  • New Car Time - Replacing Nissan Primera P11-144 6 Dec 2013 (Forum)
    like gadgets, so air con, electric windows all round, electric mirrors is a must. Not fussed about leather and heated seats though, or climate control. iPod and Bluetooth connectivity is a requirement whether it's part of the car or available through an add on, with full integration - ie, not just
  • Why is the part exchange value of our Mini Countryman so low? 23 Feb 2013 (Ask HJ)
    I would be grateful if I could seek your advice with regards to an issue that has arisen with our local BMW/Mini dealership. I currently drive a Mini Cooper...
  • My first 6 weeks with a 520d 15 Jul 2012 (Forum)
    are on cruise control you can very easily be travelling at a higher speed than thought/sensible. The car does have a ‘Sport/Comfort/Eco Pro’ button by the side of the gearbox and it does make a real difference. I don’t bother with Eco Pro. It works up to 75MPH and is supposed to dial down the air con
  • Grand Scenic - full review. 3 May 2007 (Forum)
    have are cruise control, leather, electric seats and full climate (it has "basic" air-con). Everything else you could reasonably think of, and a lot you couldn't, are present. It all works too. We have already fallen in love with the keyless operation, but I still don't like the electric parking brake
  • 150 k Miles in a Berlingo 31 May 2021 (Forum)
    . No other trim problems and was and  remains free of rattles and squeaks.  Front seats adjust only fore/aft and for rake but combined with height adjust for steering wheel all four of us can drive it comfortably.  Air con was an extra we
  • Pandemic bargains 6 May 2021 (Forum)
    that was for sale not because it was worn out but because the seller had came into money and just wanted something newer. Even the air con is ice cold. £925 given. Had I been trading still I’d put tyres on it and stick it on at £1695 but it’s going to a friend for the fee of a bottle of Morgan’s and I’ve every
  • Cuba Fly Drive 29 May 2008 (Forum)
    a crash helmet and the unbelted passengers in a pod at the back. The car we picked up on Day 4 was a Seat Altea XL 1.6 litre poverty spec but with heavenly air con. I noticed plastic blanking plates in place of the side indicator repeaters and then found that no cars in Cuba had repeaters
  • Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - Golf GTI 1.8T - first impressions 25 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    , and apart from the service history, has real evidence of having had money spent on it (four matching Michelin Pilots, new looking front pads and discs, invoice for a new £500 air con compressor in the last 12 months etc etc). Overall, it gave a good impression. It even had the full original handbook folder
  • Volvo S60 (2000 - 2009) - Two weeks (almost) review and update 18 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    , the best standard fit stereo I've ever heard, ABS, stability control, dual zone air-con, cruise, half leather etc etc. And every single thing works as it should. Durability and finish: Deeply impressive. 126,000 miles up and the doors still shut with a solid clunk, the interior only creaks over really
  • Letter Fom The Colonies Vol 11 14 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    very hot indeed, so we shall shortly be retreating in a month or so to the comfort of air-con at home, telephone Chinese take-aways delivered in 30 mins by pizza pilots or you get it free and a great many pirate DVD's we got from Indonesia plus a substantial stock of my favourite Wynne's Bin 444
  • VW - Can you trust Volkswagen dealers - a warning 30 Nov 2012 (Forum)
    .  The dealership even tried to "rip" me off by offering to take my vehicle in at a part-exchange value, which would have meant losing nearly £2500 is a space of 2 weeks.  Obviously a great con tactic! I asked why the loss was so great the sales manager replied this was due to a further owner showing

    the gubbins round our lad's arm. I can almost see the hackles of affronted masculinity rising on the back of Wiliam's neck. Another stamp and it's the eye test. On the outside are enterprising gents selling copies of the eye chart which the less well-sighted can buy and memorise. However this is a con, since
