Just a thought, diesel is approximately £1.38 a litre, domestic heating oil around 60p per litr (more or less the same thing), hence a lot of duty on the vehicle fuel, in the future when we're using a lot more electric cars the govt are going to have to replace lost income so my question...

considering everything such as reliability, longevity, economy, comfort and space, which is the best van to buy used for under £2000, I do like the Ducato for its width and the old t1 shape merc's as they look great to me, but on a serious note (the wallet) which is the best to look at, thank you

I need a smaller car and am kind of leaning towards the mkV Golf, Despite saying I'd never have another VAG product, with my caution in mind which of the multitude of engines found in the 5 if any has a reasonable amount of reliability? and represents a good buy? Thanks all

Hi all, I have bought a bit of a Lemon, after all it's a VAG product so can be expected, One of the lemon problems is smoking at idle, which we think is more than likely oil passing past the piston rings. Years ago the norm was to use a higher viscosity oil, But these days it is said engines...
