There's a similar number of major brands available in the UK. There are many other manufacturers which are also available, kit cars, specialists such as Caterham etc.
Heads up for anyone who is around at 12pm, or one for the podcast.
I caught the end of today's programme and tomorrow an investigation into why diesel car owners are ending up with very expensive repair bills. Could be interesting as they are slghtly more objective than Watchdog! Read more
Whereas the Peugeot dealership is not somewhere I would want to sit waiting for my cart to be serviced. Or indeed want to spend more than 5 minutes - sad, rundown and noisy.
I'm surprised you bother to get your cart serviced, madf - most of us gave that up years ago. Happy Christmas.

Fixed found a broken wire in the harness from the ETCS
Saw a plot of land for sale on an auction catalogue. The land is presently owned. Plot has only 3 old garages on it that are derelict. The rest of the plot is accessable but needs clearing.
Went to have a look as it is quite local to me. There are low rise flats on both sides. On one side there is a wooden structure that is used as a garage which is on the border of both plots. The red line on the land registry document passes in front of this structure. Apparently the woman who uses this garage, uses the sale plot to access and exit out onto the main road. It is not apparent how long she has done this, and there is nothing in the legal paperwork to say she has permission. As far as that goes her garage is not on this land.... Read more
They lose deposit, but some buyers are happy to do so if completing will see them losing more money.

Oh, it's in Technical already. Why do people have to post the same question twice? This thread closed.
This was posted in my other post about my Vectra.
It was written off by a bus whose brakes failed. Liability admitted. My insurer yesterday offered me £1399. (I paid £1800 in July 2013). After I calmed down I asked what planet this "market valuation" was obtained on. Apparently the engineer uses Glass's Guide and Autotrader.... Read more
nearly had a fit. The car hire bill for 55 days came to over £7k. Worked out to £140 a day. This was for a 12 year old merc C class with 70,000 miles on it (yeah right). Now I know why the rental guy put private reg plates on his motors - to hide the age. I found out by putting it into webuyanycar. Not to worry though - the solicitor swore it won't affect me or my compo claim.
In fact he said the rental man was a cheeky ******* and that he won't get all he was asking for. But he added, "you wanna see the size of his house".

Have you had the fuel filter changed recently, at least two cabs on our circuit have had the same symptoms caused by low fuel pressure cos the filter is blocked, most people including garages dont change them unless asked as it is a difficult and time consuming task bleeding the fuel system to get the air out. If it aint been changed in a while i would put money on that being the culprit

Agree with both of the above posts.
Time of day is key, but I think that far more non company car (and van) drivers have slowed down in recent years due to the price of fuel....

Any chattering / rattling type noises that change when the clutch pedal is pressed and released when in neutral ? Does there seem to be a whine type noise when cranking to start engine ?
They do suffer from dual mass flywheel issues and what with the low biting point and vibration thru the pedal it sounds very much like it's on it's way out ( whether or not it's noisy )...
