  more presentable to my increasing client list. On this front I have been vaguely looking at dull cars with a twist for example Mondeo ST24\'s that sort of thing. It seems to me that private buyers currently have over optomistic expectations of what cars can be sold for. In some cases wildly over

  at the dealer. The 2004 V70's I've driven seem more "together" and more refined. Had a quick go of an Accord 2.4 VTEC Executive auto and it seemed to be a better quality car than the Volvo but the ride wasn't up to much and I'm not sure it had the overall comfort of the Volvo. Comments?

• Changing Engines Mid Car 19 May 2004 (Forum)
  Hello everyone I have a question which doesn't really relate to me - I'm just interested. Just before I bought my Mark 4 Fiesta, it had a new engine put in of the 1.25 ZeteC S variety. God knows what was in it before. My friend has the same car but has had a 1.6 put in his

• Passat TDI 100k miles - good idea?? 15 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I was looking around at some cars this weekend (a garage that deals in high mileage ex-lease cars, all with FSH), with the intention of perhaps going for a 2000 - X-reg Mondeo 2.0 Zetec with 78k miles. However, I also saw an S-reg Passat TDI Sport with 100k miles. The Mondeo felt like it had done
• Diesel or petrol 29 Oct 2003 (Forum)

• First new car 27 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  and then low insurance, good mpg, reliable and hold on to a lot of it's value. I would rather have a good car that loses a few grand in three years than buy a banger that loses all it's value and costs £100's to repair and insure etc. Cheers.
