Not sure if anyone saw Wheeler Dealers last night But Mike Brewer bought a second hand 850 T which proved to have a cracked turbo and a emissions part which needed changing involving dismantling the whole inlet manifold.
Remember our local Paramedics being really impressed with these and regretting when they changed to Skoda which couldn’t take the punishment.... Read more

How about us older drivers with electric cars who do not have smart phones & do not want contactless cards? Read more
All very nice but how much are they charging per kilowatt. Rip off charges often make electric miles per pound dearer than petrol!
Hi there i have a new lease car a ds3 crossback got it end of July and noticed something that craps me out each time it has happened...not often but often enough lol
When i have changed lanes on motorways the cars steering pulls left or right...am i right in thinking this is when i am going over the cat's-eyes in the middle of the white lines?... Read more
Just use your indicators when changing lane and then the system knows that you wanted to change lane and will not do this. It is the correct way to drive anyway.
Yes I know. But I see little point in indicating 'right' when joining from a normal slip-road, where there is no alternative. Similarly while moving in after overtaking. Indicating serves no purpose except perhaps drawing attention. Presumably Lane-Assist will object if you behave like this ?...
I am thinking of buying another used car. The car I have is my first diesel, Santa Fe.
I nearly misfulled the car several times and worry about it. Reading about the problems puts me off but hoping on buying a big jeep.... Read more
Just a second comment about the Jeep.

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a used 5dr automatic for my mum, somewhere in the range of £10k. 95% of the time it'll be used as a city runaround. Should be:... Read more
You made a good point about the hybrid battery going cold. But it'll still have to be an auto as she's only passed on the automatic.
That's fine - I only asked as some people have asked such questions when getting older, thinking driving a car with an auto box is easier....
As i might have mentioned before, i have DVD's of the real versions of Tinker Tailor and Smiley's People at home, and once every couple of years treat myself to a re-run.
Have finished watching something, on Youtube, i haven't seen for some 35 years, namely The Jewel in the Crown.... Read more
Nothing wrong inbeing a dinosaur and watching the old stuff, I do myself, re runs of the Bill and Soldier Soldier to name two The modern stuff should not be ignored. Emily in Paris is based in Paris and the scenery in the series is worth the watch just for this. The characters are also entertaining. Well worth watching is The Queens Gambit and you do not really have to understand chess.
Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy my first car here in the UK. I'm 29 years old and had my driving licence since I was 18 (issued in my home country, Romania) and although I've been living in the UK since 2013, I haven't driven here at all yet. ... Read more
Agreed. The A3 is a good one to buy new, as Audis hold their value. But for that very reason it's hard to see a good reason for buying one used, when for the same price you could have a younger SEAT or Skoda.

A son won a Schools Competition when he was 9/10 - organised by the Local Police Force who were running some Schools campaign.
His prize ? An hour's trip out in a Volvo Traffic car - he loved it and was dropped off at the house about an hour later....
