There is no exhaust smoke and no leak under the car when parked but over the past few months it has started using about 1 litre of oil per thousand miles. Is she about to die or could it be something simple ? Please help ! Read more
Thans for the help, greatly appreciated.
I am buying an old Forester for mucking about in. Getting it in a couple of days.
Regarding the seats, my back is very fussy about them. Although I will not be doing big miles I wonder if Saab or Volvo front seats would fit without much complication.... Read more
3dr Hatchback, Passenger slide the seats too fast/hard,will it damage the seat Mechanism?
I have a 3dr hatchback and my passenger moved the front passenger seat forward fast/hard which made a fast movement noise until it went as far as it can go and then bounced back. ... Read more
Ah, I see - not noted the previous post of killer bushes or vengeful kerbs.
And all the plastic in the boot to get scuffed/scratched reminds be of the interior of a Felicia.

Space to do this job is very limited,so unless you have multi jointed hands and some spanners with long reach access,then leave it to a pro.
I've got a budget of around £4K-£5K and I'm trying to find something with a nice interior.
The nicest I've seen is probably a 2007/8 Civic. Anyone got anything comparable, or nicer? Read more
Ok - fair enough, didn't manage to find that on the same forum-hope you are handy with a soldering iron! The last car I had this sort of problem with was a Volvo 480 turbo - lovely car -disgraceful, desperately unreliable dashboard electronics - got it working and sold it !
Took me ages to find it, I read if you do solder it yourself it won`t last long,but I like the car so will buy new unit, problem is not that common just annoying, easy to install as well,...

Is it one of these?...
I am looking for some advise about a messy situation I've inadvertently got myself into.
Around 3 Weeks ago I was stopped by the police, it turns unbeknownst to me the insurance had run out on my vehicle. Its due to a chain of regrettable events, my insurance company had contacted me to talk about a renewal, however I had been at work at the time and asked them to call back, they never did. I stupidly assumed it had renewed and carried on, I had completely forgotten that the company had my old address on their records so all correspondence had been sent to them.... Read more
Are your sure your registration document and driving licence have the correct addresses on them?. If so, then I'd just sit and wait.
If either are your old address like your insurance was, then correct them immediately and write to the plod concerned. ...

I don't know about those vans but I can give you some advice. High mileage on a young van is not a bad thing. What I tend to find with vans and probably cars is lots of heavy local use but only average mileage is far more detrimental than a high mileage motorway cruiser.
