I currently drive a W123 Merc 280e and am considering changing to an
older BMW estate on fuel and dog accommodation grounds. What kind of
MPG could I get out of a 1990-ish Beemer estate?

What sort of dents do you reckon it will work with?

Wondering about getting a Mercedes, something in the E200 range. Needs
to be an estate and would prefer manual. All the ones I've seen have
about 70 - 80k miles on them. Is this likely to be a problem? Any horror
stories / recommendations gratefully received

My creaky old Mondeo has a strange issue with the temperature - it goes
up fairly quickly when starting off (to about 1/4 of the scale within 2-3
miles) but then either stays there or goes right down to cold again, even
on long trips.

Because I'm planning on taking a 1,000+ trip to France in a couple of months
I'm intending to have my car serviced soon, it last had a service and MOT
(its first MOT)  in August 2007.
Even though the MOT isn't due until August would it be permissable to do one

Nationwide Autocentre what is wrong with this company ! I've heard & read so
many bad reports im surprised they are still trading.
I did an MOT on a vehicle this morning that had one done at a local
Nationwide, in fact they had it done yesterday but weren't happy with the

I am thinking of buying a BMW 5-series (E34). I'm going to look for a late
one (M or N reg, but I'm told there are a few on P-plates).
I am told the 518 is likely to be the most economical on motorway runs.

theres a buzzer that makes a constant beeping, when i come to a stop the
beeping stoops. Just trying to find out if the busser is ...

I have a 2001 Diesel Focus with a manual box. I bought the 'station
wagon' when it had been driven 32K km's. At that time the gear box
action was never 'smooth'; rapid shifts just didn't happen! Engaging
first was a struggle and sometimes changing up / down required some

Apologies for the simple question, it must appears I haven't done any
research whatsoever. I recently picked up a Ducato 2.0 petrol on a W reg
with little or no documents etc and no matter where I look, I can't find out
what engine is in it.

Does anyone happen to know the recommended oil for the Mini One 1.6?
No handbook to hand and can't find it on the interweb.

Had a glance through one of those christmas gift books in the bookshop
today, something along the lines of "Cars what you Dad might've drove once"
with the top gear name stuck to it. The striking thing is that average, slow
family cars used to be economical if they managed more ...

Got a slow leak on one of my front tyres. Not too bad but needs to be
topped up very week.
To be honest, I think its because the rim of the alloy is slightly
dented so its not sitting properly.

Hi all, again.
My old mondy [1] has totally shagged front discs. Well, they're 11
years old.  I'm not rich, so I want to get some aftermarket discs, but
which brands would you lot reccomend as being good?  That is to say,
