    Hi my family are considering buying a SEAT Altea S TDi on motability. I owned a SEAT Ibiza SDi ten years ago which was very economical and mechanically solid, but the build quality was poor. I gather the quality on newer SEATs is a lot better and are the cars still mechanically good. Also

    Hi, I have lost drive on the n/s front wheel discovered after jacking up the front end. Guess this is a drive shaft issue but is this an easy remedy with replacing or not cost effective? How difficult is this to replace DIY or garage.  The car now has 250,000 on the clock but still

  • Most impressed by 17 Apr 2020 (Forum)
    but they way they feel on the road. Nissan Skyline GTR - rare that I like such performance metal but these are actually quite civilised and despite all the tech it feels alive under you. A joy to drive fast but quite capable of a quiet run to the shops. Ford Mondeo Mk I 1.8 LX - I was amazed at how right
