• Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost 125 Titanium - Test Drive Car not available ? 18 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  Obviously I refused this offer. I telephoned another dealer and arranged a test drive there within the hour. completed the test drive, sorted out the money side and ordered the car. I just can't believe that a dealer would loan out a vehicle which was booked to be test driven on the same day resulting in a loss of nearly £18K

• Sat Navs 2 Oct 2022 (Forum)
  Can anyone recommend a good Sat Nav to download on an android phone? It would need to include driving lanes and instructions on which lane to use as on my last drive on the mainland, I got a PCN for driving in a Bus Lane. Living on the Isle of Wight where there aren't any bus lanes and or motorways - other than half a mile of dual carriageway, doesn't equip me for mainland driving, so looking for advice on a really good sat nav.
