This could be fun. Has anyone here sold a car on and come across it again? Or seen it on Auto trader or something?
I did see my old Mk1 Mondeo 1.6 Saloon in an Asda car park about 18 months ago, it had 165k on it when i got rid of it over three years ago and its still in four shades of blue but seems to be doing well for whoever has it. It never went wrong, i'll give it that. Read more

This brake problem is on a 2007 Landcruiser, 3.0l diesel automatic.
The brake pedal nearly goes to the floor, although it does continue to stop the vehicle.... Read more
Hi Guys
Currently got a MK4 2003 Golf TDI PD 100 ( 125 k on the clock )... Read more
My rear brake cylinder was leaking.
How long does it take to change each of the rear brake cylinders and do I need new rear brake shoes due to contamination ? Read more
This is a ford escort the most easiest car to fix, so the brake pipe breaks make another and fit it & the cylinder is held on with 2x 10mm spanner bolts sometimes only one bolt hole.
Don't fit a seal kit as the bore wears and these cylinders are so cheap anyway....
I've looked all over the internet for decent LGV training companies, I've read many bad reviews on certain LGV training companies.
My advice to people who are looking to become a lorry driver, please be very careful as some of the bad reviews seem to be written by the dodgy companies out there to make the good companies look bad and therefore steal their genuine customers.... Read more
The above advice is from an experienced HGV driver and well worth following.
Thank you so much, Pat.
Hello there everyone... :)
I'm going to be selling my Mini Cooper S convertible soon, to be replaced with a Fiat 500, mostly because the day-to-day running costs of the Mini are proving to be a lot.... Read more
Not a lot of boot space to start with in a compact convertible. Finding LPG can be a bit of a chore too.
It's usually possible to tease semi decent fuel economy from a small modern car-although some will require more care than others....
Can anyone help with the Correct service intervals for this Citroen. According to the Peugeot 407, with a similar engine, the suggestion is that the Oil should be changed every 15,000 kms and a 'Major' service done every 30,000kms.
But the Service Book on my Citroen states that Servicing should be at 30,000 km. Intervals.... Read more
I have a 407 hdi and the oil recommended is also the most expensive if you have a service book all the service intervals are shown.
I have a CK125, and a problem has loomed whereby in 1st gear, all the lights go out, and the dashboard lights go out. In the other gears (n,2,3,4,5), the lights switch back on. What steps shall I take to check this out? Many thanks GREG Read more
I assume its a motorbike and such you have more chance of an answer in the bikers cafe.
I just found this forum and thought the posters seemed to have good knowledge on motoring.
I wanted to know if readers had any idea where I could buy repossessed cars besides auctions. I have bought a few via auction but is there a way to source the vehicles before they reach the auction and get them at an even cheaper price?... Read more
People in the know generally don't give their secrets away for nowt in order to keep carpetbaggers out. There's no free shortcut to getting a car for less than it's market value.

I have yet to see my old Ford Focus as I part-exed it a few towns away. I have seen my mum's old Daewoo Matiz (hateful little Lego car!). A horrible green X reg. It was rattling up the M6 at top whack! It would only ever go 75mph at best. What an awful vehicle.
