Motoflow
Nobody seems to have heard of this product but I've put something called a Motoflow 2 on my Daewoo Lanos and it's cut my petrol usage by about 12%.

Job title affects car insurance

Comedians and choirmasters end up forking out £200 a year more than clergymen, even whenthey drive the same car and live in the same area, according to car insurance…

Help, what car shall I get!
Hi I'm looking a new(er) car than my current one and I have no idea what to go for! I've got a Punto which I love, but I don't want another Fiat because I don't like the accelerator position - too high, makes the leg ache if I'm in flat shoes...and it's a shame because I've driven a Stilo and it was great, very responsive…

Planning a change of car soon and I have a NCD of 2yrs 6 months. I am weighing up changing my insurer as they are good value on my current car, but not great value on the one I want to buy.

Finance or capital to purchase 2nd hand car?
I've probably missed the point of this website but everyone keeps telling me I should use other people's money instead of my own. However I can't see how it makes sense to borrow at a higher rate than the interest you'd lose buying with your own capital. Currently in the process of buying a BMW - they have their own…

Advice - Diesel Picasso or Meriva
Am starting a new job soon and for a very low monthly price indeed, they offer company cars as a benefit. I've narrowed it down to the Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0 Diesel Exclusive (so top of the range accessories there) or the Vauxhall Meriva 1.7 CDTi Diesel Design with AC (so again top range accessories). Both seem to come…
