Saw one going cheap locally, advertised on the side of a near by road where I live. Just wondering what the background feeling is of this car, good bad ? got 54k, £800, 1 owner, mot and tax till end of year, good condition, always serviced.

Ok, I have to admit I'm confused by all the forms to do with cars and regulations. Here's the situation: I have an old Rover, which has recently packed in. Immobiliser gone and break discs shot. Both repairable, but too costly. So we have decided to sell it for parts, but we have lost the V5C/logbook thingy (you can see I'm very technical about it).

I have just had these replaced on my v6 4 motion golf. The garage told me that when they were last fitted they were fitted incorrectly. on checking through my records I had these bushes replaced at the same garage one year ago. Should I query this with the garage ? do you think they are just ripping off a vulnerable female ??

I very rarely buy or sell cars, so I would welcome some advice. I'm going to buy a 2nd hand Focus and want to make sure it is not going to need repairs soon or there is some damage which needs frequent maintenance. I had thought of getting from a private seller but I have heard a coupl eof times that private sellers tend to expect too much. So it seems better to get a 2nd hand car from a...

I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had problems with car washes. I unfortunately used a Tesco drive in car wash and it managed to damage my TWO wing mirrors. I am trying to get Tesco to admit liability as it was impossible that I used the car wash incorrectly, misused and failed to comply with any of their regulations. they are saying the car wash was not deemed to be faulty and...

I think that it's a silly question BUT said that I would ask. A poorly friend has an 8 year old pug 106 that has great sentimental value and she wants to keep it and get power steering put in it so that she could drive it again. I think that it'll be too expensive - if at all possible - especially for a car so old. I think that she'll have to get a newer car on the Motorbility system. Any...

Hello, Can anyone with experience of the trailer test help? I passed my test after Jan 1st 1997 therefore need to do the trailer test to add category '+E' to my license, in order to tow trailers over 750kg. I have a test booked for a few weeks time, and a suitable trailer booked with a local hire company, who are fine with me using it for the test. I've got plenty of experience towing, -...

Hi, My MOT is about to expire this weekend and I can't find my current MOT cert. I know I could go to the garage where I did it last year to get a copy but I don't even know what garage that was as my mechanic took it there when he was doing the service. He is now on holiday and has switched his mobile off. Help!

Should all new cars have electronic speed limiters? Something like: All new cars sold in the UK / Europe must either: 1. Be electronically limited to travel at no more than 140 / 150km/hr 2. Be fitted with a GPS based speed limited limiting its speed to 15km/ hr above the prevailing speed limit. Almost everyone's first reaction to this idea is strongly negative.

Just bought a 2001 206. it has a radio cassette player,(Blankpukt)Cd changer (Clarion)and controls on a steering stalk. Anyone know if it's possible to change the radio to one with an MP3 player, and still retain the controls on the stalk and the display head?

There's an interesting description of the Mini QED's engine compartment - a 21 KWhr Li-ion battery. http://www.pmlflightlink.com/news.html Quote: "The completed battery is housed in an aluminium box that is similar in size and weight to the original Mini engine that it replaced." Anyone know what that weighs. Does any one know if they have room for a generator as well? How light

Whats the best way of knowing which wheels will go on a car? Ie, the bird wants some alloys for the Multipla, I guess Punto/Brave etc wheels will fit, is this correct? And what, if any, other cars are the same? Cheers.

Not seen this before - latest Insurance certificate received today now states, as the first item under Limitations, that the Policy does not cover... "Use on the Nurburgring". Is it that popular these days that they have to explicitly exclude it now!? I blame Top Gear.. D.

What would be the approximate price of a road sign bought privately? I am thinking of something like this which is on a pole about 4 foot high and contains 4-inch black lettering on a non-reflective white background http://i11.tinypic.com/66xmjyb.jpg

I would appreciate some advice/thoughts/opinions on the new BMW 3 series convertible. I am looking at the new model, with the metal roof. It is very nice, especially the roof, but the extras spec is negligible, and it is very expensive. There are no discounts to be had anywhere that I can find. My question is, is this a typical BMW trick? I think that maybe BMW are holding back on the...
