I'm looking for a first car for my 18 year old son and have seen a possible option in Cargiant. It's a 2018 model. However the HPI check shows a 380 mile reduction when it was a year old. It looks like the mileage was entered correctly, then increased for some reason on the same day and then changed back down two days later.
The records are as follows... Read more
I thought some of you might find this of interest if you didn’t know already, there is an independent UK verifier of oil spec
ukla-vls.org.uk/
I didn’t realise they existed till a YouTube channel I watch mentioned them.

Actually "How Compliant Is Your Oil"
Not necessarily the same thing.
I have basically the same situation as this poster (www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=174646...4), only the reason I didn't receive the NIP is because I forgot to update the v5c Log book with my new address - I only updated on my drivers license. Consequently, when I had a speeding offence 6 months ago, the NIP was sent to an old address. I am now charged with failure to respond (they managed to find my correct address for to send the SJPN (presumably from my drivers licenc and car tax etc... - What is my best option in order to avoid the 600 fine and increase in insurance premiums?

Your only real option is to get a good solicitor who can eloquently argue in your favour with some sob story or other, like Nick Freeman does.
When its is sunny I find reflections from dashboard tops and in the windscreen distracting, polaroid clip-on glasses stop these but I remember rally cars with matt black dashboard tops which would solve the problem.
Do any detailers do this mod these days? Read more
Dash covers are fairly.common in Australia too. As much to stop the dash from cracking as to prevent reflections.
If it causes you £80 worth of bother, you can buy them for UK models here. I have bought floor mats from this company before, so can vouch that they do exist.....
Hi. My son in law paid £5k - took out a loan for this used car a few weeks ago. Since then, it's constantly found with wet seats in the car rear. He has travelled a few miles to the warranty specialist to get repaired but they can't find the problem. The dealer now won't help either. He feels the dealer has known about this as the car stood outside before purchase. Can anyone help or advise? Read more
Dacia specific forum would be my suggestion. If it's a common issue, you'll find the answer there.
Decades before I moved here there was infill building behind the row of houses (semis and small terraces) on the open land behind. The council built two blocks of two storey pensioner flats. Since I moved here people have come along the service road to park at the bottom of their back gardens on short drives or in garages, as door mirrors, etc. are at risk on the main road out front.. Anyway the cash strapped council (although happy to waste a fortune on irrelevant jobs and pointless projects) have now come up with a cash generating wheeze! They have decided deiced that non-council tenants (the properties are now a mix of council and ex-council\) should pay an access charge over their land (the road) at higher rate than resident's parking permits nearer the centre. Google says the road is a public highway so whilst the council have to maintain it do they have any right to make it a toll road for some? Read more
OP has stated its a public highway maintainable at public expense, so vehicular access right is a given.
Hi all, this is my first post here.
We are looking for a used car (age: 2020 or newer, budget: £15-25k) as our family is expanding. The plan is to have 2 car seats at the back row. Ideally, a passenger should sit inbetween them but I know that this is almost impossible. Therefore, we are open for a 7-seater option as well.... Read more
Thanks badbusdriver for your recommendations!
How would you compare the Kodiak with the Kia Sorento?...
Heya, strange question but any help appreciated. Im trying to find out how much the New Photocard driving license cost when it was introduced in 1998/99. Nobody seems to know including the DVLA. So imagine you had a paper provisional, then you passed your test in 1999, and applied for your full driving license with the new photocard, what was the fee?
... Read more
We are required by an EC Directive to issue photocard licences to all UK drivers by 29 July 2001."
That requirement must have changed as we moved to our current address in April 1999. My updated driving licence was paper and it still is. Never had a photocard one, although that will have to change in 6 years when (if) I reach three score years and ten....
Thinking about the Dacia Duster Diesel, I've read on some forums there were issues with the clutch, or are there any other issues I need to look for?
... Read more
Not sure on the Dacia but on every other Renault 1.5dci I've seen it is a hydraulic clutch with a master/slave.
I can't remember the last car I saw a clutch cable on. Probably something from the 1980s.
Anyone booked a Holiday there ? You might want to check out the news before flying. Looks like another revolution brewing ( to me). Read more

Tink that'd be a counter-revolution, pretty much by definition....

I think that would be vexatious (to use a legal term). I don't see any reason to suspect that the car should show a higher (i.e. cheaper to you) mileage, and unless you have solid grounds to suspect the seller to be responsible I can't see just cause to try it on.
