I was already prepared to keep my 5 year old car for a lot longer anyway, thanks to obscene new car price inflation in recent times.

This is the longest I've ever owned a car for - and as it is still working fine, I've resigned myself to spend the extra on a major service, new tyres and brakes to keep it going for possibly another five years as a two fingers up to the greedy car manufacturers and their ridiculously high prices.

Regarding we buy any car this is good if you want quick sale but be warned your original price is not what you will receive when you go along the person will knock off up to around £700 off price quoted and don’t listen too the high pressure emails saying your time is running out take the price now I had a vw transporter I got offered only £18000 for it at 2.1/2 years old ignored the offer and when time ran out they emailed me back upping there offer by £800 I still ignored this as I knew that would be knocked off on inspection

I sold my vehicle private for £24000 so be warned quick sale yes low price yes or hold out sell private then go buy your new wheels it worked for me good luck everyone and watch for scams keep yourself safe and cover everything before letting vehicles go ,,,,

I kind of like it, but almost £40k for an entry level Kia (or any mainstream manufacturer) sounds like a great way to lose tens of thousands of pounds in depreciation.....or throwing away all that money each month to end up with nothing in a few years time from a finance deal.

Since there are a lot of people trying to profit from this Pandemic by selling overpriced masks I'd thought I'd share this. You can get a free mask from getasafemask.com

I'm no medical expert E A but I'm fairly confident they won't work in that position. I'll give it a try and report back!

So in a world of self-service filling stations, how is it possible to obtain fuel if over 70?

The advice is too inflexible. Just saying.. Read more

It was really a relief for many seniors. It's wonderful to see steps being taken to ensure their continued independence and mobility. The catch mentioned in the article seems like a fair precaution to keep everyone safe on the roads.

Now that the Coronavirus panic has halved my pension pot and put my livelihood in jeopardy, I'm so gutted I won't be able to take delivery of a small hatchback for almost £30k !

That's me being sarcastic by the way (about current car pricing, not the other bits). Read more

The mk 5 golf uses a completely different setup to the previous model . There are a number of relays in the engine bay fuse (depending on spec) ,one of these may be the injection relay . Again , there could be a fuel pump relay behind end of dash fuse box . Depends on spec and Petrol/ diesel variants .
