Navman F20 vs TomTom One
I'd like opinions please, we'd like to get Sat Nav (after an interesting tou of Bradford yesterday!) and can't decide between the two in the subject. I have to admit from reading a few reviews I'm leaning towards the Navman, but is the TomTom worth spending the extra £50? Just out of interest would anyone be able to tell…

Selling car without MOT
I've decided that I can do without the car (although I appear to have some kind of weird emotional attachment to it and am feeling sad!) and its been sitting unused since its MOT certificate expired at the end of March (needs new rear shock and new rear brake pipe to pass). Apart from that it's been a reliable car,…

Mondeo Coolant Change
I am going to have to do this. It was due last year, and I thought that I would find some place doing it as a "loss leader" before last winter, but I didn't. The problem is that, if I do it outside the house, all the old coolant will drain straight into the garage (which is full of rubbish, not car!). Finding a place to do…

replacing petrol tank!
Is it worth it? It's an early model Fiat Cinquecento with 80k+ on the clock, only minor issues really, it went through the MOT in January with just having to have some work done on the front brakes - New pads & discs. Otherwise it's in fine working order and gives no trouble and great economic motoring. Am surprised the…
