Does anyone have any advice about this? If you are selling a car
privately, prospective buyers are going to want to test-drive the car
before making a buying decision. But letting them do so, obviously
presents some risk. The prospect could crash or damage the car, for

A question for the panel...
I was sat in stationary traffic on a busy roundabout when, as we were
about to get moving, the car in front of me started to roll back and
hit my front bumper. Incidentally, during the roll (which only lasted a

I am thinking about buying an 02 plate new shape 2.2 DTi Vectra with
84000 on the clock. I cover about 13000 a year so need it to last to
150000 miles at least. Any good or bad experiences or advice pre

A pal has just bought an MP3 CD player/radio for his Peugeot Partner
and wants to know how to remove the original cassette radio. I had a
quick look and there's the usual 4 holes to stick nails or whatever
in, but it doesn't want to move. In fact I can't feel any tabs inside.

Don't really want to pay for the Bluetooth option the new car I am buying so
has anyone any advice on adding Bluetooth from a third-party installer?
I have a Tom Tom Go but don't always use it so using the car's sound system

Hiya,

I need a cheap runaround and there is a Volvo 850 with 105k, 2.5l, for £500

I've recently got second hand Citroen ZX 1.4l, Saloon heater is not blowing
warm air at any position of the temperature controll. Looks like water is not
going through it. This should not be because of the air in the cooling system
- checked that it is filled properly.

I've been try to access the Surf web site this morning but no luck.
Due to a change of employment I need info on insurance for business use as
my present insures Admiral won't cover my Surf for business use.
Anyone in the same boat can let me know which insurance company will cover

If I buy a new car before I've sold the other one and then transfer my
insurance, then the old car obviously is no longer insured. So long as
I'm not using the old car, and it's off the road - is this legal? I
figure it might just be tricky with people wanting to test drive it

When people go to mainland Europe, buy a car and drive it back to
England, does HM Customs take note of the registration number and
driver's name and address and register it on some database?
I'm just wondering what happens if they then get caught speeding or

does anyone know where the registrations HSV and OO originated from

Had a new Vauxhall Astra Twintop 1.9tdi a couple of weeks now though not
very impressed with the fuel economy. The trip computer shows an average mpg
of around 26 -27 around town though I would of expected much better,
especially as the 1.9tdi Ford Galaxy we also have does around 30 ...

Here is an email my friend got back from the ebay scam guy.
