    a good option but naturally I'm seeing A4's, Golf's, Octavia's etc. I appreciate for that I'm looking at something around 10 years old too.   What's everyone's personal opinion? I'm swaying toward a 3 series but having never owned one (Always had VAG group Vehicles) I'd appreciate any

  • Why the obsession with 'Line' 13 Dec 2021 (Forum)
    Seems to me that a huge proportion of new cars have trim levels called something Line. Just off the top of my head I've seen S-Line, ST-Line, R-Line and N-Line. Why 'Line'?, what is is for?. When I think of the word line, the first thing that comes into my head is doing lines at school
  • Astra K - Intermittent Central Locking 8 Nov 2021 (Forum)
    N/S/R central locking intermittently won't unlock either from the key or the switch on the drivers door. Works fine using the interior door handle.  So today I removed the door card to have a look. Nothing obviously wrong. There are five wires going to the lock. I'm guessing earth

    it (again in an older model guise) 44th for reliability and bottom for gearbo. So my question is, is there any reason to expect that the new one isn't quite so s***e? Or would you expect more of the same? Any actual owners on here who can vouch for it? Many thanks in advance!  
  • Various - Connected cars 15 Feb 2020 (Forum)

    with such limited comings and goings. One or two of them started up a breakaway  forum acouple of years ago - called something like Grumpy old f***s Village Pub ... but that didn't seem to thrive and it seemed as though the members of that one crept back from whence they came. I've no idea what

  • 90K Astra maintainance 4 Aug 2019 (Forum)
    The Astra has just clocked up 90k miles, and ideally I would like to get another 30k out of it before it gets scrapped. It´s a 1.8 16V on a V. CDX trim, all the bells and whistles, and we really like it. Plus if it keeps going for another few years it means we can afford to keep the beautiful
