Dubz - I know the history of this one and how much has been spent on it since I have worked there (we counted of 3k of bills today). I am reluctant to get a 106 or ka as IMO they are death traps crash test wise (plus I despise the ka - had a sporty one and it was a pile of shiz) Im not too...

Hi all! To cut a long (and possibly boring) story short, I have a need for a run about car for about 6 months ish.... only to do like 15 miles a day whilst the wife has mine. I work with in a primary school and one of the ladies there is selling her black golf GTI. Its a bit of a dog...

Ah that's good news then, I haven't changed mine for 3 years now! ah well :)

I haven't had one of these.... Should I have received one? (hate the idea of a massive tax bill coming through) You wouldn't believe that my dad is a chartered accountant would you... I should know more about tax.

Hi all, I have a quick few questions to try and make my car a bit more "luxurious?" As a background I have now become the owner of a 64 plate Dacia sandero lauriette TCE (apparently top of the range.... mmhm) My wifes currently got a ford fiesta as a courtesy car which has some nice features...

Thank you very much for your help - I will give them a buzz tomorrow (already left them a message) and see if they will come and collect it. If not, I shall have to tow it in to them. Good chatting to you also - I will be looking into getting rid of this peugeot soon anyway, Would rather not...

That's what i tried first - hoping it was the same as my 2 clios, 1 scenic and twingo that all had the airbag warning light problem :( it appears to be related to whenever I steer on full lock - annoyingly the internet peugeot gods seem to suggest this is the COMMS2000 unit failing.... yay...

thank you for your response - I have pushed it into our garage for the night - And will see what the dealers recommend in the morning. Om not sure if I have snapped the end off today or if it has ever had one (only had it a month and never checked the oil apart from when buying it... it had one...

Hi all, I now have a renault modus (1.2 tce - I believe the same engine as the GT?) well today I went to check the oil and found that there is no end on the dip stick (the bit that gives you a level) I haven't run the car since - What should i do? The dipstick in the modus is plastic, will...

Thank you Twins go - We have avoided it as it seemed a bit to much to take on. Still on the hunt!

Ah - didn't know the chains could snap at all - this one being on 52k I suppose its near that time. Tah for the feedback.

To cut a very long story very short - after much talk of getting a twingo... the wife has had a massive change of heart and now wants the car below - but Im bothered abotu the cambelt (as we have just had my 307's done) Does it have one...

Not the top gear one - the first one in the clip is hy58uws - then the one on the ice rink is hy58vaj. Think the "uws" one ended up in the sea?

Thanks for the advice spitfire1- we are looking at a 16v at the moment but the trade in value of our clio was awful so selling the clio first. Then seen as there are loads of older twingos out there, we may buy one for about 2.5 k to give it a go for a year or two. After this time we should be...

Thanks Oscar - I am off to look at that one and an 11 reg dynamique model that the wife has fallen in love with. The only issue with the gordini is that she works in a rather dodgy place, locking up alone late at night so we don't want a car that will bring any unwanted attention ... Il see how...
