• Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 02-09-2017 Part 1 7 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Im amazed someone can buy a brand new car but not 'see' the windscreen built in heating element and seats that do not meet their needs. Do these people make do with a 10 minute test drive? Before buying any new car Ive always insisted on upto half a day's test drive and if the dealer doesnt agree, I go elsewhere.

• NA - Insurance Price Hike! 12 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  Last year I was driving a 20 y.o. Vectra 2.5 V6. This year I am driving a 12 y.o X-type with a 2.1 V6. The Vectra was the faster car. However my reneal came through today and the premium is 120% higher. It seems an incredible increase for a car that is worth maybe 2 - 2.5 times more.

• MINI Convertible 2010 - clutch/flywheel 4 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  I contacted you before but failed to make clear that the car is less than 3 years old and owned from new. I would be grateful to know what sort of driving style could lead to catastriphic clutch failure after only 11300 miles. The pattern of driving is no different from previous cars with similar annual low mileage. I always thought that low mileage was a selling point for used cars Minimugged

  Father in Law's car done 2303 miles - clutch burnt out - 3 piece clutch kit replaced but that burnt out after driving 9 miles.  Appreciate he can ride the clutch sometimes in traffic - but is it likely to be burnt out by his driving after only 9 miles?   Would appreciate any comments.  Have a good Christmas.
