• Qashqai 2nd gen auto - Is self charging Hybrid better for me? 19 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  Want to replace my 15 plate Qashqai either with a Self charging Hybrid or 3rd gen normal Qashqai Automatic. Used of course. Now with the hybrids, I’ve read that many have flat batteries if you don’t drive often, which I hadn’t known! I often leave my car on my driveway for 2/3 days without driving and my current car doesn’t have flat batteries.
• Skoda Octavia - 14-17k used car suggestions 3 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  Usage 6k annually expected mainly on weekends to local shops or weekend getaways. Prefer max 4yrs age with 30k odd mileage, automatic, not hybrid as stay in a flat. May want to resell it in 3-4yrs to upgrade. So ideally looking at a car with good resale value. Have narrowed on Skoda Octavia 2020/2021 models, or maybe a Superb 2020.

Honda gave us a quote of £1500 to change the bearing and now say they can't do the job.

• Ford Fiesta Mk 5 (2003 1388 cc LX (UK)) - Power Assisted Steering Fluid Dump 27 Jul 2022 (Forum)

Due to the time difference between the introduction of the Wynn Stop & Prevent Fluid (WSP) into the mix, and therefore the ATF been at the bottom of the system, will it possibly resolve itself - more optimistically- might it resolve itself ???
