• Volkswagen Passat GTE - Best way to keep track of admin and renewal dates 5 Jul 2025 (Forum)
  Do you rely on paper reminders, digital calendars, spreadsheets, or use any particular app? I’ve found it surprisingly easy to miss important dates, and I’m looking for any tips or reliable systems that actually work.   What does everyone find works best? Any advice or routines that help you avoid missing key dates?
• Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 06-04-2019 Part 1 1 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  Re Premium fuels. “Particularly important with a Gasoline Direct Injected engine because instead of being injected over the inlet valves the fuel is injected directly so the inlet valves miss the detergent effect of the fuel and can become coated in carbon.”
• Any - Top 10 Most reliable hatcbacks....are you sure? 11 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  Thats not how I would judge reliability. Breakdowns over a year or per 10k miles are surely better measures. Cost of repair is important but its its not in itself a measure of reliability.
• Spares availability - Warranty Claims 19 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  The activator system which pumps up the bench seizes air leaks fluid and has been returned to the manufacturer by the local factor three times. Tried the importers technical department and they were not forthcoming about warranty period or even the length of time they need to keep parts under EC law. They claim 12 months and that's them covered and we have exceeded this by 12 months.
• Used car advice 10 Oct 2017 (Forum)
  I'm looking for something with great economy as I cover around 24k per year, some style and a strong engine as I enjoy driving enthusiastically. The number of seats isn't too important, but I would prefer something with a decent boot. Ideally, I'd like to spend £6-7k, but a little more could be feasible if needed. What's out there? Thanks in advance.

• Confusing appearance with quality. 18 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  I do appreciate that it's a pity, that both good form and function don't always go together, but which is more important - initial showroom appeal or a long lasting quality build? It would be nice to have both, but I know which I would choose, and maybe the tester would also if they were spending their own money!
• Honda Jazz - Next generation Honda Jazz - no European build 4 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Can't imagine that with the unfavourable exchange rate between the Yen and European currencies, that they will be importing from Japan. So presumably that will leave China, Thailand, Indonesia and India as likely sources for the 2014 European Jazz.  Will they also be bringing in the next generation Brio as a city car to sit beneath the Jazz?

• Self-drive classic car hire in Manc / Cheshire? 22 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    Daughter's school 'prom' happens in July (a dreadful US import).  However, I thought I'd see about hiring a self-drive classic a day or two, to chauffeur her & a couple of friends to the event and have some fun myself.   The car would ideally be something from the 60s / early 70s, with 4 seats and a V8  (Bristol, Jensen, Rolls / Bentley, 60s American etc)   I've found a couple of firms on the web, just wondering if anyone has any direct experience or recommendations for companies in the Manchester / Cheshire area?

• Honda CR-V III (2007 - ) - Your Views on The CRV 4 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  I have been out on a test drive and it seems OK, just wondered how non biased people see the CRV as a long term vehicle. I do about 400miles per week so economy is an important factor. I was very disapointed with the Accord Tourer diesel only got 40ish per gallon, so was wondering what I can actually expect from the CRV. Any help much appreciated Roger

• Mazda MX5 (1989 - 1998) - Eunos Roadster - Cat Required? 12 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, I have just bought a 1992 Mazda Mx-5. The car is imported and on the V5, the only date of registration is 1992 i.e. no month specified. Underneath the car, the cat has rusted away, i think it's only the outer casing that's rusted. I plan to get the car MOT'd and am unsure what date of registration voided the need for a cat.
• Which Car for under 2k 16 May 2008 (Forum)
