Take the £12k and avoid Nissan CVT autos.

Looks like the Nissan auto not the most reliable....

Cubans had a ban on importing cars and so were obliged to run their old models for years. The streets are full of old American cars, with a lower supply of ice cars over here will our motorists adopt a similar approach and hang on to their vehicles for a very long time? Read more

If it becomes sunny and we all live off cigars and rum, I'm in.

Some sun...please!

Should you pull the nail out of a punctured tyre before using an aerosol tyre sealant. Some manufacturers advise this. Personally I cannot see the advantage if it is plugging the hole. Also any preferences for water based sealants/foams against rubber based ? Read more

Last week I had a slow puncture repaired. It had lost about 2psi in a month. It turned out to be a nail in the centre, so repairable. £33 quid (no new valve, no balancing) seemed a bit steep but it had good tread and a new one would be £100 or so.

I would never leave a nail in a tyre but it’s not necessarily an MoT failure. I know people who’ve had an advisory and left it in. In an Audi TT no less....

As it’s a fiat radio , your best bet is E bay . Plenty of decode services available here.

I have a feeling speed traps and points on licences are more common place.

After a weekend break in Derbyshire during May I received and unwelcome piece of post. Exceeding 30 mph on a main road due to lack of concentration - camera was fixed on a pole behind me. Then having been away to Devon a couple of weeks ago I received more unwelcome post. This time caught doing 36 in a 30 limit after taking a wrong turn, from behind by a mobile/hand held camera, so that's three points and a speed awareness course - gather the latter is good....

Way back in 60's people got murdered for beeping a horn at the guy infront, unable to find first gear.

TBH, I think there are more 30 limits where at one time there weren't. Usually I drive on my own, on the tw aforementioned occasions I had passengers. In future I must concentrate more!

This is a re-baged Citroen Berlingo / Peugeot Partner so it will be the DV5 engine, derivative varies depending on power and Euro compliance spec. Parts order will be just off the reg which suppliers cross reference to the VIN.

Evening.

Firstly, I apologise if this question has already been asked. Secondly, I know very little about cars, so I apologise if this question is a stupid one.... Read more

I am a member of the Touota club forum for years, I never saw a problem eith the 1.2 turbo units, the opposite owners rev about the reliability. I hd a an Auris 1.2 as a loan car from a dealer once, it felt less snappy than the Avensis 1.8 but only marginally.

Much obliged to me learned friend.

My issue isn't really the reduced speed limit.

Saturday evening it was v quiet, just set cruise and sit there, mpg was excellent! However at other times the reduced capacity and subsequent queuing traffic must be costing UK PLC millions. I'm looking now and the current slow traffic queue is from junction 28 to junction 30, about 14 miles and then another 10 miles around East Midlands airport....

I can't see a red traffic camera in the image.

Maybe a sensor?...
