  Used Van Buying Guide: Transit Connect 2014 - 2019 21 Nov 2019 (News)
  Servicing should be every year or 10,000 miles and inexpensive 6000 mile six month interim services and inspections for drivers using their vehicles for short-drop urban driving are worthwhile. Pricing varies across the country, but most garages offer fixed price servicing. As an example an interim service should cost in the region of £120, a full service costing around £200-£250. A replacement battery fitted will be around £100, with an MoT around £40-£50.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 6-6-2015 6 Jun 2015 (News)
    Six appeal I still have my 2001/51 reg Vauxhall Vectra V6 2.6 SRI, and my single concern is that the aircon had failed and needs a replacement compressor and condenser (around £1,000 including labour, etc.).  I Have found a good mechanic: Beckley Garage, Bookham, Which is always a bonus. (David fixed a handling issue I had been plagued with for over 2 years and which many other mechanics said didn't even exist.) Reasonable garage bills too.

  Honest John’s Motoring Agony Column 18-4-2015 18 Apr 2015 (News)
  - direct replacement for Z4 and I love the aesthetics of the dashboard pleasing; retro in some way. Golf GTI - good all rounder, very practical, quick and good level of toys. Also like chequered seats but would want auto (is DSG a problem) and can you get it in 4-Motion? Audi TT - TFSI version and can get this is Quattro - dash is good but I worry about potential problems of DSG auto if fitted?

  Classic Auctions in Surrey on 2nd and 15th June 1 Jun 2010 (News)
  The straight-4 engine was bored out to 100mm to produce 4.4 litre of displacement.  This was good for 110hp in road-going models or 130hp when tweaked for racing.  Another claimed victory at the 24 Hours du  Mans in 1928 with drivers Woolf Barnato and Bernard Rubin at the wheel.  Meanwhile there was considerable debate within the Bentley boardroom and among the Bentley Boys about the next racing model.
