Sorry a few questions here!
After much deliberation and a few test drives, ans some helpful advuce on here, I'm after a Kia Ceed CRDI. A bit confused. Do I go for something in warranty still and spend £8-10k or would a low mileage 2011/12 with about 40k on the clock be good enough saving myself a bit of cash? ... Read more
Hi all,
I'm after some advice please. First time poster here.... Read more
the symptoms suggest the turbo is not operating as it should, the actuator that moves the wastegate or variable vanes may be faulty, some of these have a diaphragm which may have failed, even though the fault code suggests an electrical fault.
If your engine has the variable vanes these are prone to sticking due to carbon build up....

May be a fault with one of the front door lock electric actuators. You will need to strip off the door cards for inspection.
Sorry to post again so soon. I’ll
Admit I’m clueless with cars so
I could be told any price and if I can afford it I’d pay it.
I have been quoted £499 for a reverse camera and £300 for parking sensors on my Audi a1 sport. One of my brothers who is really in to cars said that’s too expensive and the other one who
Knows nothing but has nice cars said “it’s good that”
Does anyone have an idea what I should be being quoted for this?
TIA A Read more
I prefer camera to sensors.
My previous car had a reversing camera, lens never got dirty / mucky, I could back up to an inch away from something behind the car with confidence. Present car has sensors, they bleep and that's about all. Fortunately there is a little graphic on the on-board display that shows an image of the car and a yellow line that turns red as I get nearer whatever is behind me .. better than nothing.

Thanks for letting us know.
I was suppose to be flying to Tenerife on Saturday for a weeks holiday but have decided to cancel.The Corona virus is getting too serious to now ignore.My wife had shingles last year and this reduces your resistance to infection,there is another 70 mph storm moving in on Saturday and a couple of close members of the family have been taken into hospital recently(not Corona!) so we have made the difficult decision not to go on holiday.We will lose the £1200 that i have paid but I feel that it wouldn't be a relaxing time.What would you guys have done in my position?

In stark contrast to his very much brighter and sadly missed brother Christopher, I don't think Peter Hitchens has ever had an original thought in his life. He could have gone on to say that, much like when small pox, TB and polio were rife, we shall have to learn to live with C-19 until we develop an effective vaccine. Thankfully its mortality rate and survivor morbidity is considerably lower than those three - so far.
In Switzerland we frequently had a glass of wine at the end of the day, some times several.
This is in in Melbourne Australia.

If the standard is the same as Uber taxi drivers who regularly try to drive under the wheels of my twenty tonne coach in Glasgow every day then it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
When I bought a three year old used car last month - after much research - there's no doubt that I was heavily influenced by the 'Used Approved' classification.Pay more but have peace of mind. Not only by recommendations here, but also by their advertising, eg:
"With The xxx Approved Used Car Promise, you can be sure that whatever car you drive away in, it has been checked, checked and checked again to meet the high standards xxx demands from all of its vehicles.... Read more

All Kia service schedules are itemised on a check sheet available from Kia....if a qualified garage uses this check sheet , and used genuine parts to carry out the work , there should be no issues with the vehicles warranty.... Im not advocating having the car serviced outside the Kia dealer network , because there are many advantages in using a dealer , such as automatic recall checks , maintenance of the anti corrosion warranty , and not least peace of mind. It is always worth getting the main dealer to quote for the service anyway , as the "extras" they supply , such as free courtesy car , collection , wash/valet etc , are worth having , and the price may not be any more expensive than a non-franchised garage!! Also consider that , one day , you may want to p/ex your car , and a book full of main dealer stamps will add considerably to its p/ex value. But then , I may be biased......
