Is it mad to buy a new car in October?
Hi lads,
Am I mad to be considering buying new in October? I got a very good price on a new Volkswagen Golf Edition R, saving just over €1,000 than if I waited until the New Year. I've shopped around and this is the lowest cost to change I've got. Most important thing to me is the lowest price for the car and I'll be keeping it for a good few years so depreciation is not too much of a concern. This offer has tempted me but I'm in two minds. Buy now or wait?

How much is my Renault Grand Scenic worth?
How much is my 2007 1.6 petrol 7 seater Renault Grand Scenic "Dynamique Luxe" worth ?, mileage is 65,000 km or 40,625 miles, NCT until May 2013, full service history. Does the extra features in the "Luxe" model make any difference - the main differences are climate contol, hands free locking system, and double sunroof.

Is my Citroen's clutch gone?
While driving my Citroen C4 1.6 HDi 110bhp last night at 100km/h in fifth the rev counter went max and I lost all power. The engine was still running fine but I rolled to a stand still unable to find a gear without it hitting max revs. The clutch pedal feels fine so I have no idea what is wrong. I can still start the car just won't go. Any help would be great,

What's wrong with the brakes on my Lexus?
I replaced the brake discs and pads of my 2001 Lexus GS 300 about 16 weeks ago. They were changed because the whole front end of the car vibrated violently while braking - including the steering wheel. After changing the discs and pads everything was ok, but now it's back the very same again please.
Help!
