• Nissan Primera Primera P12 2.2dCi - Vacuum Pump parts failure 27 Sep 2011 (Forum)

• Skoda Octavia - No Remote Locking 1 Jul 2010 (Forum)

• Never a WORSE time to buy on finance.... 5 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I thought I would start this thread as the polar opposite to the other current thread "Never a better time to buy - if you have money" Because if discussing it saves a few people from being tempted due to low car prices and brushing aside the credit and current economic risk issue..... surely that`s good. Question, Would you really feel safe, currently, borrowing on credit for a car you didn`t actually need? Let`s hear the caution from the wise and experienced - a little insight or stories of what has happened to people you know, or have heard of, who have overstretched or encountered bad luck with `credit` car purchase and motoring.
• How has motoring changed over the last 11 years? 17 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Have things improved for the motorised masses since Labour's ascent to power in 1997? Were things really any better in the 80's and 90's and where do you think we would be had the Conservatives remained in power? Do you think that the spread of gatso's, reduced road building programmes, intrusive traffic calming, prohibitive 'green' taxes, inefficient bus lanes, suffocating legislation (from the E.U. side of things) are all inevitable parts of modern life?
