Toyota MMT
Hi My wife and I are considering buying a used Toyota Auris but it needs to be an automatic for my wife to drive. The Auris only comes with the multi-mode gearbox rather than full auto and I was wondering whether it can still be used the same as a normal automatic - i.e. can you just stick in in D and away you go?

Car Tax renew now at a cheaper price or not????
Hi everyone, Just wondering my car tax is due on 30th April and it will cost me £93.50 for 6 months. However I believe the new budget tax rates come in on the 1st May and from that date my car tax will be slightly cheaper at about £70 instead. I think that this is unfair as obviously I have to buy my tax before it runs out…

Sensible car suggestions for £4K ish.
After years of owning old but fun cars and spending quite a bit on parts to make them go round corners better I've decided that I'd like to own a sensible car for a bit. It all started when I bought the Golf Mk3 Estate 1.9 TDi for £450 and drove it for a while. I'm delighted by the 50ish mpg and have found it's alright for…

Reliable London MOTs/Skingles garage
Hi Don't know if anyone can help, but I used to use a brilliant garage in Hackney called Skingles, which only did MOTs, no repairs. The guys were brilliant and really knew their stuff, and were totally honest. Only went once a year, obviously, but it was great, even if they failed you! It's a sign of their quality that…
