BMW want $82,300 for their entry-level 5 Series sedan, the 520d with its very good four cylinder turbo diesel. Says it all for the obscenely inflated prices Australians pay for prestige cars that this seems almost acceptable. The Touring (that's wagon to us) is $92,800. Uh, sorry? _________________________________________________ Calgary Real Estate

Alright just wondering if you know how or what I have to change to replace my 1999 clio rear lights to the 02 ones the connecters are different but don't have a clue ?????? Cheers connor

New headlight tint material. Launched in the UK just yesterday. MOT approved and stops only a fraction of the light so its safe! Goes really well with the window tints. Headlight tinting to find your nearest installer

Where is the best location to put a gps tracker so it wont be discovered and are their any particular types you'd recommend.

Hi all, The wife bumped her Skoda Octavia recently, and we had to get it repaired by the insurance company (it caused quite a lot of damage the plastic elements etc). The accident involved her hitting something head on (yes, I know......). The bumper, frame underneath, bonnet, grill and both light clusters where replaced, but the light clusters seem out of line to how I remember them. I've not...

Fun, nippy, a feel-good car. Not that fuel efficient and way too expensive, considering how good the Polo on which it's based is.

Dashboard that encourages hyper-miling fun and a...

Good at everything, so competent it's almost boring. Relaxing to drive, love the head-up display. Magnificent 2.0 engine, though very diesel-sounding, has all the power you need while remaining almost unfeasibly economical.

Morning gents, I've just gone all hairdresser and bought a broken 1.8T Audi TT to do up. Anyone left here wot knows 1.8Ts? Here's a pic of the inlet side of my Turbo: http://tinyurl.com/3d99lec

In the true spirit of this newsgroup, I'm being priced off the road. So it feels. Thing is, I can't justify spending so much on insurance when I take the bus to work and as much as I enjoy the Saab, it's not special enough. I take the bus to work, I maybe drive once a week because it's there, mostly I don't need to... I'm thinking, shed time or City Car subscription. -- The DervMan

Before I picked this one up, one of the lads said, "do you know these pool cars are restricted to 62mph" ? There and then, my challenge there and then was of course to make it go faster than that, somehow. Until I sat down in it and switched on the ignition. There in the middle of the dash, the in car readout goaded me with the following declaration.
