• Immaculate, with excellent MOT history, no SH 27 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  I've seen a 15 year old car for sale, immaculate, 2 owners, excellent MOT history, with no significant advisories ever and any have been sorted by the next MOT, but there's no service history or receipts. Does the condition and excellent MOT record negate the lack of service history?
• Seat Leon - Evap 19 Feb 2023 (Forum)

• VW Polo - Coolant 15 Nov 2021 (Forum)
  HI,  The coolant for my Polo should be G13 but this seems hard to find, most of it is G12+.  The G13 I have seen is either green or yellow and mine is pink.  The car was 2 years old when I bought it and I'm sure it's the original still in. Does anyone know if G12 would be ok to use?  Any advice welcome.  Thanks.        
• Honda FRV CRDI - Your views please 25 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  Would like to own one of these unique cars. But they are getting old now and main dealers won’t have any to sell. What are the drawbacks if any and with my low mileage should I be considering a petrol . But I do like the low end torque the diesel profile usually provides.
