  What is the best dash cam to buy? 28 Jun 2023 (Ask HJ)
  What is the best dash cam for my car?
• Help me choose from these used MPV cars please :-) 1 Mar 2023 (Forum)
    It'll have to be an old model from 2005-ish looking at Auto Trader prices on my budget (£4,500, and prices are more ridiculous in the South West)   Bearing in mind the early models I'll have to go for, which would you choose from these please?   Ford S-Max Ford Galaxy Citroen C4 Grand Picasso  VW Sharan Seat Alhambra (I can't locate any though) Kia Sportage   Or early: Berlingo Multispace  Peugeot Partner Tepee Renault Kangoo   Please shout up if you think of other cars that will suit, in my price range.
• Used Cars - Towbars 27 Nov 2022 (Forum)
  I'm impressed to see that it has already moved a from a Seat/Skoda main dealer in Newport (s. Wales) to an independent trader in London. They have done some nice preparation on it (refurbed the wheels and tidied up some heavily blemished paintwork). Two things that struck me - firstly, someone will get a good deal there; it's got full main dealer service history exactly on time etc.

• Our next car… please help? 18 Apr 2022 (Forum)
  We like the look of estates, MPV’s or SUV’s. We’re thinking about a Skoda superb estate, another Galaxy or S-max. The VW Toureg is great but too expensive and I’m unsure if the mondeo estate could pull the trailer.  As we intend to keep the next car for the long haul the newer and less mileage the better.
• Used Car Selection - Input Welcome 15 Nov 2021 (Forum)
  After running an old Ford for two decades have finally agreed with the family to purchase a much newer vehicle. Going from a late 90's Ford to a fairly modern car will be a welcome change. Currently looking at approved used Lexus GS\IS models that are within the current budget which is ideally no more than £26k. The later ES seems to be outside this budget.
• Volvo V60 - avice on changing cars 3 Aug 2021 (Forum)
  ideally he wants it under 60,000 miles and a bit newer than his 2013 car. He also likes the Skoda Superb and the Skoda Octavia nd also the Mazda 6's. Our budget is under £13,00 but we could push a but more if needed. We just wondered what you all suggested out of these cars? in terms of reliability and comfort,safety etc my husband would either grade his V40 in or sell it privately.
• All - Highway code changes 30 Jul 2021 (Forum)
  The highway code changes are all well and good but what about drivers who - a) no clue whatsoever how to navigate a roundabout b) no understanding of who has right of way at a junction c) i**** drivers that think they are doing good by giving way at inappropriate times - which can be super dangerous as it breaks the rules variably d) drivers don't know how to turn right against oncoming traffic turning left e) drivers flashing others to proceed when it creates a dangerous manoeuvre for the other driver/s f) drivers copying other drivers instead of *knowing* what to do My point is that the level of practical application of the current highway code has eroded and there is a much bigger problem to solve.

• Vw Tiguan 2018 plate - Info system , battery drain! 2 May 2021 (Forum)
  I have seen reports of problems with VW Golf info systems but no battery drain! Any one heard of similar problems??? Vag have denied there is a problem, I don’t think it is a s/w problem sounds more like a module fault
• BMW 5 Series Touring - BMW 5....Merc E....Kia Sorento....Peugeot 5008 12 Feb 2021 (Forum)
    BMW 520 Touring (possibly Xdrive) Mercedes E220 AMG Estate,   Peugeot 5008 Kia Sorento GT Line S  Anyone have any thoughts, or possible alternatives! Reliability, comfort, good resale values are some important qualities to me as opposed to badge appeal, hence my current diverse list!
• Kia Sportage 1.6GDI manual - Fuel consumption. 24 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Have not been able to replicate it, but searched online  and found one single post 4 years ago on a Kia forum. seems my size 12's might have been pressing throttle AND brake pedals at the same time. OOPS! I did have some proper hefty broad walking shoes on. Another handy thing I found this week is that the rear seats have 3 levels for reclining..
• Audi A4 - Multi-tronics gear box issues 9 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  has any experienced problems with their gear box. I have a  2018 plate 1.4 TFSI black edition s tronic and have been advised by my dealer that because I did not change the gear oil at the correct time/miles has caused a fault meaning a new main control gear box unit ECU is required (not covered under warranty due to me not changing the oil at the correct time doh  and at a 2k cost).
• Peugeot 508SW - Approved Used? 4 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  Housing for ultrasonic alarm sensor offside A pillar missing, so sensor waving around (in line of sight) on 8 cm of wire 4) Outside temperature sensor U/S showing a temperature of 36 degrees Centigrade (in March!) Not a particular problem, apart from the fact that the climate control system responds to that, so, unless temperature set to "Hi" system blowing cold air, air con not functioning, car misting up.
• BMW repair history check by VIN number 30 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  I want to check the repair history for my BMW. The main dealers can do this, by performing a lookup against my car?s VIN and running a detailed ?Vehicle History Report?, but won?t do it in the depth I require unless they receive written authorisation from the previous owner. Which probably won?t be forthcoming. The type of information I want to find out includes the service codes, showing the issues the car had when it came in for each service.

• Any - Parking Eye Payment by Credit Card 12 May 2018 (Forum)
     The concept of covering number plates for the entry and exit process was an attractive afterthought, but probably illegal - even though I was on a private road at Southampton docks, not the prublic highway. I have a the needle for these parking firms, especially after Mrs S was awarded a charge for parking at a local retail park ... whilst she shopped then ate in a restuarant in an adjacent but differently managed retail park.    
• Car for 3 adults and two small children 15 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  A new Touran fits the bill but the older ones lack the isofix points and are mainly diesel. Equally I don't want anything as big as an S-Max. I wonder if a CR-V could fit both seats, with one in the middle, and an adult next to them? Am I going to have to go to a dealer and fit both car seats to see if it is practical?
