• Unknown - Ask HJ question ? 13 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  After a few says I phoned back to ask how to clean the inside of the car and was told 'leave the engine running!' I have just returned from a holiday and loading/unloading the car has been extremely frustrating as the low battery warning keeps going off as I didn’t leave the engine running (security risk and fuel cost).

• Citroen C4 Grand Picasso - Picasso Grand C4 vs Touran vs Smax 27 May 2021 (Forum)
  smax - biggest but best to drive apparently / again reliability / higher running costs   if buying new might go touran but all have good/bad points. with all, 90% sold as diesels, but we do mostly town driving which seems to be an issue when you read around. other thing is manual vs auto, the budget scares me off auto boxes a bit

• What to choose for long motorway trips? 16 Mar 2021 (Forum)
    The second car was a 2001 Peugeot 206 2.0 diesel HDi which I owned from new, and covered 100,000 miles before it succumbed to the ‘corrosion virus’ so we had to scrap it last year.    I tend to keep my cars running for many years, the best ever was a diesel 2.0 Vectra which I ran to 212k miles then gave it to a family member.    So, what would you recommend?  I’m thinking of spending £8000 - £10000 on a used car, and it needs to be reliable, reasonable running and servicing costs and sufficiently powered and comfortable for motorway driving.

• mondeo tdci 2.0 06 plate - Starter motor problem 27 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  The car has 120,000 miles on it and has had quite a few jobs done on it over the years but is very reliable, runs nice and always starts first turn.
