Sounds like a good deal until you realise that almost all models have a 2 year/18k mile service interval, and the max mileage allowed is 30k.
So basically you are paying for one service (Unless you do less than 12k miles in the first two years then another 18k in the third year!) Read more

I've been looking into importing a range of electric cars and retrospectively fitting them with a diesel powered charging system to give the range currently expected of our petrol/diesel powered cars. In principle it would give much further range and low CO2 output. I wanted to ask the forum their thoughts on such a venture as an idea.....i have made a survey to fill out as well which is below. if anyone could fill it out - its only 5 or so questions......thanks :)

As oil starts to get more and more scarce, electric cars or range-extender hybrids will become more attractive. Whatever people say, world-wide oil demand is likely to keep rising, but oil is a finite resouce and known reserves are measured in terms of a few decades at current usage rates. When oil does become scarce, I think priority will be given to heavy road transport, where the electric alternative is not viable because of the weight penalty. Possibly in the longer term, when we've been forced to move to renewables, private motorists will have to make do with electric cars and learn to live with their limited range when they become the only dish left on the menu.

I honestly don't get the yearning for private plates, so last year daahling.
I appreciate this wasn't helpful in the slightest....
I'm buying an 05-reg BMW 1 Series with "xenon" headlamps. I suppose this means only the dipped beams are Xenon but the main beams will just be regular halogen bulbs. Is this so?
If so, is it worth fitting high-intensity main beam bulbs, too? (e.g. Osram NightBreaker or Philips Xtreme).... Read more
Hi can anyone help me, the wipers on my Audi A3 (2004) work once, after switching on the ignition then won't work again. When I listen to the engine there seems to be a buzz\beep noise coming from the engine that stops after about 20 seconds, then a click. They still then don't work for a while.
I've checked the fuse and seems fine and I guess they wouldn't work at all if that had gone. Also checked the bonnet switch and that is working too.... Read more
