  • Any experience buying from Carsite 18 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    I saw a car being advertised on this site at which seemed a pretty good price. They seem to be selling old lease cars, but I don't seem to be able to find any information from people who've actually bought from them.

  • Yaris Aircon - regassing warranty cover 13 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    Recently bought a Toyota Yaris for wife, car will be 3 years old in October. The aircon seems to take 3 or 4 minutes before delivering cool air and is not as cold as in my car, so I suspect it needs a re-gas. Would this be covered as a warranty fix or is it 'wear and tear' like brake pads?

  • Buying a Vel Satis 31 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    We're talking 3.5 V6 Initiale for about 20 000 Euro in Germany, 2-years old. HJ's Car-by-Car Breakdown says it's: "A very different driving experience from almost anything else. Curiously un-carlike to drive, but not unpleasant." Hmmm... I'm scheduled for a test drive on Saturday.

  • Is my car an ex-taxi???? 1 Oct 2019 (Forum)
    Bought a 2 year old Mondeo tdci from a garage in April, and from marks that I've discovered on the interior tim and bumper panels I'm strongly suspicious that it may be an ex-taxi (and subsequently a clocked one!). Does anyone know of any vehicle checks (hpi etc) that would confirm if a car has been previously registered as having a private hire license??????

    My car is fairly old. I clean the glass in and out.
