  Comment: So you think that navigation systems are lost? 25 Jun 2015 (News)
  And as it turns out, that’s six-tenths of the current fifth biggest consumer electrical market in the UK – and one that's doing an Alan Partridge. It's bouncing back. Here’s why: “there are round about 32, 33 million cars on the road [in the UK], and at the moment not all cars come with built-in navigation - it still tends to be the more premium cars - so actually there are tens of millions of cars out there that don’t have built-in navigation,” says Tom.

  Opinion: Keep your friends close and your mechanics closer 16 Aug 2016 (News)
  I passed my driving test in 1994, which was an interesting time for the car industry. It was, very much, the dawn of the electronic era, as cars moved away from being simple and easy to maintain towards being ever more electronically controlled and ECU-reliant. They were interesting times, and possibly the last days in which young people were positively encouraged to learn the true art of car maintenance.

  New Michelin Primacy 3 Premium Tyres: Are They 3 Ways Better? 21 Oct 2011 (News)
  Obviously a tyre that stops a car in a shorter distance mitigates any damage to other vehicles or people, even if it does not completely stop the car before impact. Better to hit a pedestrian at 5kmh than at 8kmh, for example. We were invited out to a specially constructed ‘urban’ environment near Valencia to put this to the test.

  eBay Auction Report 24th October 2006 25 Oct 2006 (News)
  However, the vendor claimed that he bought the example he was selling after an extensive search primarily because it was registered in the UK as a new car. Inferring from this that it was a new car imported without being used elsewhere means that there was someone in the early nineties who certainly had their eye on the world car scene and had the money to dabble in it.

  Used Van Buying Guide: Volkswagen Caddy 2010-2015 16 Jun 2025 (News)
  It’s less common on newer pumps, so try non-Volkswagen stock, as often they’ll be old stock items and can fail quickly after being replaced.

Servicing is typically £230 for a major service, or about half that for a minor service. Front pads will cost just under £100, add discs to that and you’ll double that, so running costs, any problems aside, are reasonable.    Pricing A 2010 Caddy will start at around £3500.
