We started looking for a second hand car a couple of months ago after we experienced issues with our current car (long story!).

petrolprices.com not fit for purpose
What's the point of this website if it doesn't tell me the cheapest petrol in my area? It claims that the cheapest near me is 133.9 but the Asda near by is 132.7 & it's not even on? I put the search up to 10 & 15 miles & the other Asda automats come on apart from my local one?! I've complained & they've said they can't get…

Car sounds like a boy racer!
My little punto is making an awful sound from the exhaust. The same thing happened about 4 years ago, I think they said the back box had gone. The guys at the garage where laughing at me, saying that some boy racers pay for their car to sound this way. Does anyone have an idea of how much this will cost to fix and also…

Downsizing from people carrier
We are thinking about getting rid of our Peugeot 807 people carrier and getting a Mondeo instead. The 807 has had lots of problems and cost a lot to keep on the road, and we've got to the stage where we just don't trust it anymore. We have 3 teenage sons, so the space of the 7 seater has been great, but we are thinking…
