  I'd like to recommend Marshalls Jaguar in Peterborough. They've helped me care for my XK8 since the dealership I bought it from closed down. Service and...

  GT highs 17 Apr 2010 (Ask HJ)
  In the 1980's, having spent 3 years working in Saudi Arabia, I treated myself to a Golf GTI Mk II and held on to it for 12 years. A super car. Now, somewhat...

  Spare part surgery 9 Jan 2010 (Ask HJ)
  Recently there have been press articles about the Organ Donation Register and the DVLA. Some months ago I had to apply for a new driving licence. This...

• Suzuki Alto (2009 - ) - Spot-on marketing from Suzuki 24 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I'm sure the previous Charade would have sold in much greater numbers had it been decently marketed. Perhaps given the current economic climate Daihatsu are pulling the plug on importing it... small car, small profits after all. Rob.
• FAQs 16 May 2003 (Forum)
  Perhaps that helps to explain why many people simply bypass your excellent and ever-expanding FAQ site - I'm just worried you'll come on here after a bad day and blow a fuse when someone has asked "Where can I buy cars in the UK at close to mainland European prices? Also tell me import warranties and import finance."!!! All t'best Dan J
• Moderators' email account 29 Sep 2025 (Forum)
  The moderators' email account will be monitored until the lock happens but after that, should you need to contact the company over something  important , then your only option is the general site contacts. This is at the bottom of the site page but for ease I've put the link in the Sticky thread in each forum. I know this has been said before in one of the other threads but it's worth repeating - many thanks to all those who have contributed their advice to help others.
• Driving Test 23 Jun 2025 (Forum)
  Before we go further in this article, we need to clear the air on if you can appeal and it’s just not a wasted effort.    Yes, you can appeal your driving test result, but it’s important to know that an appeal will not overturn the result or grant you a pass .   Instead, an appeal challenges the way the test was conducted. If successful, you may be entitled to a free retest.
• Any - Which car? 31 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  We are a one car household so do fairly high mileage, both some city miles and also regular longer journeys. Would want to keep the car for several years, reliability, good warranty and decent mpg important - currently getting 60mpg from our diesel Peugeot. Appreciate electric different and would consider an EV but not sure where to start. Not entitled to any workplace scheme for those. We need decent space due to dog/holidays/hobbies etc.
• Citroen Ami 4 Nov 2021 (Forum)
  I notice that Citroen are now taking orders/reservations for the Ami. You pay a £250 refundable fee and presumably get first pick when imports start into the UK- which they say will be spring 2022.  I'm almost tempted to throw in £250, especially with the very low cost. It would suit my needs for driving around Birmingham, even if there are a few 40 limit roads on my way to work!
• All - navigation destinations 28 Apr 2021 (Forum)
  Surely it would be simple enough to have an industry wide format so that all GPS systems can export / import the 'Name', 'Lat', 'Long', 'Post Code' details irrespective of the old / new model of car.  That way it would not matter how an individual system actually uses the location data - they would just convert them to a usable internal format.
• Any - Utility companies 18 Aug 2020 (Forum)
  Just received a business utility bill for a company that was (and may still be) owned by the previous occupant of our home. Bear in mind we moved to this address in early 2007. The letter said it was important, so I though it best to do my bit. The non-geographic telephone number on the envelope did not work (number not in use or some such guff), so I Googled the utility company in question and was given the same number plus a "normal" landline number for 'accounts queries', which I dialled.
• Nissan Qashqai - How to wash my car? 13 Aug 2020 (Forum)
  I saw a video or 2. Videos are too long and don't give any product recommendations. IMPORTANT : my Nissan Qashqai has a glass roof! And I can't reach the centre standing on the outside of the car! Do I need a telescope sponge or something? Wheels and alloys, do I need anything special for these?
• OBDII Bluetooth Scan Tools 25 Nov 2019 (Forum)
  If it’s reading too high i will probably buy a lower thermostat from an earlier iteration of the v8, but seeing as it is a Jap import it may already have the lower temp thermostat fitted from factory.. Has anyone got a recommendation please?
• Buying a second hand car with tow bar fitted 22 Nov 2018 (Forum)
    My concern would be that towing does put some extra stress on the engine/clutch and good maintenance and sensible driving are important. Would people be happy if the service history was all up to date and there was no signs of any damage round the back end?  Buying second hand always carries the risk of how good the previous driver(s) was (unless you are buying from the local vicar).
• Any - Couriers 24 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  As most of us will know, a certain courier company has been in the headlines this week for non delivey of chicken. The same company delivers to me as I import stuff from Germany and they use the same courier. They sent me some kit earlier this week, but some of the parts were wrong, so they arranged for the courier to collect them yesterday (Thursday), Guess what, nobody called to collect it, BUT the same courier delivered some more stuff, but this driver would NOT take the collection, (I thought these business were supposed be "green").

  What checks should I do to ensure a safe car purchase? 8 Nov 2017 (Ask HJ)
  How do I know if a car I want to buy has been written off or stolen?
• Toyota - Technology too smart for itself 6 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  This guy bought a Japanese import hybrid and only got one key which he lost.  Toyota couldn't get him another key and he ended up having to pay big money to get the car computer hacked to reprogram another key. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/hacker-helps-family-recover-minivan-after-losing-one-of-a-kind-car-key/ I am told that this isn't the only make where you get one key and have to have the computer reprogrammed if you lose it.
• 1972 MGB GT 1.8 - Buying a 1972 MGB GT 22 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  So I'm in a quandary and would seek the advice of somebody with more knowledge than me, as I do not want to diidle my friend, because friendship is much more important than money. The car is in pristine conditionwith no rust, but has not been used for about 5 years.
