• Vauxhall Corsa - Changing car 7 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  Had a look at various car supermarkets and the choice has been reduced to a 1.2 SXi which are plentiful but without air con and a couple of 1.4's with aircon. Both choices are very low mileage. My wife averages about 200 miles per week mostly on a fast dual carriageway. My last experience of Vauxhall was a Viva HB so any upto date opinions re Corsa would be more than welcome.

• VW Golf Mk7 1.4 GT DSG - Engine Rattle 29 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  My Golf''s engine emits a light rattle when the engine is accelerating or under load. It stops immediately the foot is lifted off the accelerator. The noise is quite quiet, especially from the driver's side but this is probably because the passenger can pick it up being bounced back off roadside walls etc.
• vauxhall vectra c - 3 button flip key fob loses programming 29 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Although its easy to reprogram, it is annoying, especially late at night. The battery is good (it unlocks from distance). The s****** is happy to relieve me of £130 to make a duplicate. Its my only key and i'm sure there is a better, cheaper way round it! Should i take the fob apart and inspect? cheers all!

• MG ZT-T td 130 - Cooling system 21 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  I have a 2005 MG ZT-T td 130 from new with 69,000 miles and until the last 3,000 or so the temperature guage has always read on the middle bar on the guage for all types of driving - Howver, once warm it tends to remain on the middle bar for normal driving but at motorway cruiing speed it dips to 1 bar below and remains consistant, moving back to the middle bar and never higher when back to slow speeds. Fuel consumption remains mid to high 40's and coolant level is correct with no leaks. This would appear to be logical but why the fluctuation after this time and should I be concerned ?!
• Volvo S40 Second generation (2004–2012) - Possible used buy (from auction) 23 Mar 2014 (Forum)
  My father (in his 70's but still good driver) is thinking about getting rid of his S40 Mk1 which is now tired with 150k miles. He has about £6k to spend. There is a big auction place near him in Peterborough. He likes the looks of the S40 Mkll but having read the review here it looks to have a ton of faults/recalls etc.

• Vauxhall Corsa C - stopped reversing but car still hit me 5 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  I was reversing out of a side street and my back passenger informed me a car was coming down the road as they saw the headlights,  I stopped reversing an inch past the parked car so my break light s were on. The car coming down the street hit my bumper and scraped all the side of their car. I just have a scraped bumper and fog lense out. I was stationary and it was dark so headlights and breaklights could be seen.
• Renault Avantime (2002 - 2003) - Am I Mad? 11 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  I currently drive a Honda Prelude VTEC that I?m very happy with but have just seen a Renault Avantime for sale in a local dealer. It?s the 2.0Litre turbo in the metallic blue / silver two tone paintwork, its only got 60,000 on the clock and all logic says it would be an absolutely stupid buy even if I could get it for £4000 ish as tax is likely in the £400 bracket, economy poor, handling mediocre and reliability worse?..
