• News - Britain's Most Used Car 30 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Interesting article on the right under news regarding average model mileage breakdown by WarrantyDirect. The example in the article is a four year old Micra with 30k on the clock. You may be tempted to pay a bit extra as, using the 12k per annum average, it does appear lower than average mileage. However, for the specific car it is an average mileage so you could end up paying more for an average mileage for model car.

• 1.4 TSI DSG - Skoda Octavia advice 27 Apr 2021 (Forum)
  We want something reliable after a couple of years of garage bills with my 17yr old MINI. We enjoy fairly regular camping/day hiking trips in the Lake District [100 mile round trip] and will want to continue with this, so need a fairly well sized car with a good boot.  In light of this we've been looking at Skoda Octavias, and have drifted slightly above budget to the likes of this; https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202103250579510?

• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 06 1.6 Major leak into passenger & rear footwell 12 May 2016 (Forum)

• Ford Focus - Wondering about new car 23 Apr 2016 (Forum)

• Ford Fiesta Finesse 1.3 - Wiper stalk/ column doesn't work 22 May 2015 (Forum)
  I thought the indicator/ wiper sets would be interchangeable, and before scrapping the old car I would change them over. So that's what I did today. I thought it had gone fine until I realised that none of the buttons on the wiper stalk worked, on either car... The indicators, lights, horn, hazard lights work on both cars, but nothing on the wiper stalks.
