  • A tale of three cars. 3 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    In response to an earlier posting on the Auris - reliability IS important but not ALL-important. In 1977 I bought a Fiat 128 3P. It was great fun to drive with an eager engine and sharp handling and I enjoyed every trip. Trouble was it had lousy paintwork and rusted prematurely and was none too dependable (the clutch cable snapped at 15,000 miles and the driver's seat upholstery parted company with the frame).
  • Advice needed re rogue selling 16 Mar 2004 (Forum)
    All My girlfriend has just discovered that the used Mercedes she purchased from a UK Mercedes Benz dealership was an import and that it is worth approx £3k less than an equivalent UK car.

  • Dangerous driving thread 14 Jan 2023 (Forum)
    Following a concern a member had, I contacted the OP and reiterated the importance of speaking to a solicitor. During that conversation she confirmed she would like the thread removed. Thanks to all who provided advice but it's now for a solicitor to get involved.   I'm sure we all wish the OP the best outcome and hopefully we will get an update in due course.

  • Citroen C3 Picasso - "Window Open" alarm 14 Sep 2016 (Forum)
    I've noticed this in other cars but given this new C3 has electric windows in the rear I'm surprised that it's so easy for a passenger to leave a window open and me not notice and there's no alarm ... warnings for everything else go off constantly but not this most important thing ... am I missing something ?
