• Petrol level 12 May 2001 (Forum)
  How important is it to keep the amount of petrol in the fuel tank at a reasonably high level, to avoid sludge getting into the system? I normally fill up after the warning light has come on. Is it generally ok to let it get that low?

  How much does the closeness of a dealer to your house influence your choice of the make when buying a new car? When you live in the sticks, as I do, I consider it to be an important factor. -- L\'escargot.

  Is it possible to say what proportion of the average insurance premium relates to the car's value and if so, how much roughly is it? What are the the most important variables in the equation used to calculate our premiums? I'd expect age/ experience/claims record to be at the top of the list.

• A cheap to run luxury(ish) car? Tough one... 25 May 2023 (Forum)
  In his defense, he spends *a lot* of time in his car for his job, and half of it is just waiting around, so he wants to like the inside, and I get that (also I know he wants something "different" to what most people have which is one reason he loved his Lexus but he won't admit this.)  At the same time, he's seen a few imported Mercedes which far exceed all his tech and aesthetic boxes, but in my mind completely miss his needs for low running costs/reliability. I'm very, very slowly getting him to get a Golf mk 7 which I truly believe he will like, and he admits he does, but he's convincing himself that an imported Merc would get him everything he's ever wanted.
