• Advice on Merc SL purchase 7 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  I am considering buying a late 1970's early 80's Merc 300sl and would like to ask the forum what I should be looking for (good points and bad) and obtain the generally held views of the vehicle. This will be a weekend car used sparingly but would still like to buy the best possible on a budget of no more than 10K.

• Settle an argument for me?! 29 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Had a 'discussion' at the weekend with an elderly relative regarding when her childhood village (Bramcote nr Nottingham) was split in two by the A52 bypass. I am sure this was in the late 60's she thought it was the 70's. As she is 'always right' I am relying on you good people to tell me when her back garden was tarmac'd? Thanks

• headlamp dazzle 16 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  O.K. John, please let`s have an honest answer- similar Q`s to this have been put before to others but with no straight reply. If it is against the law to dazzle people, why are some manufacturers getting away with it? I can`t put it more plainly than that-you know the score (or do you wear your shades whilst driving?

• Insurance for young driver. Chipped MINI 9 Jan 2004 (Forum)

• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - petrol or diesel? 25 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  We have had diesels for a while, but with all the DPF, DMF etc debate I'm not sure it's worth it. In the S-Max, the 2.0 diesel would suffice but I would really like the 2.2 for a bit more shove especially towing. However, while there are plenty of 2.0's on the used market, there are very few 2.2s and they are very highly priced.
• E39 525d v 530d...any thoughts? 17 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Any thoughts before we go testing would be gratefully received. BTW we are *not* going to get a Mondeo - unless it´s the 2.2 titanium thingy, and they´re in short supply.

• A5 Sportback opinions please (and new shape A6) 28 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  I'll no doubt go for a 520d SE but the A5 looks much nicer and the A6 S-Line is better equipped so I'd like to keep my options open at ths stage. Thanks PS - I have a 5 day test drive booked with an A6 S-Line booked from the end of this week so that should prove interesting.
• Subaru Tribeca or Ford S-Max 2.5T? 30 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Not quite the same bargain as a Tribeca but not too far short. I suspect the S-Max will be the better drive of the two and 4WD is not vital. Which one would you go for and why?
