• Citroen Xsara (1997 - 2004) - 02 2.0 Tyre speed rating - which one to fit? 27 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  My car needs 4 new tyres. The ones I want to fit made by Kumho only come in V rating The 8 year old originals still on the car are H rated. Is it OK to fit the V's? Will my insurers or the MOT test be a problem?
• Volkswagen Golf VI (2009 - ) - New Golf delivery 21 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I have ordered a new Golf VI Tdi under scrappage. The delivery date keeps moving - car has been ordered but delivery has slipped from late August to late September or early October. The MOT on my old car was up so te garage has removed it for destruction. Are VW way behind on their Golf delivery promises?
• FIAT Bravo (2007 - ) - New Fiat Bravo? 9 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I'm looking for a 150bhp Diesel (tried the 150 T jet but wasn't keen) but am a little concerned these cars have Stilo underpinnings. I know there are probally much better cars for the money but I love the way they look and they look very good value for money at two years old but is they a valid reason for this or is it just fear of Fiats?
• Number plate valuation 7 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  My daughter's getting rid of her thirteen year old Micra. It's got an NI registration TAZ nnnn. I was wondering if it might be worthwhile trying to sell it seperately. The car's taxed and tested so there should be no issues there. I've no experience in this area and haven't a clue if it's got any value and if it has would it be more trouble and costly re-registering the car than the return on the registration?
• What's in *your* cubby hole? 20 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  I ask this question, since I have just remembered that the tin-opener, which I have been looking for, off and on, for some weeks, has just turned up in the car's cubby hole. It was accompanied by a pair of opera-glasses, some ears of wheat, a few car-park tickets, some old moorland sheep's bones, and some things that really shouldn'tve been there. So, what's in yours?
• FIAT Grande Punto (2006 - 2009) - 1.2 - Anyone driven one? 2 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Just wondering if anyone's had a drive in this car? Thinking about one to replace my Fiesta 1.25. Is the 1.2 engine painfully slow or actually not too bad in the old rev-the-nuts-off-it Italian small car way? Also had a look at the Mitsubishi Colt, £5k ish to spend.
• VW Bora 1.6 S 21 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Hi there everyone, Just bought one of these today. 1 previous owner, 15k on the clock, 04 registration, £6495 from an approved dealer. Really excited about it, got a pretty good deal for my old car too. Picking it up next Tuesday, but not sure I can wait that long! Has anybody had any experience of these cars? What did you think of it? Cheers
• Nissan Almera 10 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  I am thinking of buying a Nissan Almera, It has been written off by the insurance as cat c. The dealer selling the car told me that he has replaced front head lights, front, back bumper and a passanger side wing. Its for about 2000 £ and is 7 years old. Do you think its worth spending that much money on this car??

• Nissan X Trail-Gone 16 May 2006 (Forum)
  My next door neighbours sister-in-law went shopping to Barkingside in Essex a couple of weeks ago, parked and locked/alarmed up her 2 year old X Trail, when she returned the car had gone, and has not been seen since. I thought modern cars were almost as safe as houses, is she unlucky or are Nissans easy to steal? Regards
• Merc A Class - snapped springs 2 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I discovered yesterday that both rear springs on my Mercedes A Class have snapped. The car is 2000W registered and has covered only 25K miles. I have also discovered that Mercedes have updated the design of the spring because of this problem. Does the panel think it is even worth me trying to claim from Mercedes as the car is well over 5 years old?
• 2 Key system on 1998 ford ka 7 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I have had my car reprogrammed thanks to the help from this sit. I now have 3 working keys but have had an idea. My old key obviously open the doors but could I reprogramme it to the new code using the process in the manual.
• Porky Peugeots 25 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Read an article in the paper today about how as cars get bigger it is increasingly hard to park them in standard car park bays. Also saw my first new Peugeot 407 today. Good looking vehicle but its a porker. Seems all new models are bigger than the old ones.

• Road Tax Exemption 25 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Can anyone here clarify the requirements for a car to be tax exempt. I always believed it was only vehicles built before a certain date (1974 or 1975 ish) that are eligible for road tax exemption. However, someone in work has a car for sale that was built in August 1979 and they claim that as of August 2004 the vehicle will be tax exempt because the rules state that once a vehicle is 25 years old its then eligible.

• Chrysler Crossfire and Clarkson 27 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Regarding HJ's Top Car report today - the December 03 Crossfire that failed to even reach 20k... Could one comment from Clarkson regarding the dog-squatting rear end really cause this, or is the car, if you excuse the pun, a real dog...?

• Top Trumps 30 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  For some reason (probably because it is Friday afternoon) my mind started wandering and ended up on Top Trumps. It got me thinking that this was what got me first interested in cars. Do they still make Top Trumps (cos as soon as my boy is old enough.....)? My favourite car was the Monteverdi Hai 450 GTS. Always quicker than the Ferraris and Lambos but lost out on weight! Ahh those were the days.
