According to @ledauphine a woman in southern France was caught going 99kph in an aixam "voiturette" (no licence required) with advertised top speed of 45kph Read more
The 50k XF for £12600 sounds cheap but it was a BCA Grade 4 appraised car so it will have had its fair share of dents and scratches. I believe that the 204 bhp 11 plate Audi A6 is actually a 3.0 litre rather than a 2.0 and the Prius is a 1.5 rather than a 2.8 litre Read more
Thanks for the information about police

hi, any advise would be great,the front passenger side alloy is getting red hot after about 6mile journey.i have taken the wheel off & i can turn the wheel hub by hand & it seems to turn free with no problems,brake pad does starts to squeel after about 6miles & only stops when i press the break pedal,thanks Read more
Hi,
Suggest you take it for a run and when you get home, take the wheel off to see if the hub still turns. You should be able to see if the caliper/pads has seized. If the caliper/pads are free then its most likely the hub bearing....
Say you had up to £15,000 to put into a car, planned to enjoy it for a year or two before selling it on again, and all with the express purpose of losing as little on it as possible, what car would that be?
(For myself, mileage'll be minimal and I've no intention of ever asking, "Was I really going that fast, Officer?")... Read more
I'd go for an early Porsche Boxster and buy the best I could from a Porsche specialist. Something like this www.911virgin.com/porscheforsale/601/9863.2SManual/
That will leave you some ££ over for one of these www.w124.co.uk...
Hi there,
I've got a rather unusual problem with my A3. Every 300 to 500 miles the car will stall about a mile and a half down the road at a junction. Each time this happens the car will not start again. It turns over and over but will not fire.... Read more
Two possibilities spring to mind IF it has had a code read that comes up blank. One is the in tank fuel lift pump and the other, more likely, one is the crankshaft speed sensor which is a common failure on the BKD engine BUT it is a sod to replace.
I have been told that to replace the faulty dpf unit on my golf will cost me 1500 for the part. This seems high to me, but i have no way of checking it. Does anyone have any advice? Read more

This dealer www.automaticcarsltd.co.uk/ specialises in automatics and over the last few years seems to have made a habit of finding very low mileage Yaris Verso autos. I'm not sure how they find them but considering they were last sold new in 2005 it's amazing they keep coming up with cars that only have mileage in the teens of thousands.
I've never visited or bought a car from them as they're darn sarf where it's easier to find auto's, indeed I've even heard of dealer groups shipping autos from oop north to darn sarf because they're easier to sell in the South East.
