Can you update the address on line?
Not sure though how still having the green the V5C2 slip fits in with a lost V5

<<either at the end of high speed road or top of the long hill, the turbo will have ample opportunity to cool down gradually as you drive into whatever village/town/city you happen to live in. >>
Some people like to do a 'long hill-climb' then stop at the top to admire the view ?...

Hey guys,

Surprised the mods haven't removed the link.
It all depends on the context of a link....
But what will happen to the old Vauxhall factory at Luton that makes ice vans for Nissan, PSA and Fiat? Read more
The least our Government could do is ask for a percentage of the profits from Stellantis. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "It's a huge vote of confidence in our economy, in the people of Ellesmere Port, and in our fantastic post-Brexit trading relationships." what i**** would say that when they are putting millions of taxpayers money into a business basically for no reward.
Business people should run this country not headline grabbing politicians.
Pricing and full details have yet to be confirmed, but the Megane E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid hatch is expected to cost around £29,500 for the entry-level Iconic trim.
Not a bad price to get 30 miles on a battery I imagine that is a price rise of £10,000 over a petrol version( that they have now discontinued) Anyway some idi-t will buy it..
Same a Seat Leon Hybrid is £10,000 dearer that a petrol version. Only £10,000 bargain. Read more
Hi, seen this is a well respected and used forum so thought to seek some advice on here. I am in the market for a Golf DSG ideally no more than £4000 and I've come across the following. My initial worry was that it had 4 previous owners but let me know what you guys think.

As SLO says, terrible choice and terrible idea. The DSG 'box can be reliable, but that mainly depends on how it has been treated and driven by previous owners. So there is no way I'd be looking at a 13 year old example unless it has been owned by someone i know from new, and I know has been driven sensibly and serviced properly. The VW 1.9 turbo diesel engine?, I wouldn't have much concern about that, its reliability and longevity is legendary, but just not with the DSG.
Do you need a diesel and does that have to be an auto?...
Im looking for a medium car to replace my Astra. The Fiat Tipos look good value. What are they like? I sat in one in a Fiat dealer and thought they were roomy and comfortable.
Any advise on a good replacement, Astra / Focus sized car. Under 8k. Read more
If you just want a basic runaround, a petrol Tipo would be fine. Just be aware of what you are getting for your money. The best deals are for the 1.4 n/a petrol which has 94bhp and not an awful lot of torque. Fine in urban environments, but I'm guessing it would be hard going on the motorway, especially with a car full.
Your thread title also mentions the Skoda Rapid (though nothing more is said in the thread). This would seem to be aimed at a similar market position, but the advantage is that an £8k Rapid will come with a choice of 94 or 110bhp 1.0 turbo engines. The turbo, on a motorway, will make a huge difference with more torque at much lower revs, meaning the engine isn't having to work as hard. The main downside of the Rapid is the narrow cabin, so if you regularly need to put three passengers on the rear seat, it wouldn't be ideal. But if you are considering a Rapid, look at the Seat Toledo too which is the same car with a different badge. ...
I’ve been driving a brand new van at work this week. Unfortunately when driving into a tight driveway I hit some overgrown bushes and these have caused some very light scratches on the paintwork.
Is T-Cut the best way to remedy this? Don’t want to hand the van back to the (very fussy and particular) regular driver with any issues. ?? Read more
I use Autoglym polish and a bit of elbow grease for light scratches.
