“A van that you bought 5 years ago, have done 50k miles in, and are now selling on for a third of what you paid for it, is not part of your business.”
Correct.

The dash display on my focus has become very intermittent and I was just wondering if anyone has a repair carried out by them.
Hello and good afternoon. I have a Toyota Camry 2.4vvti vehicle (year 2002). It has 80,000 miles on the clock. From cold, it struggles to start on about 80% of cases. It will try to start whilst I crank, but will not start. When you try again after perhaps another attempt or sometimes twice, it will start. Otherwise the car runs well. The engine warning light is not swtched on..

Taking it to a Toyota dealer may end up being cheaper than a "keep fitting new parts" approach.

Thanks all for your replies, went to BCA before seeing all replies. Bid on a car but it went over budget when costs were added so left it.
Found another at a vauxhall dealership which had been part ex'd for exactly the same as bid price; Service, Mot, 6mth Warranty and saving £600 fees! Result!
Take a typical hybrid car and look at any review facts and figures, it only deals with what goes on with the internal combustion engine part of the car. Engine size, number of cylinders, power, torque etc. As far as the electrical specification of the car, what do we get - almost nothing.
We only get mpg figures but no details about how much electrical power is used. Only half the story....... Read more
IMO it's about time the OEs started quoting fuel economy figures for electric vehicles, either in Whr/mile or miles/kWhr.
How many do you expect to understand that, a lot cannot work out how much electricity they use let alone Whr/mile or kWhr ...
Hi, i am new to the forum and hoping someone can help advice a car novice.
Over the past few weeks, when i first drive my car, when it is cold, it has very little power. This lasts for about 4-5minutes then it is fine. I have no problem starting the engine and initially all seams well, then power drops to the point that I think the car may stop. I have to drop my gears back down to first then slowly build back up.... Read more
Sadly ,fault codes are only a rough guide and without any data and real time values ,are pretty much meaningless. You say the car is not in good condition,does this mean it has not been serviced recently ,if at all ? Start with basics .How about spark plugs,and of course the air filter Mr H has suggested?
Hi all.I have just bought a Corsa C, 02 with 100000 on the clock. It has a horrid oil leak around the timing cover area,Now I'm not an expert by far but set about curing it.I took off all the ancilaries then the timing cover,tensioners and chain etc(After setting it up with the special things to stop the engine moving inside.I removed the timing case gasket,cleaned the surface ready for refitting.I replaced the crankshaft seal, and noticed a groove in the crankshaft pully hub(Wow I,m getting into this) din,t think no more of it. I put two lines of cylicone where advised by haynes, and refitted everything.also put cylicone on the gap where the gasket stuck up,I cut off the excess gasket first. changed the oil filter and refilled car with oil.I still have a slight leak would the groove in the hub cause it to leak past the new crankshaft seal.
feeling great that I took it all apart and refitted everything.so not scared to strip it down again if need bee, but will wear stronger gloves next time Nails are ruined lol. Read more
Ty for yourassistance I will purchase one then see what happens.xx

I suppose that's what we get when we continually elect politicians who are (IMHO) essentially in the pocket of vested interests, whether they be the corporates, unions, pressure groups/so-called charities etc etc. Very few are properly independent and deep thinkers who actually weigh issues on their merits before voting/voicing an opinion in the best interests of their constituents.
