Recently purchased a new Yuasa battery for no reason other that it fits both cars and one battery is nearly 6 years old and the other 7. I have a battery less jump starter so I am happy to wait until a problem develops.

Can I just leave the new battery undisturbed on the shelf which presumably is what a supplier does?... Read more

I think the OP has the wrong thinking on batteries.

2 cars each require a battery - agreed....

Thanks for the reply.

the previous owner has purchased a new throttle body as they believed that would have been the error. Could you suggest what wiring etc I could ask my mechanic to look into? thank s...

I see Dacia have dropped the price of their dual fuel (petrol & LPG) cars to exactly the same as their petrol only equivalents.

So presumably the customers are not prepared to pay a premium (as they did for diesel when they had diesel models across the range)... Read more

Tendency for some chains of filling stations to omit gas when they re-furb the forecourt - petrol, diesel & fast charge points!

Hi, my 130k 2.2CDTI suddenly started sounded and feeling like a bag of nails. And the clutch pedal was vibrating. Local mechanic said it’s a flywheel issue and quoted £1k to replace clutch and flywheel.
I love this car but not sure it’s cost effective to spend that much on it. So left it off the road a few months (I dreaded driving it as it was so noisy and I felt sure it would breakdown) and now it’s absolutely fine again! Just the usual grumbling noises for an old diesel. Never had trouble getting into gears or changing gears and don’t think any slipping. Obviously I’m tempted to just keep driving it but I need to do a longer journey soon….can anyone suggest why it’s stopped having the issue or maybe a different theory on what was happening before?
Thanks in advance Read more

The diagnosis you have been given is probably correct. So as you 'love this car' I presume it has cost you very little in maintenance so far - therefore (all else being fine) you owe it to fix this problem and get back to normal. Over its life it has paid for a bit of TLC.

At this age you don't take it to the main dealer, but use a trusted indie. Just don't drive it until it stops dead.

Trilogy.

During the last year the broker we use for house insurance was taken over. Our real amount is virtually the same as last year but we're we're now being asked to pay an admin fee of £50 extra. Is this usual nowadays? And can back room members recommend an insurance company that doesn't levy an admin fee just for renewal?

Many thanks. Read more

There seems to be some bargains around on used Balenos. There was a 2018 1.2 for £4500 on Ebay. I wonder if Suzuki will launch a replacement for the Baleno?

What are these like? Read more

Hiya guys

I recently had a car accident, in which my car was a write-off. I’m a bit confused about the accident management company (amc). ... Read more

Swmbo is about to start as a teacher at a new school which involves a roughly forty mile commute five days a week. As a rough cost this will work out at around £130 a month on fuel using “Venus” the Voluptuous Volvo plus the added depreciation and maintenance cost that throwing an extra 10,000 miles a year at it will entail. Using my old Toyota estate is out of the window as the gaffer hates driving it despite it being far better on fuel and the additional miles won’t really do anything to its already low value. So, what to do?

Her indoors likes the idea of a small electric car to commute in so I did a quick search for deals. List prices are nonsense so buying is out of the question but leasing rates do add up. A new VW eUP! costs £183 a month for a 10k p/a deal over 4yrs. If this were to replace ageing Toyota and take the commuting miles it would largely pay for itself and is surprisingly little dearer than equivalent petrol UP models through the same firm.

Am I about to go against my own advice and experiment with going all electric? The new commuting miles do open up the argument in favour plus there’s the bonus of a guaranteed parking spot too. We need to retain a long range car for family holidays etc so doing away with the Volvo is probably unrealistic but a big battery Leaf or similar could potentially do the job and it would save me forking out £720 on timing and ancillary belt changes plus a service and it’s due two expensive tyres at the back too.

That's concerning. The ID3 was number three on my shortlist. Thought the interior looked sub par. Kona was no2. Liked the seating, less keen on the dash esp the centre consoles. Not keen on the front and the back looked fussy. But the range was amazing. Went for the Mokka e in the end.

If you haven't tried the Aussie flavoured videos, you should give them a try.

I genuinely believe they are amongst the very worst drivers.
