Just trying to get my head around this new car tax. I have a Citroen Synergie registered on 19/3/2001. My current tax (due 30/6/08) is £170 for 12 months.

Has my ex-demo car been in an accident?
Does anyone know if there is a (cheap/free) way to find this out ? I bought a car from the local Citroen dealer recently and it just doesn't seem quite right!!!

Problem with my Ford Focus Sport

It sometimes won't let me put it into park - if I cannot get it into park I cannot take the keys out, since that is the way automatics work. The garage can't find anything wrong with it Say that it has to have the fault…

Discrepancy between AA (Glass's) & Wisebuyer Valuations
