Ref JC "second best". What not buy a dog ramp to assist boot entry. That would remove the restriction in choice and open up the possibility of the Ka sized Picanto. JM

Cant believe the Smart ForFour was suggested ahead of the Renault Twingo. The Twingo is a very good car with excellent dealer support when needed. Oh, and it's far better looking than the 'Smart' version. Read more

Hello, looking for some advice please.
My son biffed a curb in his Fiesta a couple of months ago quite hard, took a chunk out of the tyre which went flat, had it changed at a garage where they said he had broken the TPMS so he opted to just have the new tyre fitted. Its now failed its MOT due to the warning indicator, came up for its first MOT recently think its a 14 year Fiesta. ... Read more
I had a '13 Fiesta on which the system was rotational and '14 Fiesta which was sensors-Contact a Ford parts counter and they will be able to tell you the VIN for the change.You may also be able to get the info from ETIS-just type ETIS into a search engine.Type the reg. or VIN into it and then call up the minor features list.
Hi,me again,what I thought was flat spot,tonight coming home doing about 60 and nearly lighting up time put side lights on right away engine held back,even putting foot down just didn't want to go,of with lights,pulled away like a train,tried it again further on same again,nearly home now put lights on nothing happened this time car ran fine. I'm thinking bad earth any other thoughts please and thanks. Read more
Yes,get somebody to check the rear light operation.Turn everything on and you will very likely find that all the lights come on like an xmas tree.Most definitely burnt/overheated contacts on the rear light cluster connectors.Common problem,similar to Renault.
Hi anyone know what was including in the 2015 facelift apart from the 6 bhp increase to 190bhp and the emission reduction? Read more
So is it literally 6 bhp and lower emissions?
Just had 4 new Goodyear tyres fitted at a very good price......but 2 are made in Germany and 2 in Poland also both the 2 German tyres have jun 17 manufacture date but the Polish tyres were made nov 16 and mar 17
So the question would that bother you or am worrying about nothing and what is acceptable for tyre manufacture date ie one tyre is almost 1 yr old and will it be best to have same country tyres on same axle
AS long as the tyres are all the same tread pattern, I'd not be bothered in the slightest

I saw a friend and his wife a couple of days ago. They 70ish, active etc. but not really 'car people'
They have a Golf V5 auto, year 1999 or 2000 they have owned from new but it is becoming troublesome and they want to change it.... Read more
I can vouch for the Hyundai i10 auto. This is worth a test drive and bears no resemblance to small cars a decade ago. It is good for town/ urban use but also comfortable and quiet on a long journey. All a matter of choice/perception of course but why buy something bigger than you really need ?
Having been a long time reader of HJ in the Telegraph, I have picked up lots of money saving tips and hints so really should have been signed up here before.
In his latest column in the Telegraph an item called "Mum's the word" suggests that if a couple have two insurance policies and are slowing down and coming down to one car then they need to pick one of the policies and use it alone.... Read more

I had an Octavia Scout on lease for 2 years. Skoda Finance collected it 2 days ago. I was surprised to receive an email from Skoda Finance a few weeks ago offering to sell the car to me. Perhaps VW Group no longer want their diesels back even though this was EU6 so not affected by the emissions problem.
