  Buying a used car - petrol or diesel? 6 Apr 2015 (Ask HJ)
  I'm looking for a five year old car, with a budget of £9000. I'm inclined toward a diesel due to the low-down torque and economy, but also think that a...
• Breakdown Cover (again!) 24 May 2025 (Forum)
  I was quite happy to renew when on the payment page I noticed a cross next to the ‘cover for cars over 15 years old’. I clicked on this and it added cover for cars over 15 years old (the MX5 is 21) and suddenly the annual price changed from £59 to £75.  Is this a new thing with Autoaid?
• Toyota Aygo - Toyota 10 Year Warranty - Suspension 5 Dec 2024 (Forum)
  If I had a 2 year old car with say 20,000 miles on the clock and the suspension failed, I think I could get it repaired under warranty. The car has always been serviced by Toyota to fulfil the terms of their 10 year warranty: https://www.toyota.co.uk/content/dam/toyota/nmsc/united-kingdom/owners/warranty/toyota-warranty/toyota-warranty-ts-and-cs-june-2022.pdf The car is 7 years old and has 47,000 on the clock.
• Peugeot 308 SW - Battery completely dead 12 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  I think I know the answer to this question already but it's always good to ask. My car is a ten year old 308sw diesel. Unlocked my car with the remote, got in, turned the ignition - one click and - not even a flicker of power. No interior light, no radio, definitely no engine turn.

• No FM/AM by 2012 19 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I've just heard on 5Live that both FM and AM radio are to be switched off by 2012 and everyone will need some kind of DAB receiver to listen to the radio. Now I don't know how many new cars are being produced with DAB in them or as an option but I suspect that there will still be plenty of 3+ year old cars knocking around by then relying on good old FM/AM. I just think this is crazy, I'm not sure what is happening on the Continent but are their new cars going to have their FM radios swapped out for DAB ones when they are imported?
• The rules have changed for bangernomic motoring 13 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  id=5604 So the rules have changed. Shoudl the canny buyer be looking at a massively depreciated 3-5 year old car rather than a completely depreciated 8-10 year old, with a view to hoping it lasts him several years?
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 2003 TDCi - Exhaust failure pipe into back box 8 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  May 2003. 42000 miles I'm somewhat suprised to have found the rear section of my exhaust has failed. Yes I know the car is over 4 years old but I have a 14 year Merc SL with the original exhaust. I don't know of anybody who has replaced an exhaust on on a car less than 6 years old. Is this a common problem? Going to see the Ford dealership tomorrow for them to inspect...their parts department has confirmed they have never sold an exhaust for such a young car.

• Long-life batteries 6 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  Sorry if this is an old chesnut, but as a newish member haven't seen it come up yet. My Volvo 740 purchased in 1998 is still on the battery I aquired it with. The friend I bought it off didn't fit it, so battery must be at least eight years old, only time it has failed to start car was once when I topped it up, guess I diluted the volts.
• '95 306 1.8 SR Sedan brake bleed nipples 30 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Greetings, All. I would like to change the brake fluid on SWMBO's ten year old, very neat and tidy, 31k mile 306 1.8 SR Sedan. The fluid has never before been changed in the car's life, and I'm concerned about shearing bleed nipples like I did Donkey's years ago on my MG Metro when the car was only three years old.
• BMW 528 15 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  Why on earth do people bother to buy new cars from UK dealerships. I have recently acquired a 528 Touring, 4.5 years old with the remainder of the BMW warranty for only 10K. A 35K car(with the extras), with thankfully someone else taking the vast majority of the most expensive element of motoring from me ie DEPRECIATION.
• from a big v6 to a small diesel - HELP! 7 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  All of them were fantastic cars but as an old fashioned car lover, the rattle and the smell at the pump arent really for me. Not sure why but they dont feel right but times can be hard and Id rather have the cash in the bank than the pump.
