  purchased 2year old citigo on february one year left on the warranty, after a few weeks i have had alot of problems trying to engage reverse gear first to second this can be awkward in some situations, the dealership says it is a feature as opposed to a designe fault, i was not made aware in any literature on the car, of this feature, has anybody out ther found similar problems i am very diappointed it was not pointed  out before i bought the car, the dealership checked the car out and said that nothing was wrong, iwas told to double clutch, or force the car into gear, any opinions on this. jockboy 17 03 16

• Car Hire - Malaga 9 Nov 2015 (Forum)
  Friend took swmbo for a short break and as he wanted to drive her up the old road which curls around under itself, (i'm sure you know where it  is) booked a hire car. Got to the desk late, and no trace of booking, and no one answering on the uk number. Was offered a car at an extortionate rate, but declined and got the train into malaga.

• Any - Long Term Investment 9 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Is there a modern day equivalent of the W124 or at least a car with the same reputation. I am looking to purchase an estate car that would not necessarily do high mileage - 8K to 10K a year so petrol would be the order of the day. I am an old f*** so an automatic would be useful and I will look after the car.
• Kia Ceed Sportswagon - After sales problem 8 Mar 2014 (Forum)
  I bought a used Kia Cee'd 2012 Sportswagon 21 month old from a Kia main dealer 3 weeks ago. On a test drive, I was told by the salesman, that the parking sensors did not work beacause the trade plates covered them. When  I was using the car,  I noticed that the parking sensors were only working intermitently.

  We know that buying the best example that is in our price range can help to mitigate against future financial ruin and I do not want to restore another car. Any advice for a pair of old codgers?

  Hi there. I have a old r reg ford fiesta. When I start the car the heater will blow cold and I can drive for hundreds of miles with it blowing cold, but if I turn off the car and start again if engines hot it will blow out hot through the heater and won't change temperature by turning the temp dial....
• Ford Fiesta - 60 plate Fiesta - warranty problem 30 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  As such they are refusing my claim on the warranty. I know hardly anything about cars and have not got a clue what to do next. Surely a car that is only 18 months old should be covered by the warranty on this?
• SEAT Altea XL - Three child Seats. Which Car. 10 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  I would like to buy a second hand Diesel car with low emissions. Maybe two or three years old. It's got to be reliable I don't want to be pumping money into it in two or three years time. Any recommendations would be most welcome.
• Peugeot 1.8 - Peugeot 7 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  On behalf of a friend, so I don't know full details of the model, but her Peugeot is only a few years old and her car runs out of petrol very quickly. For example, she tops up her car to Half a Tank of petrol, but it runs down to the next level of the metre after just 3 miles.  This results in her having to buy petrol much more often, which is expensive and is consuming more petrol than her car is meant to consume.
• Family car - Ford Focus estate or C-Max? 7 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  Hi there, My other half and I are due to be having a baby in October and so we're looking at getting a "family car". I'm currently in the process of trying to sell my 07 Honda Civic 1.4 Auto (damn i-shift gearbox, why couldn't Honda have used the same CVT from the Jazz?!) which should leave me with enough money for a 2/3 year old car.
• planning on selling private 19 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Hi guys, in the next few weeks I hope to take delivery of my new car, and since the dealers were not interested in my p/x I am going to have to sell it private. So, just a few questions, can I get insurance on my new car as well as my old car whilst I sell it? I have e-mailed my insurance but they have not yet replied.
• Mazda Mazda 6 (2008 -) - Three cheers for Saga 5 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  I wonder if the fact that the car that crashed into mine was overtaking a police car at the time had any bearing on their generousity.
• Model Cars 4 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  These are so perfect that it would be an insult to call them dolls? houses. Anyway onto the motoring link. They would sometimes like to put a model car in the garage/on the drive. The standard scale for this hobby is 1/12 (1? to 1? in old money). Whilst there is a large choice in the various model railway scales and the popular 1/43 and 1/18 scales they have been able to find very little in 1/12 ?
• Hyundai i10 (2008 - ) - Hyundai i110 vs Kia Picanto 30 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Are these ostensibly the same car and if so which is the better car? I am thinking about getting another small run around and want it to be economical, cheap to run and tax efficient. I also want it to have a certain amount of poke that small cars used to have ie feel quick even if they weren't i.e like small FIats of old.

• Khan cleared of dangerous driving 8 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Perhaps I do not understand what a high performance car is. The BMW site states:- base model 530i 6.2 secs and the 650i 5.2 secs for 0-62. Perhaps he had an old base model ?
