Now I was hoping and expecting more like £150! :money: What should I reasonably be able to…

Anybody Here Commute into London From Stamford or St Neots?
I was just wondering how busy the trains were morning and evening and how much of a pain it is? I've heard that the FCC trains from St Neots can get rammed for the evening trip back from Kings X but wasn't sure if that info was out of date or not. Many thanks.

Suddenly VERY noisy engine....
I have a Skoda Felicia, 1.3, 1998/9. It has done approximately 73,000 miles. Today the engine suddenly started to sound very very loud - like a boyracer car almost.

Second Hand Car Adverts
I am in the market for a new (2nd hand) car and I have noticed in a couple of the specialist advertising papers adverts for quite new cars at very low prices - almost 50% less than market value.

Road Tax amount different
I've just received a Road Tax renewal a few days ago stating the renewal cost is £145. I decided I would renew online as that would be easier - now I find online the price is £150. :mad: not £145. I rang up the DVLA to query this and they eventually told me it has gone up in the budget, but the form would already have been…

Car Tax - is it high?
I drive an Audi TT 54 plate 1.8 and just renewed my tax. It was £215! I didnt realise that it was expensive compared to other cars until my partner who has just bought a 3 litre told me he is only paying £170 (or thereabouts).
