• Roads in Rhodes 20 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  that is universally observed. Roundabouts are in a state of flux between "give way to the right" and "give way to the left"  - France changed overnight; in Greece it's been a few years - but luckily *most* drivers slow down and even stop for a rest while they decide what to do. The approach to a typical

• Review Fiat Doblo 2002 JTD "the Fault-Master" 13 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  . Byy this stage Mrs O was refusing to even be a passenger in it and it was flogged back to the dealer at a great loss - but a clear conscience. Pity about all of that - because it provided great transport over into France and Germany - but there was never any peace of mind while in it and you
• Citroen Berlingo Multispace (1998 - 2010) - 15K and one year in. 22 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  hand it has been reliable and does its' job well. Overall, I am satisfied rather than either delighted or disappointed. Practicality. This is where it holds all the aces. We have a house in France and the amount of stuff we take is swallowed by the various lockers and the huge boot. the modubox has

  Can I reject my Vauxhall Astra Estate? 30 Jul 2010 (Ask HJ)
  You say "the supplier must be given three chances to rectify the fault for which the goods are rejected and must have failed to do so". Does this have...
• Honda Accord Tourer Diesel: 20k report 13 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  ; I'm not too unhappy about this. Other than a mild thirst, the engine remains a delight. There's plenty of power to overtake, and even fully loaded with a 350 L roof box and four people, it pulled hard on the mountain roads in France. Cruising at 90 with a box on top it still did 38 miles per gallon
• For Volvoman 14 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  , then straight across Germany to Luxembourg, Belgium, France, and home. Difference is about 90 minutes driving time (quicker via Poland for us, but not for you I suspect from Slovak Republic). Either drive is great fun, with a sense of adventure. We tend to pit stop a good five times to relax and unwind, which

  Can we reject our Mazda MX-5 because of its gearbox problems? 6 Jul 2010 (Ask HJ)
  Back in March we bought a Mazda MX-5. It's a 2007 57-plate 2.0 Sport. We test drove it and thought the gearbox was a little tricky to get into first gear...

  was in France I managed to fill it with unleaded (badly marked pump is my excuse!) & I then drove it 35-40miles. It sounded unhappy so I investigated & doing the sniff test found what I?d done. Phoned Jaguar Assist & they had someone out in 90 minutes, he took me to Calais where Jaguar Assist had got me

  and the AA man followed us for 5 miles before letting us go on our way to France.   The car was fine until the hot spell at the beginning of October when it overheated again.   Once at the garage I was told that they had
• The car you drive.. 21 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Thinks France is the best country in the world and bores everybody with your limited French knowledge and tales of the Louvre and the Sourbonne. Porsche Small penis or mid-life crisis.

• 150 k Miles in a Berlingo 31 May 2021 (Forum)
  for the family camping holiday in France. So successful was it that the Xantia never went abroad again and was demoted to station hack and bike carrier. As a result Berlingo went way over the mileage for the PCP and we bought it outright in 2008. Overall picture is of a comfortable

• Vauxhall/Audi/Seat - Changing my 2 cars 27 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  here. Overall impression. The high up seating position of this car is great, I can see why these SUV's are popular. As a motorway cruiser it is great. We took it down to the South of France whilst my wife was 6 months pregnant and founds it capable and comfortable. I (perhaps wrongly) think
• 2 weeks in the US - observations motoring & other 13 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  incentivised. On a non-motoring observation - recycling does not appear to have been heard about. It did annoy us that all our rubbish ends up in one bin, I accept that in the UK and more so in France recycling is part of our cultureor soon to be tax structure, but the whole disposable society thing is alive
• Seat Altea XL - first impressions 21 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  , why? Oh, and one gripe I do have, the car only comes with one remote control key, the other is just a normal key. For a car that should be £17.5k, surely you would expect 2 remote control keys? That?s what my Skoda has. Shortly will be taking it to France and back so will report back in a few weeks
