• Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 29-07-2017 Part 1 19 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  Im sorry but I find many of the questions asked on these pages banal; I mean someone paid £300 for a 16 year old car with 225,000 miles on the clock and thinks he's entitled to money back if the garage px value was less than this? Seriously?

• Hyundai i40 - High mileage Hyundai 26 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  I've spotted a 2011 i40 with 82,000 miles. What are peoples thoughts on such a car given Hyundai's 5 year unlimited miles warranty? Currently it's averaged 28000 miles a year, we only do 6000, so at 6 years old that average would be down to 16000 a year. And the poor thing deserves a rest LOL.

  I've a set of old, unused, Ferodo disc pads for a late Estelle. Any idea where I can find a cross reference list to see what other cars they'll fit. They're no use to me but someone might find them useful. I thought I'd put them on freecycle.
• Current scrap values? 24 May 2013 (Forum)
  Just wondering if Backroomers have any ideas on the current scrap value of cars, what with the price of metals going up. Could we expect to get anything for the old Fiesta that we intend scrapping at the end of the month - or should we just be grateful that someone will get rid of it for us?
