• Ford servicing question 1 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  And finally ... here is my question: Has anyone else experienced these problems? I notice that when I book the car in for servicing it is done through Ford UK who then pass on details to the garage. Is it just this garage, or a more general problem with Ford UK? (Needless to say I'll be using another garage next time.)

• Honda CR-V Hybrid - our new motor 26 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  Took delivery of our brand new Honda CR-V Hybrid 4WD yesterday, which replaced our 2015 1.6 diesel 2WD. First impressions are very favourable - it's smooth, comfortable, and feels somehow more solid, almost like our Saab 9-5 that the previous one replaced. Round town, it feels very lively with instant pickup, probably due to the lag-free response of the electric motor.

• Hyundai i10 - Incorrect HPI from Autotrader 6 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  Hi sorry if I'm going over old information but I need a bit of advice. We bought an i10 second hand in September 2015. The car was advertised by a dealer through Autotrader, so to be safe we did an hpi check with Autotrader, which came back as all clear (we still have a copy). The car has hardly been used so we decided to sell it on Autotrader and imagine our surprise when the advert labelled the car as 'Cat D'.

• Peugeot 308 - Tensioner/Alternator belt 4 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  Just bought a used Peugeot 308 2L Bluehdi Auto reg Nov 2015 with 17000mls on the clock. After 2 days and 20 miles the engine warning light came on with the accompanying message "Engine fault : have the vehicle repaired". I immediately took it back to the Franchised garage I had just bought it from and who had fully serviced it prior to sale and their diagnostics revealed "P058D00 Battery voltage value invalid".

• What to buy? 29 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  I've not driven any of these cars yet and I won't have time to test examples of them all. I have driven late 90's Vectras and Astras and hated them with a vengeance, so that gives you an idea of what I don't like.I'm also happy with the idea of a high-mile but newer car.So over to the Back Room... what can I expect for my money?
