• Kia Sorrento - Kia warranty service/dealership experience 16 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  I had a bad experience with the previous year's service at the main dealer closer to where I work, so decided to try the one local to home. On picking the car up, they informed Mrs Nomag they had found an oil leak from the diff, and needed the car in for further investigation and to remedy, for two days. So the car was duly booked in and a courtesy car arranged.

• VW Touran 12plate Auto - 12 plate VW Touran Auto Gearbox gone 3 months 27 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  The car was bought from a fairly large used car dealer. They are saying for us to contact VW to try and get them to arrange a repair or give a goodwill gesture towards repair and the used car dealer will also contribute to this repair - but we will have to also contribute to this repair!?
• Returning Faulty Car? 1 May 2009 (Forum)

• East Coast Salvage - Any Good??? 23 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  My rationale is to use the money I can save to have the car fully serviced and even buy an extended warranty (I know many of you don?t like them but it may be worth if something goes really wrong) and I should still have some cash left.

• Citroen DS3 - New small car - shortlist help 5 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  I'm currently driving a 2010 VW Scirocco 170TDI (55,000 on the clock) and am mulling trading it in for a new small car - as it's now our "second" car and not very family friendly compared to my wife's Golf (baby number 2 on the way). I'm only using it for the odd commute etc. - probably only 6,000 a year if that (and not as many long journeys as I used to, so worried about DPF or EGR problems creeping in).
• decoding Kia VIN 10 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I also suspect that the VIN contains the proof I need that the car is European spec, as all US Mentors (or whatever they call them over there) start with KNAFB while UK/Euro ones appear to have KNEFB - A for Asian or American, E for Euro? If I give the VIN of my car can anyone out there confirm what precise information it gives about my car.
