Subaru Legacy ( 2005) 2.5 Automatic - Reversing Light Relay - Which one and where to buy 2 Apr 2012 (Forum)
Hi everyone Reversing lights on my Legacy werent working so as the car was stil under warranty (I bought it 2ndhand from a main-dealer 8months ago) and took it down to my local Subaru dealer. They think that the reversing light relay is not working. However seems the warranty doesn't cover diagnostic work, so they charged me £75 for the diagnostics, and then wanted £66+VAT to order the relay (also not likely to be covered by the warranty they claim). -

Citroen / Peugeot - DPF Issues 3 Jan 2014 (Forum)
This appears to be exactly what the advice is not to do but I have had no issues at all. In fact I have only just been made aware that diesel cars have been fitted with DPF's. The reason I've gone for diesels when I only cover 7K mile per annum is because I need a decent sized car for the family and the diesel with lower emmisions keeps the income tax I pay on my company cars manageable. -

BMW 325Ci E46 - Used car with faults - what are my legal rights? 17 Jul 2011 (Forum)
Hi there, I've just bought a used BMW from a used car dealer. It was sold with a 3 month warranty, and a 160 point 'check' which seems to cover very little, except major failures. I've found 2 faults: 1. The tracking is out on the front, so the drivers side tyre is bald on the inner shoulder, almost down to the steel, its needs replacing, as it could blow if left to wear down more.
