• Scrap Metal 26 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  I've got an old car bonnet and some old brake discs to dispose of. Are scrap metal merchants likely to be interested in such things or would I be better taking them to my local dump. Someone said to me yesterday that they would be worth something but to be honest, I wouldn't have thought so.

• Hyundai i30 - Keep or sell at 3 years? 16 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  Just a hypothetical question I am wrestling with.  I have 3 year old Hyundai i30 CRDi (diesel), 25k miles on the clock and full service history.  Car in general runs fine, 55mpg, only a couple of very minor niggles fixed under warranty. A friend of mine suggested that I should sell the car this year and have a layout of around 2.5k to buy a year old i30.

• Are there many non-common rail diesels? 13 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  My CDTI Vectra looks unlikely to last past 90k without some wopping bills. My old tddi Focus did much better. So, as I still need a diesel to cope with the mileage etc, are there any cars (I'm looking at 3 years old or younger) that have a non common rail diesel? I know the old TDDI focus engine was slagged by the motoring press, but it was less troublesome that the vectra common rail (or perhaps any common rail judging by some of the comments on here!)
• Advice on a future used car purchase 31 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  When looking at vehicles not spending much on an older one seems appealing as hear stories of people buying 10 year old cars for 2k and them lasting another 5 years with minimal expenditure - then you hear about other having to spend another 2k on them within months. Similar with 5 year old cars or newer, but then initial purchase is higher as well!

• The future of luxury cars 14 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  With all the different factors such as oil prices, congestion, parking, corporate social responsibility, environmental concerns, company car schemes etc, is it just a matter of time before luxury cars are extinct?
