The new Batmobile is going to be at Rockingham Motor Speedway on 3rd July!

It's a pretty full day; six races, Batmobile. air display, track displays,

I've an '84 Classic Range Rover featuring a lower tailgate with external
lever.
Would the fittings etc of a later model with internal lever be suitable for
a straight swap, as mine is now rusting?

Hi all, we're hiring 2 cars on holiday this summer and I'm not sure
which of the choices will be big enough for 7 adults, 2 kids (6 and 8)
and luggage (20 kg max each).
For roughly the same money we can hire:

I'm looking to spend about £1500 on a ragtop for the summer. Not hugely
bothered about performance, just for pottering around in. So far most I've
come across are old BMWs and M/R reg Astras. The Astra looks OK to me, and
the ones I've come across are well looked after and usually ...

What's the general opinion of Astra auto gearboxes? What about if one has
done 87,000 miles in a 1994 Astra 1.4?

When you register a car as SORN, do you get any kind of certificate to say
that it's been officially SORNed, or do you just have to hope they get it
right at DVLA?
TIA

Noticed advert on TV, does anyone know if a new V5c is sent to you
automatically, or do you have to sent DVLA your V5 to get a new one?

Has anyone ever opted for the bodywork and seat fabric 'protector' treatment
when ordering a new car?
Is it any good / worth having / good value?
I have never seen it mentioned in 'What Car?'

Have a V5, but do the DVLA automatically sent this to you?  Do you have to
send in your V5 to get a new V5c
thanks

I wonder if there are any web sites set up to collate the numerous instances
of gross incompetence at the DVLA. Anybody know of any?
I have my own little tail of woe here where the lazy staff and ineffective
management don't know how to use postcode software, they keep confusing me

1. Is it still the case that large savings on the price of new cars can
be had by buying them from European dealerships and then registering
them here?  I know that, say, five years ago, this was true, but was
wondering if the new car market here has "normalised".

Had a new clutch put in on the 5/5/04 driving today and clutch is
difficult to engage gears. Garage that fitted clutch (local garage)
closes till Monday. Got the receipt but doesn`t say anything about the
length of the guarantee. So are clutches usually guaranteed for 1 or 2

I'm buying my BMW 3 series from the lease company, I find BMW
servicing good but it always seems expensive, anyone recommend
anyone cheaper who maybe specialises in BMWs (south east London)

Was given one a few days ago.
I'd never have baught one for myself. :-) £20 seems a lot for what it is.
Used it today, and was surprised how well it worked. I didn't think the
washing part was anything special, but the so called drying operation worked
