  • Volkswagen Golf - GOLF 1.4 TSI.. Road tax £30 v £125?? 2 Jun 2020 (Forum)
    Hey ??, So I’m looking to buy a 2015 1.4Tsi MK7 Golf. I’ve noticed some have annual tax of £30 and other have annual tax of £125. I know this is due to one have Co2 of 120 and the other being 123. But why do the exact same cars have different Co2 output?
  • Volvo V40 - 2.0 T2 vs 1.6 T3 Petrol Engines 27 Oct 2018 (Forum)
    I’m wondering what are people’s opinions on the Volvo V40 petrol engines? Have been looking at 2cars in particular - one is a 2013 T3 1.6 150bhp and the other is a 2015 T2 2.0L 122bhp. The 2013 version has a higher spec trim and lower mileage and is 2k cheaper. Anyone driven both and can offer a comparison? Thanks very much in advance.

  • Define your tipping point, to motoring discourtesy 14 Dec 2009 (Forum)
    There`s a stretch of road near here where cars park both sides and it`s effectively one lane only, down the middle. You don`t see the car approaching until the last second, due to a bend, so it`s a split second decision whether to pull in and flash the other car through - or press straight on hoping he will wait or there may be a gap in the middle to pull into.

  • Vectra, cold low idle surge? 9 Dec 2003 (Forum)
    I say *sounds* because that\'s the only symptom - the car doesn\'t actually physically surge, or not that I can tell - it just sounds as though it does. At higher speeds the engine seems fine and once warmed up it\'s ok at lower speeds to, so I\'m at a loss.
