  I bought a 2012 62 Volkswagen Passat 1.6 TDI S Bluemotion from Car Giant back in September 2015. Seemed a very good deal at the time and i even went a 1 year warranty with the AA through Car Giant for what they assured me was able to cover everything (a few lies put in there).

• Ford Focus Mk1.5 - Leak dilema 18 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  I have an 03 plate Focus which has a pretty severe [rain] water ingress problem. Water is entering far up in the n/s/f passenger footwell (under the dashboard). When I say entering, I really mean it, as the carpets and under felt are soaked along the nearside. I replaced the pollen filter scuttle panel and seal, and sealed it up with sealant (I should add that we have another Focus which I have sealed in this way which is dry as a bone inside).

• Use of fogs - question replied to by Honest John 16 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  When it's raining, approaching a car with its front fog lights on can dazzle you, but the effect is far worse coming up behind a car with its rear fog(s) on, even when it's dry - at worst, you can be nearly blinded, especially if your windscreen hasn't been cleaned for a while, and/or you have a heated windscreen with its fine wire element showing (until recently basically Fords, soon to be more widespread I believe).

• Car for commuting 13 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  The mpg is best on the country roads and the computer rarely dips below 50 and often shows a lot more but as soon as I hit traffic then it drops into the 40's and in stop-start it's terrible. I'm getting just over 50mpg overall (real world not the computer) but with long journeys at the weekend too I'm doing 350+ miles a weeks so any savings would be useful.
