New car sales down 20% by Krustov
Thats a good thing as most car dealers are scumbags - and when they sell you a new car its like they are doing you a favour . Heres hoping lots of new car dealers go tits up . A QUESTION: Have you ever been shafted by a car dealership because they have you over a barrel ? .

Car Break in - which of these scenarios was most likely... by junk@davidbevan.co.uk
I had my GPS stolen from the glove box of my car last night which was parked on my drive. ....I know I shouldnt really leave it in the car etc and so i'm not looking for anyone's sympathy, but was interested in guessing how it was stolen. No damage was caused to the car and the 'break in' was silent (as we were asleep about 30 feet from the car) - and yes i defo locked it. Possibility No 1:

Supaguard etc by Chris Bartram
As I'm back in the market for a new to me car, I've been doing the rounds of the dealers, and it seems they all offer Supaguard, Diamondbrite, or some other fancy protection coating. Is this, as I suspect, a total waste of money and load of old ********, and the cash would be better spent elsewhere (even on good polish etc), or is there *any* value whatsoever in it? Suffice to say I have...

uk.rec.cars.misc by az4java@googlemail.com
Hello. I have recently got a 5 seat Mazda Premacy. The user manual says that for safety reasons, babies/children seat should never be fitted on the central-rear seat. So, only 2 child seats at the rear. It does not explain why the central one should not be used. There are 3 separate, equal-size seats on the rear, so I cannot explain why It's not allowed to fit 3 children on the 3 rear sits.

Don't switch your engine off while in a queue by Mark W
Motorists who turn their engines off while waiting in traffic may be fined £20, a new proposal was imagined yesterday. A spokesman for the oil industry may have said something like, 'It's irresponsible and wasteful for motorists to turn their engines off unless they have reached their destination.' Cars will soon have to be fitted with 'black boxes' which the driver will have to program with...

Removing diesel from bodywork? by Mike P
Can anyone tell me what the best way to remove a fair amount of diesel from my car's bodywork is please? It got pretty soaked right up to halfway up the doors. I've ran it through the car wash a couple of times but it's still stained. In short, on my way to work this morning came round a roundabout blind, a truck had *lost* it's diesel tank and there was a quite a deep river of diesel all...

GPS Stolen from car - should I claim on Home Ins or Car Ins? by junk@davidbevan.co.uk
I had my GPS stolen from my car last night, its only a few months old and cost me £250. I'm not sure what my insurance excess is on my home or car ins policies, but purely in terms of increased future premiums is it worth claiming, if so which one will sting me less? I appreciate I may not have included enough info to answer this, but just wondered if there is a golden rule - eg 'Never claim on...

Rotating the spare tyre? by Lobster
In days gone by, I always used to rotate the spare wheel of my car, to even out the wear on 5 wheels rather than 4 (also confirms the spare's OK, too). However our current car (a 2003 Zafira owned from new) has alloy wheels - well, 4 alloys! - which means that practically speaking the spare (a tatty steel wheel mounted below the car) never gets used at all (we've never had a puncture). The...
