Yes, new V5 with the original registration number . The cherished number retention certificate followed on a few days later. The vendor can’t sell the car until his paperwork is in order , if he wants to retain the private plate.

His voice was one of the sounds of my childhood. I watched a few you tube videos of his efforts. Lots of good memories.

Hi. I am writing this as I have just purchased an 61 plate Audi A6 and I am not sure what the value of it really is, I have checked honest john, autotrader, and other website, and i get everything from 6900-7700, but I had thought it would be worth more than that so here I am asking the people, and what their opinions on my cars value is.
Its the newer model which was in production from 2011-2018, its in dark grey.
2011 Audi A6 SE, 2.0 TDI
Saloon
45000 miles on it
2.0 TDI
Full service history from Audi Garage
I am the third owner, 12 month mot, 4 brand new tyres, has passed all mots in its history.
It is faultless and been well looked after, body work 9/10.
First registered November 2011

I purchased it cheap for 5200, but the car is currently in Denmark and I will have to go and collect it once the lockdown and travel restrictions end (It is and english car though)
Just wanted some people with a bit of knowledges opinion as I thought what different website had valued it at was quite low
Thanks Read more

My guess is it's worth about £7000ish trade price so add on top of that whatever you think it is worth as a private/dealer sale etc.

Prices have not gone down - in fact, like pretty much every used car at the moment - it is probably worth more than it was this time last year....

I'm on the hunt for the next family car. I've recently found these two models, a Suzuki SX4 S-Cross and a Seat Ibiza 1.2 TSI. Both have decent pull, good mileage and imo impressive MPG. Any thoughts on the two?

I would never knowingly oversize but that's my preference. I'm looking to upgrade mainly due to the state and age of the car (Note 2006), but some extra boot space is also necessary. I think estates might be the way to go.

Thanks for enlightening us about your current car. That will help people advise you better. What would help now would be if you told us about your space needs for the foreseeable future....

Hi all,

A mate of mine is about to come into some money and is going to treat himself to circa 24k's worth of VW Golf R, the lucky sod!... Read more

My question is: how likely is he to be able to negotiate some discount on the forecourt sticker price?

Depends on the dealer, the car and your friends negotiating skills....

Never fitted an electric lift-pump in my life. I see dozens on ebay for 10-15 quid. Can anyone vouch for reliability of particular make/model? Or maybe have wind of a mechanical repair kit....not done one for donkey`s. Or cheapo complete pump. Again, seen plenty pumps/kits on ebay, usually for tractors, but Sherpa truck(I converted fwd Maestro saloon engine to fit it 15yrs ago), is not with me to get any numbers off pump. Cheers Read more

Many thanks Doc for your quick reply, I`ll give that one a whiz.

I mentioned in the other 'Avant' thread that I've been in touch with one of his daughters. She has messaged me today to tell me that the family have come across some original copies of Autocar Road Tests dated between 1954 and 1962, in varying conditions that belonged to her father.

She has very kindly asked whether any of us motoring enthusiasts would be interested in them. They were clearly valued by Avant and I'm sure he would be pleased to know they are going to appreciative readers. Similarly many of us who held Avant in such high esteem may be delighted to have a momento.... Read more

I'm just bumping this up to the top of the pile, in case anyone missed it over the weekend.

If there are no further expressions of interest by Wednesday, then we'll consider it closed and then I'll get in touch with Avant's daughter in due course.

I recently noticed some noise (kind of single small clang) that occurs on turning or going over something. It's coming from the front wheels.

I looked behind driver's wheel and found something not quite right (a loose/missing bolt?) - see pics:... Read more

Seems like the powers that be have got the message removing the hard shoulders on motorways was not a good idea. A bloke is breaking down, two insects on his windscreen sing to him to go left. Lo and behold he conveniently finds a yellow pull in area. Break down on a smart motorway and you don't make a pull in you are in serious trouble. Read more

<, Once you start expanding the road then planning becomes an issue. Would have held the thing up for years. And that's before Swampy and his mates start digging holes. >>

And with the drop in traffic during Covid, perhaps the M-ways didn't need the extra lanes anyway ?...
