• Rover 25 - My story... (need help) 27 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  I am awaiting some details from a solicitor that I used to see if they know what may have happened to my car after the claim was settled. The main thing that is bugging me is the fact that I still owe £3800+ on this car and the GAP insurance that I had taken out didn't cover the cost difference with the finance.
• Audi A3 + S3 (2008 - ) - crash damage not repaired properly 15 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Even the satnav screen and the clocks were covered in scratches. Where the car had been machine polished, the polish has not been broken down fully and the car is now covered in holograms. I didn't sign anything to say I was happy with the repair, but I wasn't asked to either.

• Ford Explorer - Stepping into the world of EVs 6 Aug 2025 (Forum)
  Bought a 6 month old Ford Explorer Premium Extended Range RWD last week, to replace my 5 year old Puma. The Puma was a great car, bought at 3 years old. The only downside to it was that I struggled to get comfortable in the seat on long journeys, the seat base is very flat… As I cover about 25k a year, it gave me a reason to look for another car, I generally only keep cars a couple of years and had the Puma seat been better, I could have seen myself keeping it a bit longer than usual.

• Auto gearbox - any reliable unconventional ones? 21 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  Hi, My wife has an automatic-only licence and does about 24,000 miles a year. Until now we've had Petrol 1.6L cars like the Astra, Focus etc. We buy used (2-3 years old) when the car's done about 20,000 miles & px it at 100,000. Our usual budget is around the £7-£8k mark. All our cars have had conventional 'torque converter' auto boxes and have been fine but they're a dying breed as car companies try & switch to more efficient unconventional designs like computer controlled manuals (Toyota MMT), DSGs (VW DSG & Ford Powershift) & CVTs.
• Ford Fiesta MKVI 1.4 Style (2005) - Ford Fiesta clutch/gearbox issues 12 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  What is happening here? I'm told it is almost certainly the clutch, but I want to be 110% sure. Because the car was bought from a finance company, I'm hoping it'll be something that is covered under warranty. Either way, I don't feel confident driving it as I fear I could make the problem worse. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
• Cheap Newish Cars on Autotrader 11 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  You will send the funds to Yahoo Finance and they will keep the money until you receive the vehicle and test it.In this way both buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction. They will hold and insure your money until receipt of the car in good condition. That is how their service is working. As far as the seller concerns, i will be glad to know that Yahoo Finance is in possession of the funds during the delivery period.
• Almera 1.8 Auto 9 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  To get it to Castle Donington would mean me paying a deposit of £200 which, apparently, is refundable, if I don't like the car. To which I would ask, why ask for the £200 then? I don't want to get into an argument about why I don't want the car, so I am not risking losing £200. We went to see one a 3 door S model, at a local specialist in ex motability cars, but it was really too much money for the age of the car, even though it had only covered about 13K miles.
• Peugeot 306 noise 24 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I was wondering if anyone could help to identify a noise that appears to come from the front of the car. The noise occurs when turning at slow speed with about 3/4 lock or more applied while accelerating (eg car parks, mini roundabouts, etc. The noise is a continuous, whining/grumbling noise (ie not a clicking CV joint type noise).
