I got a cracking deal on a merc today over £90 cheaper a month than other merchants such as car shop . Fair play , I can see how they profits are booming!

The Gingerous One

Yes certainly they're better than previous generations but technology moves on and the latest will always be better plus the likelihood of a decade old airbag firing properly at the correct pressure is low. Ncap scores also change becoming more difficult and a car that scored 5 stars ten years ago would more likely score 2 or even 1 if tested today.

Management was running a 12yr old Civic when junior decided he was coming so thus the reason for a new CRV tank. I would've trusted that wee Civic to go round the globe but no Isofix etc etc meant it had to go.

Hi all.

A while back where I went into the back of another driver who was stationary in the road waiting to turn right. At the time I was observing some idiot driver in the rear view mirror, then looked round to see this car in front of me which I then hit on the left hand rear of the car.... Read more

I have recently received NIP for speed driving at 52mph under 40mph restriction on motorway. I have been asked to pay £100 fine and also been offered for DAS. I have got non EU driving licence, and my driving test is been booked for 10/11, can I just pay the fine and send them the copy of my non EU licence or would I be asked for any other document after that. The only thing is I just came to know after I received the NIP when I checked on internet that Person with non EU licence can drive only for first 12 months. Is there chances that I could be prosecuted, prisoned or banned from driving for this or amount of fine be increased, Or is there a chance that once I pay fine and send them copy of my licence that won't be asked for my arrival date in U.K. Really getting panic attack since got NIP please do advise.

As suggested above, post the details on Pepipoo and go with their advice - you're clearly in a "damage limitation" mode as you readily acknowledge.

I'm sure they are great cars - until something goes wrong.....

Seems to be a lot of battery fires lately, would be interesting to find out what is causing them, preferably before anyone gets badly injured

Hi need advice on whether to go A6 or E class? Looking at a saloon on a 63 /14 plate diesel 2.0 tdi or E220. Anyone suggest the better car or things to look out for? Are the merc belt or chain driven? Read more

Superb and the A6 of the 2013/14 era seem to share very little.

If these migrants are moved to areas of France and registered in France, does this mean they will be issued with French passports which would then allow them to enter the UK under the EU's freedom of movement? Read more

Hi All

Further to my post a few weeks ago about what I believed was a noisy fuel pump, I started noticing a smell of petrol in the car when I got in after leaving it overnight. I keep an empty petrol can in the boot for emergency topups, and thinking that maybe this was the source of the niff I removed it and put it in the shed. Sure enough, the smell went away. ...

Hi all
Has anyone used the new online system to transfer you private plate onto retention? Is it quicker that filling out and sending off the endless paperwork? I'm thinking of selling my car and want to get it back on the original plate asap

In one case, it was virtually instant - he had the new reference numbers there and then, and the new V5 2 days later.

The other case it took 4-5 days....
