Car decisions - can't get past the warranty 8 Feb 2012 (Forum)
Now what am struggling to get past at the moment is the Kia Ceed and the warranty. I can get a (diesel) Ceed for £10k easy, probably a year old with hardly 5 figures on the mileometer... but the cheery on the cake is it will still have 6 years warranty to cover it.... We also love the Insignia, Astra, 1-series and a few others but similar spec cars to the ceed would be at least 3 years old and out of warranty... if I understand correctly, the Vauxhall warranty is not transferrable at all so unless buying from (overpriced) Network Q then we only get the sale of goods act to rely on... -

Mazda MPV (2000 - 2007) - 53 plate Mazda MPV - keep or replace? 26 Sep 2009 (Forum)

Front coil springs snapped - Fast fit centre? 1 Jul 2009 (Forum)
I have checked the front shock absorbers and they are not leaking so if oil appears tomorrow I shall go mad. The front pads are also 200 miles old so if they comment on that I shall go mad, my discs are old but perfectly smooth, not warped and still got some thickness in them (they will probably need replacing within the next two years). My main concern is they do something to make my car worse (e.g make a mistake like fitting the coils upside down) and then there will be no notice to get the car right before Friday when I need it for the holiday. -

Don't judge a..... 27 Jul 2003 (Forum)
Further to recent conversations, just explaining my way of thinking really, and something that set it off. On discussing whether old or young drivers are the worst, my train of thought was how awful it is to generalise, and to put people in little boxes Young - all boy racers with no manners (not true) Elderly - all doddering (with no manners or thought for anyone else either) - not true You never know, one of those old geezers could be a former racing driver (even I know it's not all formula 1)etc. etc
