  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 11-4-2015 11 Apr 2015 (News)
  At my age now, a smaller car would be fine since I now drive only locally with a long drive to Kent perhaps once a year. I can afford up to £10,000 and need a reliable and inexpensive to run automatic. Is the Legend worth anything as scrap? VM, Derby The Legend is probably worth £200 as scrap; maybe more as a spares donor car. It may even be worth preserving for someone prepared to make the belt change himself.

  Used Pick-Up Buying Guide: Mitsubishi L200 Series 4 (2006-2015) 27 Nov 2019 (News)
  Throughout the L200’s near 10 year production run it would see some changes to its specification. In 2010, the L200 gained the option of a five-speed automatic, while power was increased to 175PS. There was also a very slight restyle inside and out, with the exterior getting new fog lamp housings and a redesigned grille. Advertised fuel economy for the 2.5-litre diesels officially span from 34 – 37mpg.

  Frazer Nash sells for £236,000 at Brightwells auction 14 May 2015 (News)
  Also noteworthy was the £13,200 raised by an exceptionally smart 1987 XJS-C 3.6 Cabriolet with just 52,000 miles on the clock and forecast to fetch nearer £9,000. A trio of Daimler 2.5 V8s also found new homes. A tidy 1965 automatic with a recent repaint fetching a market correct £14,100 while an average 1969 example raised £9100 and a smart and very rare 1968 manual overdrive looked a snip at  £11,500, perhaps  held back by its brown paint with pale blue leather colour scheme.

  Why 2019 could be the best time to buy a diesel 1 Feb 2019 (News)
  All modern diesels are fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), which is designed to reduce harmful emissions but can become clogged over time. Driving at high speeds for prolonged periods will cause DPFs to automatically regenerate, burning off the accumulated soot in the filter and preventing any issues caused by a blocked DPF. If most of your driving is around town, the DPF won't be able to regenerate and could become blocked.
