional security on your brand new car? I am referring to cars which are less than 5 years old. These cars tend to be fitted with immobiliser and code transmitter in the key fob which makes it hard to hot-wire a car. Just wonder if anyone use stoplok etc. I know those with high
• Company Car Tax on used cars 11 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  My boss is thinking of buying me a car outright instead of via contract hire. If he buys a car over,say, 3 years old, does my tax liability change ? If not, then presumably it is based on the current list value &co2 rating. But what if the car is no longer made - what list price do I use
