All Time to change cars - 10 months tax left on this one. Is it worth trying to sell or just get tax back and scrap. Car: 1995 Escort 1.6 16v LX - 90k miles Alberto green

Ignorant Arsehole sat on my bumper for about 2 miles yesterday (early, 7am) morning in Liverpool (capital of no-culture). Sped past, giving me a V-Sign before doing the same intimidating tailgating to another car in front. Got caught up at a set of lights when he was stuck behind a JCB and nobody would let him out, tee hee hee. Anyway, the van had on it M J Quinn.

I am currently looking for a cheap and temporary car - perhaps the perfect time to pick up a cheap e30 to bash around? I may have found a 2 door 1990 E30 in black. Has some MOT and Tax on it - high mileage though. I haven't seen it personally. What sort of price range should a car like this be in? It has alloys but no luxuries like Air Con. (manual, petrol and 318).

I have been subscribed to the traffic camera download service for about 6 weeks but have yet to receive an e-mail alert saying that the files have been updated Am I to assume that no new camera sites have been added to the database? Tricky

Hello all, Need some help with a few different areas with buying a used car. Firstly some background, currently driving a extremely crappy VW Polo 1.4 CL (96), not holding out for too much for it, or anything at all. Will hopefully get the car on finance from the dealer (credit history not too great and might struggle to get a personal loan), not sure on what type of finance to go for. Have a...

Has anybody found that the steering wants to self centre strongly.

Some of you may remember the Harlequin that turned out not be a Harlequin. In the end, my mum kept it, because she liked it. However, this past week, the immobiliser has been playing up, to the point where I've been out to the car a couple of times to get it started. It seems to begun intermittently disarming the immobiliser, which is nice. This now means that my Mum's driving her old Polo...

My wife has an MX5, loves it but would like to have aircon fitted. I understand that as a factory option it can be fitted and have asked the dealers for the cost of a retrofit. As ever always best to ask on a NG,any suggestions recommendations for installers in the Nottingham area if the dealers are still scratching their heads in a fortnights time Regards

....... 'cos I have absolutely no idea. Subaru Impreza 1.8GL Auto 4wd. 1994L 12500 miles Immaculate condition - garaged all it's life. Any ideas, and does anyone want it?! Cheers,

"Ed Chilada" wrote in message ... It occured to me the other day that I've never seen a police car filling up with fuel. Presumbly they have their own supplies? Tax free red diesel probably! Hm! next you'll be saying you never see coaches filling up either!

It's some sort of flap in the inlet system that closes up a valve at slow idle. I don't know how much good it does but the badges annoy me too! Alan

Hi All, We had a great day out at the London Motor Show on Friday - you can see our pictures he http://www.addanimage.com/addanimage_viewlinks.php?catagory=116 Cheers, pondlife.

I have had my Tom Tom Go for about a month now and have used in two cars and I have only managed to get the car charger to work once When you plug it in it just doesn't seem to work all that well - I push it in hard to ensure contact but only once did it actually connect and I was able to charge the unit Anyone else experiencing difficulties?

Does anyone know if matte cellulose paint is porous? Got some for an old Massey and don't really want to paint it to have it rusting away in a year or two.

Hi all, Short version: Is it possible to get gearbox damage from a rear-end shunt that did not cause any cracking of a bumper. Bumper was pushed in about 1.5 inches on one side though and now when passengers are in the back there is a noise going over uneven surfaces. -------------------------------

Where could I get one? All the alarms I've looked at are superduper things and I just want a very basic two wire job. Any ideas? Si

Spinning a Caterham, breaking a Clio, scaring myself to death in a JP1, Roaring with laughter in a Nissan 350Z, driving a mad off road course, Grinning like a posessed fool (and getting cramp) in an FPA and failing to keep a 911 in a straight line on a completely sodden road. I'm bored (and aching) now. And driving country roads in my A class I keep imagining the sound of "power - power -...

speed to go over them you reckon, to do as little damage to your car, and the most comfortable etc? Well, I don't know much about drugs, but I would suggest not taking speed whist driving. OK, the effects of speed might make driving over cattle grids seem better, but what if you were having a bad trip? You might think the cattle grid was a great big multi-coloured sea of elephants flying...

What would your two dream cars be? I say two because, one is allowed to be more practical than the other if you need to carry a family or friends in :), so for arguments sake my two would be a Ferrari F40 and for practical purposes the newest Rolls Royce(the one Clarkson took over the Humber bridge. :) Bored at work(need some inspiration from the group!)

How much property was involved do you suppose from when the government owned the land and everything on it? Never mind the millions that the news vendors are touting at the moment the real cost of the car industry has been horrendous has it not?
