Please can some assist me and tell me how I can legally progress with this. Our car has been in a garage for months whilst they waited for a turbo, we had it back for a day then something else happened it went back in and we have just got it back. We accused the garage of using the car whilst they were waiting for the part. We got it back yesterday, today I looked at the MOT history only to find that the mileage is less than it was on the MOT history from previous year and this is reflected on the cars display, we are livid as now this will cause issues if we decide to sell. I really want to take this all the way Read more
Ford Transit, not used for over 3 weeks, now the key fob has not charged, So where do you find the hidden lock for the manual key.? Read more
Lock on drivers door , they all have them .
I think I have found the perfect vehicle for me to move into an EV for my work. Perfect regarding its dimensions (similar length and width as a Honda Jazz!), its payload, its range(*), and its looks(!).
This is a German company who have come up with a brilliantly simple modular light electric utility vehicle concept. You have the base architecture which includes the chassis, running gear and cab. On to this you choose from 8 modules, whichever suits your needs best, but the beauty is (if you have the space) you can choose more than one and swap them at will. Apparently no special tools are required. ... Read more
The solar roof seems to be a trick other manufacturers have missed (as far as I know).
One of the videos I watched on the XBUS featured a few cars/vehicles from other smallish German start up companies. One of these was the Sono Sion, which is a family car covered in solar panels. It does give it a kind of unfinished look, but I'm sure plenty of folk wouldn't worry about that!....
Hi,
I bought a used 2014 Vauxhall Corsa and had it delivered due to the distance of the dealer. I took the punt based on a perfect MOT history, no serious advisories and no registered accidents with the vehicle.... Read more
Assuming you didn't visit the sellers premises at any time during the purchase process then you are covered by Distance Selling Regulations and have 14 days to reject the car.
A friend was shunted from behind in a traffic queue. All captured on rear dashcam. Looks like sub- 5mph. Other driver admitted fault and very apologetic, doesn't want to go through insurance. Bumper looks undamaged but rear panel pushed in v. slightly and hatch lock is tight. Needs pulling out a little I think.
Should she report to her insurance right now or wait for a proper damage assessment and see if the other driver pays up directly? Is there a time limit on reporting to insurance co? Read more
I had similar crash in old Triumph 2.5PI - slight bumper damage.
Went through insurance - boot floor was damaged as was sill behind bumper.. Cost £c750 (forty years ago!)
We want a 4x4 and we have maybe what some will say an odd choice. It will me shared between my son and I, so decided on one or two cars
1. Buy a cheap well maintained 2.0 CRV ( around 2005 ) for £1500 plus a cheap petrol car for around £1500... Read more
Consider a PCP finance lease on a Duster
There are a few petrol with LPG versions in stock if your not fussed on colour
Lease it for 3/4 years then hand it back.

How is some of this any different to scrolling through menus on those tablets installed on/in the dashboard?
Surely that makes many of their functions illegal? Read more

Have a ford focus 1.6 Tdci that sometimes after changing into 4th or 5th gear the revs will increase slightly (around 200rpm) with no speed pickup, then drop and the speed picks up. This can happen 1-3 times in a row fluctuating then once going it's fine.
A similar thing can happen when travelling in 4th/5th gear at say 60 then look to increase speed but the revs increase slightly with no increase in speed before revs drop and speed picks up. Again the revs can fluctuate a few times before stabilising.... Read more
Thank you for updating us. A clutch that's on its way out will nearly always make itself felt in higher gears, so it was pretty much a foregone conclusion.
Having bought a diesel car this week which is 9 years old and has about 66k mileage i was wondering what people's thoughts are on looking after the engine, is it worth adding fuel cleaners occasionally when i fill up? Is Shell Diesel really better quality and better for the engine than supermarket diesel?
It's a bit confusing as you say i'd almost certainly have a major engine repair? Yet others say diesels engines are far more longer lasting providing they are serviced on time etc

Hi, I'm having trouble with the alternator on my car.
I replaced the original one because it wasn't charging anymore and replaced it with a Remanufactured one from a local company. This one worked and charged the battery but had a whining noise most noticeable at idle. I sent it back and got a replacement which made the excat same noise. I then got a 2nd hand original Ford one and the whining noise had gone but the 2nd hand one was on its last legs. I then went to Euro Car Parts and purchased a lucas alternator which is now making the same noise as the first ones. Any idea what it could be?... Read more
A Very short waft of WD 40, while it is running will sort it, temporarily at least, and should do no harm
