My wife is the other side of N England where we have acquired an 8 yr old Ford Fiesta and it is now in her name. We need to get it back over here to sell. What's the best way to go re insurance? Do I have to take out a years insurance for what could be one days use then cash it in?

I was putting out Peugeot 206D on EBay to sell when I discovered it hasn't had an MOT for the last 3 months. It is 10 yrs old and I have owned it from new. According to various book values it could be worth anything from 600-1400 GBP. However, I have been given a quote from our garage of £800. It needs a recon Gearbox, 4 tires and a new battery + minor other things. Do I sell with or without...

My car (03 Honda Civic) has been off the road for the past year. Last week I had it MOTd and taxed. The second time I drove it after this, a warning light appeared indicating a problem with the engine management system, specifically connected with emissions control. This seems to mee to be a rather obscure problem, certainly not one I can solve. Has anybody any suggestions? Alan Mills...

Anyone know if I am right in thinking that the towbar for a Megane and Megane Scenic (96/98) are the same. IIRC they shared the same chasis/running gear. -- Regards, "The car in front is a Toyota", aren't you glad it's in front?

I have a 1990 Toyota Celica. Before I am told, it's not good enough for the car scrappage scheme. I was reading in a site that it is better to strip all the bits than taking it (or having someone take it) to the scrap yard where you will get little money after you pay for the transport. I bought some parts like the alternator 4 years ago, others are in good condition.

Does anyone have experience of any of these? http://tinyurl.com/yfcfzoo http://tinyurl.com/yga2sf5 http://tinyurl.com/yl2pky7 Any recommendations for manuals? For a 57 plate vehicle. -- Peter

New-to-us car is too big to not have them. I'm not going to fit them myself, so any recommendations or horror-stories based on the common brands found on Google? I note there are, broadly, the no-holes electromagnetic type, or the regular grommet ultrasonic type. I don't mind the holes, especially if they are more effective - do they usually have a more effective range? Do the...

Could not get the car out of the drive this morning, spinning wheels etc, tried about four times no luck. What I need is grit methinks. However grit like gold dust right now so no use. Then remembered something I heard on the radio. Cat litter. The gravelly stuff. Went indoors and got some, spread it on the drive, out first time no problem. Cat didn't care.
