Has anyone ever come across or know of a why to find out the rough cost of an insurance premium in relation to an insurance group? I know that usually with insurance there are a lot of variables involved, but just wondered if there is a general guideline anywhere. Cheers

Have there been any cars (reasonably priced..say under 15K) you've (anybody) driven which have really surprised you in regards to power and acceleration? Look forward to hearing your experiences.

Anybody know of a cheap, performance car hire company. There are loads out there, but the cheapest I've found so far is £165 per day, which, if you want to try the car out for more than a day - is quite a lot. Let me know if you have. Thanks

Just wondering about this as I've heard both good and bad things about the Boxter. What I keep reading about is common problems with the oil seals, which seem to cost a lot to get repaired and there seems to be a problem with the gears crunching from 1st to 2nd - has anyone come across these...

Anybody ever heard of one of these being done, 'cause I'm having terrible trouble finding a company that'll do it. I've tried all the obvious ones and they don't do it. It seems the new Astra 1.7 is supported, so why not the Corsa!? Thanks

Had my 1.7 CDTi Vauxhall Corsa for a couple of weeks now, but am finding that occasionally when I'm pulling away I'm getting a kind of jerking thing going on & it can be quite a jump sometimes. It's seems to tend to happen when I'm pulling away in a higher gear, like second gear when I've...

Just bought a 1.7 CDTi SXi Corsa - am really pleased with it although it doesn't seem to have quite the punch of the Kia Ceed 1.6 diesel that I drove a few months ago, despite being more powerful on paper. I've noticed that although there's not much power in first gear, the higher gears seem to...

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a BMW Z3 (probably the 2.0 Litre version) , obviously these are old cars now, but if I can find a relatively low mileage one (say under 40k), is this a sensible buy or in your opinions is this a bad idea taking into account running costs, parts etc.? Thanks in advance.

There's a guy who drives past me like a maniac every morning when I'm on my way to work and everytime he changes gear there's a sound like a loud hydraulic piston, it seems to be when he puts the clutch down. He's obviously 'modded' his car quite a lot and it seems really fast - so was just...

Was just wondering if Autotrader has the most comprehensive listings of cars for sale in the country or if there are any other really good websites/services for the budding buyer? Cheers.

Just wondering if anyone can give me an idea of when prices will start to drop on used cars, now that the new reg's are out. The car I'm looking to get, according to the Parkers website should have depreciated by quite a lot in it's first year (as I'm sure most of them do), but does this mean...

As I've mentioned in my previous post, I've been driving a Kia Cee'd 1.6 LS diesel recently (got it as a courtesy car) and I've absolutely loved it. One question though, although I've seen stated in several places that the combined mpg for a 1.6 diesel Cee'd should be 60mpg, I've only been...

Hi, I've been driving a Kia Ceed diesel, of all things, as a courtesy car for the last two weeks, and quite honestly I've been impressed - it has a real kick in the acceleration (it's the 113bhp LS version), so I'm thinking about getting one. I was wondering as it seems to have a turbo 'kick'...

I currently own a silver, '52 reg Mazda MX5 sport edition with air con - and I think I must be going insane...because I don't like it very much. How is it that everybody loves the MX5 and hails it as being one of the best cars ever made, yet I can't get on with it. Sure, it's got a great look...

my name's Tim and I'm facing a conundrum - I currently own a silver, '52 reg Mazda MX5 sport edition with air con - and I think I must be going insane...because I don't like it very much. How is it that everybody loves the MX5 and hails it as being one of the best cars ever made, yet I can't...
