What a bunch of total m****s. To improve compliance - do they really think people are happy to accept £130 fines but £160 will make them stop. Read more

They're all up to it - just look at what prices have lept by in recent times for all makes, with mild refreshes being used as an excuse to hike prices by thousands.
Finance has helped hide huge price hikes behind monthly payments, and also helped make the price of EVs look 'more competitive' without actually coming down like everyone was led to believe would happen over time.
My interest in new cars is at an all time low - I've totally lost all respect for car makers and will not pay their ridiculous prices - I'd rather drive my current car until it cannot be repaired any more - and then I'll buy a bicycle.
I knew the Mondeo was out of time but didn’t realise the Galaxy is going as well.

The Mk1, along with its platform mates the Sharon and the Alhambra were pretty ubiquitous back in the day, how times change. Read more
Real shame. Had a few of these, (3 original shape and 2 of the post 2006 models) my current one has over 200k and is still going strong. Was only saying to Mrs T today that I’m not sure what we will replace the current one with, when it does eventually give up the ghost. Given they’re now only available as a 2.5 petrol hybrid, I doubt that would achieve the economy we get now.
Not surprised it’s going though, this iteration has been around since 2006 with only very minor tweaks.
Hi,
We need help in choosing the best USED car to replace our loved 2011 diesel Galaxy which after 143k miles needs new gearbox plates which will cost more than the cars worth. ... Read more

Breath can be bated for only so long..........
Hello,
Am hoping to get a bit of advise before taking my car to my mechanic.... Read more
Take it back to whoever replaced the clutch and demonstrate the noise to them and get them to repair it, which is your due.

Good news for ford owners that they last so long or not.

Just shows that with a bit of TLC along with common sense and a smidge of luck, most cars these days can keep going perfectly well for a long time.
I got to wondering what components are missing on your EV.

Tesla has a very complex cooling system for the battery with plenty of bespoke components.
Unlike the Leaf mk1, which had no battery cooling system, making it very unrelaible in hot countries (apparently they have had loads of issues is Oz according to John Cadogan).
I hope they survive and thrive, I am quite fond of the brand for having stuck to proper body on frame construction for its flagship model. I just wish they would change the name, as shallow as that is.
Morning all, and a Merry New Year or something and so on etc to all !
A community brain pick if I may?... Read more
Sounds like we have a similar approach mcint***, I make sure all my cars are kept serviced and maintained properly (just don’t wash them very much !) I suppose my car is a bit like my old dog, a bit tatty, but still functioning and cleans up ok, and I’m fond of him. ;-)
I do the same with my Auris, although at 54000 miles it's barely run-in compared to yours. Not sure I can keep it going to your mileage, which I estimate I will reach circa 2038 :-). ...
Ex work mate had a Montego estate with the Perkins diesel, had 400,000 on it last time I saw him.
