... make to the value of a car?
I am looking at a Sep '08 BMW 1 Series at a BMW dealer, mint, low mileage, full history, three owners:
Owner 1/ BMW - demonstrator
Owner 2/ Jan '09 to Feb '11
Owner 3/ Feb '11 to Apr '11 - apparently his circumstances chganged and he needed a larger car.
How much less is this worth compared to a one owner car everything else being equal?
Thanks.... Read more
Ask the dealer for the previous keeper's details so you can contact them.
I'm in process of trying to sell my CLK, it's in great condition and has very low mileage 24k, however this weekend an interested buyer performed an HPI check on it and it stated that 3 years ago it had 60k on the clock !
I've been onto www.motinfo.gov.uk and found all the old MOT info showing that the mileage on the car is accurate, but this wrong info has put the buyer off !... Read more
I just did a mileage check on a 2nd hand car I plan to purhcase. It's got 64k on the clock, and its looks tie in with the mileage. Yet, the HPI check (thru' the National Mileage Register) is showing 112,000 up to September 2008!
And the history stops there. The seller was speechless. He's now checking. The mileage showing looks like the previous owner used to go up and down the UK every day!! I hope it's a mistake cos I really love the car - drove it, looked very closely and its really nice....
My car has just started making a screeching noise on acelleration after starting up. This goes away after about half a mile. Any Ideas anyone what the problem is? Read more
Focus 1997 TDCI ??????? does not compute.But still sounds like slipping alternator/PAS/AC drive belt.
Having had my 1997 Renault Megane 2.0 RXE from new, it's time for a change. The old lady is bowing out gracefully with a bit of rust on the rear wheel arches and increasingly niggling little problems. Not worth spending much on it now as it's still going to be a 14 year old car and all's downhill now with it. I've avoided the Mk2 Megane, mainly because of reported electrical problems which mine certainly hasn't been plagued with. The new shape Megane is reputed to be a big improvement, so as I want at least comparable spec and performance as the Mk1 RXE I'm contemplating the Megane 2.0 TCE. as a replacement. Any thoughts? I'm aware that it'll probably be a higher insurance group and that the road tax is £200 (less than the old one actually.) and that it won't be economy motoring. Read more

I don’t kids with my husband yet but I still want more
passenger seats for excursion purposes. I like bringing lots of things so a big
car really suits me well.

Hi Guys,
Ihave just come across this Forum, and it really scares me as i have been thinking of buying a Fabia to replace my Felica. As regards the water leaks that have been reported by members, i will add my findings on the subject. Having been a car sprayer for some 35 years, i can recall the time that i did a lot of work for a Skoda Dealer. When the first Fabia models came out it was;nt long before we noticed rust bubbles appearing along the weather strips at the top of the rear doors. Now i know why, did mention it to the Dealer, but as the cars had come in the workshop for accident damage, it fell on deaf ears. Seems to me if you are going to cure this problem by re-sealing the bottom of the doof seal, you are only trapping the water in the door panel and causing more moisture to corrode the panel. If you see lots of little bubbles along the top of the door, it;s too late. You;ve got metal maggot in your doors.

Sorry, I know this subject has been flogged to death, but I would appreciate any advice.
I parked in a local supermarket car park. I overstayed the 2 hour limit by 20 minutes. It was a Saturday lunchtime and the car park was half empty.... Read more
They can apply for any order they want andt a "Norwich Pharmacal Order" which - if granted - would provide a court order to compel the keeper to reveal who was driving.
A Norwich Pharmacal Order would normally require the applicant to show that revealing the information or forcing it to be revealed was in the *public interest* - ie to the benefit of society - not the private interest of the parking company.
Furthermore the substantial costs of a Norwich Pharmacal Order must be paid by the applicant (ie the parking company) and while they are recoverable if granted the application for costs is subject to a further hearing.
To get one would require a full hearing of the court and considerable expense with little chance of either success or recovery....

oxy sensor faults can be fpor a number of reasons including pattern parts ! but as already mentioned you need to post the fault code. An air leak can trigger a sensor fault like wise a lazy cat so please post the fault or fault codes before spending any more dosh.
There is a lot more to diagnostics than just reading a code and replacing a part.

When dealing with explosives, I wouldnt fiddle around unless you know what you are doing. Having said that, it's probably just a loose connection somewhere. The flashing should be a number of times. The number of flashes tell you what type of fault there is.
