I've been quoted £420 from the JCT600 Mazda dealership for a first service on our Mazda 5 Sport Diesel
I've not yet checked what this includes, but does that sound excessive? I didn't expect anything as high as that!... Read more

If the h/brake cable is heating up when cranking then its most likley a bad earth or braken cable as 659fbe states but i have replaced several engine looms on these in the past.
it really should be checked out by a sparky as Andy quite rightly has suggested.
Electrical fires are all too common , not worth dicing with death
I came across this website while perusing "random articles" on a well known online encyclopaedia.
It basically covers the design and operation of the mechanical computer used to calculate the firing of the guns on warships during WW2.... Read more

Hi Lucy. I was involved in a minor accident last November. The third party insurers admitted liability on the phone the next day. Approx 1 month later my insurance company informed me that the third party had raised the question of liability. The third party then paid, without prejudice, my hire car and repair costs. The question of liability is still outstanding a year on. If this went to court, would the initial admission of liability, then change of mind have any bearing on the case ? Read more
This would probably be better dealt with through Private Email - asklucy@honestjohn.co.uk but I assume there are some matters outstanding - possible a Personal Injury?
The answer is yes it would have a bearing on the case but an initial admission is not necessarily binding if additional evidence or information turns up which would justify a change of view.
I am looking to change from my 52 plate Seat Leon 1.8 SE automatic to something a little smaller. I need an automatic due to slight mobility issue with my left arm. I findmyself totally confused by the options, and am hoping for some solid advice from people who actually know about cars (unlike myself!)
My standard month would include a daily commute of just 7 miles round trip, and one or two one hour long jaunts along the motorway network. I am not overly concerned by looks, but value reliability, safety and security. It would be our only car. Any suggestions please?? Read more
This is an interesting topic for me, because I’m starting to think about automatics for similar reasons to Jax – left leg problems in my case. I’d like to see more information about the transmission in the car specifications on this site. Categories could be used – something like Manual, Conventional auto, CVT, VSG or semi-auto. A suggestion for HJ perhaps?
I drove a manual i20 recently and found it had an incredibly light clutch pedal. I couldn't help wondering if they're all like that....

Phone round 2/3 local Mazda dealers - they are not all rip-off merchants.
A few years back I was quoted £350 for a 3rd year service and ended up paying £199 which included a brake fluid change, which was not inc. in the £350. Franchise stamp and about £15 more than the Indie.
