Is the Audi Sound System worth getting as an option? I can't find any info on it comparing it to the standard system.

After how many miles does the timing belt on a 2015 diesel Ford Focus 1.5 have to be changed?

How much can I expect to get for a private sale of a black Peugeot 407 HDI 1.6? Few extras include rear parking sensors, retracting side mirrors etc. It's in good nick with a few scratches on the driver's door handle. Also, roughly any idea how much I would get for it as a trade in?

What are the common faults with the Range Rover Sport?

How good or bad are Smart Roadsters?

Doing a bit a research on Renault.  I bought a new Renault Laguna III 1.5 dCi in January 2008 with beige half leather and auto hand brake and now have 210,000km on the clock. I forked out €32k in 2008 and five years later the engine is gone. Not happy, won’t buy another Renault. Seems to be a built-in switch that when it reaches 200,000km or five years the car is knackered. I have to get a replacement engine, which is impossible and not cheap. So much for commercial good will. Car was serviced and timing belt was changed. I would not recommend Renault to anyone, especially when the garage/dealer that I bought it from in 2008 is now in liquidation (not mentioning any names). Is it true that I potentially only have recourse through dealer of purchase? Are people out there aware of this situation?

Can my father change the Motability car he got in April 2017 due to my parents struggling to get in or out due to the car being too big for them? Both have mobility problems.

Hi,

How would you compare, performance wise, the 2.0, 170hp Skoda Superb against the new Octavia RS?

Thanks

Hi,

My parents have a 1991 Toyota Previa and lately it has been making a lot of metal grinding sounds from the rear. I took it out to test it and for the first few minutes the car seems fine. But after a while, and especially on the motorway, the car starts making metal grinding sounds.

We took it to a couple of garages and they said it was the rear axle. To fix/replace it, its going to cost around €700 to €1,000 depending on if we want to fix/replace the whole axle. Can the rear axle really be the problem? And does the price range sound right for this problem?

Thank you.

Hello,

I have a 2007 Skoda Octavia 2007 1.9 TDI that sometimes won't start - the engine will turn over, but won't start. When it does eventually start it runs ok for a while, then it cuts out and won't start any more: fuel pump, pipes, filter and fuses etc, have been checked and all ok. Have a fault code but not sure if related - P1650 data bus powertrain: missing message from instrument cluster ECU.

Thanks

Steve
