Has anyone on here had any problems? ... Read more
The 1 litre Sirion uses the same engine as the Toyota Aygo and Yaris See http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/aygo-2005/?section=bad and http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/yaris-2006/?section=bad
For various reasons I've been all over the place this week. Mostly Suffolk & Essex and I have an observation;
The roads are abysmal.... Read more
You're too young to remember the Thatcher or Major eras in which the NAtional Debt/GDP ratio was as bad or worse than now?
OTOH if you're that young you might recall overcrowded schools with leaking roofs and the 'squatter camp' in Lincolns Inn Fields? ...
Hello,
Bought an old fiesta from an old neighbour. Have got it up and running and street legal. If anyone could provide the keycode for the radio (m026428) I'd be grateful. The original unit (3000) has been changed to a 5000. The keycode in the log book must refer to the original as its not working in the current... Read more
That works. Thank you. Radio is working. Now time to find some decent tapes!

Well what a warm welcome we have given Blue Ivy!
Yes it is rude to shout, but it doesn't warrant the reaction it has - I was taught that two wrongs don't make a right. Blue Ivy has come here for help, so why can't we provide it in a polite way. I doubt the OP meant to cause offensive....
Hi,
I've seen an approved used car for sale on the mazda official website, which exactly fits the spec I am looking for. Unfortunately it is 4 hours drive away.... Read more
In May 2013 bought a Maxda approved car (MX5) from a dealer in Cheshire: seen on the net and Mazda's own website 'approved cars. Reserved over the phone and they kept the car for me until I had the time to travel over. Offered me th best PX of any quotes that I had gained for my Cooper.No commitment to buy the car if I didn't like 'in the flesh'. The vehicle superbly presented and I had the option to return withn 1 months if I didn't like it. NIce long test drive too with no obligation. (Oakmere Mazda by the way)
Superb car and some £2k cheaper than I could have bought here in Anglesey. I've never stopped smiling since!...
I have always used either the RAC or AA for breakdown cover, but I have had a quote from Green Flag which is a lot cheaper. I've never actually had to call anyone out so I can't compare. Can anyone recommend Green Flag. There is also a company called Green Insurance which does really cheap breakdown cover, however, the reviews are horrendous so I don't fancy trying them. Thanks.

I'm in Autoaid and had to use them once (bust gearbox).
Breakdown truck arrived after an hour, loaded car and took me home....
Please can you help me. .
I had a new clutch fitted last week and when my car was returned I have found that I have no radio access.
The radio is a 4500 RDS E.O.N... Read more

Welcome to the forum, Marin - possibly our first from Croatia.
As suggested above, the hybrid is at its best in town driving:if that was what I mostly did, I'd have a Prius. But if you do a lot of driving on the open road, the performance is not that great and the CVT gearing leads to noisy and frenetic acceleration....
