Economical Runabout
Hi all I'm sure I've missed this somewhere on the forum but I've been hunting for a while now and can't find it. I'm looking for, as the title suggests, something to get me from A to B without costing the earth in fuel.

Acceleration problems
I may as well get the joke aspect out the way to start with, and state the car is a Micra, which is probably what the problem is. But on the more serious note, last few times I've driven, I've noticed it seems to take a while to get up to a decent speed on the motorway. Never had this problem before, so I'm wondering what…

Why wont my boot open? Zafira 06
I have a Zafira (06) and over the last few weeks my boot has intermittently been refusing to open. Today, however, the boot is staying shut. There is no keyhole as it works on a sensor. Really dont want to take it to a dealership if its something I can fix myself. I thought it might be the fuse but there isnt a seperate…

Park & ride tube station for inner London
I'm travelling to London from Plymouth to see a concert at Hyde Park, always been up on the coach or train before but last time we had to wait overnight in the coach station for the coach the next morning, so we thought it would be easier (and cheaper!) to drive. Where would be the best tube station to park at. Ideally…

I paid £2.99 to get my code to one site but seemed to get locked out of he site. then I found another site that said it would cost £8.99 but then asked me for £25. My car radio is a Siemans VDO CDR 500 and the serial number is…

Broken sun visor & MOT question
Leant my car to my daughter and somehow she has mananged to break off the driver's sunvisor completely. It doesn't look easily fixable and also looks like it might be costly as she has totally broken the fitting in the roof. The car is booked in for its MOT next week so I haven't got much time to get it sorted - does…

Another used car thread
Hi, I've very good with computers but not so good with cars, and see them very much as an A to B necessity rather than loving the car for the fun of driving. I have been a named driver under my moms insurance for driving to university, in agreement with the insurer. The need has arisen to get my own car, getting a job so…

Buying a used car - silly questions sorry!
Morning, I'm looking at buying a used car possibly next week. Its up for £8000 and I'm hoping to get it for a couple of hundred less. Questions are how do I pay for it and drive it away there and then? Do I get a bank cheque for say £7500 and take some cash? Do I take him to the bank with me and transfer the money over to…

Car for intermittent use
I don't know if such a thing is possible, but I'm looking for a car to fit into a.... strange lifestyle. I work away from home, anything up to 2 months at a time. My last car died on me on such an occasion, but it was rather old. The odd flat battery I can deal with, but is there anything I can do to try to keep a car…
