Will 195 65 R15 tyres fit a Fiesta Silver?
Hi All, We have been advised to replace wheels and tyres on our Fiesta Silver in the near future. A friend has seen a good deal on 4 wheels/tyres that he is sure will fit on ebay with local pick up. They are 195 65 r15. They also say PCD100/108 6.5J X 15H2 on them. We thought we needed 195 45 r16 but have no experience…

Car Tax Help!!!
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with some advice. I bought an HPI clear used car about 5 months ago, but the seller failed to send off the V5c document. This I realised, when I checked the tax disc expiry, which has been paid for 6 months. I filled in the relevant V62 ownership transfer document and took it to the DVLA…

Car pull to left?
Only recently noticed this on my 2001 A class... Seems to pull ever so slightly to the left. Nothing major - just seems easier to turn left than right. Also, if I'm turning on a long sweeping left I can point the car and the wheel will stay as it is and maintain the turn. Not so for right. Checked tyres pressures etc. Any…

Nervous driver - best car, new/old etc.
I passed my test at the age of 36, and am a nervous driver. It took me ages to pass (ahem - won't say how many times) and when I did pass, the examiner wasn't very nice to me. My confidence is very low. Having said that, I actually think (and this is what my instructor said, and other people who have driven with me) that…

Does this sound legit?
I have my car up for sale - asking £2195. I'm out of the country at the moment but my Dad selling it for me. Guy calls and offers £1950 on condition I accept his offer before he sees the car. I have sold cars before but never had this. Seems a bit odd that someone would offer without seeing it first. My mind started…

V5C not in owners name
The registered keeper is not always the owner of the vehicle, i am aware of this. We have found a car for sale, the car is at the address of the registered keeper though the registered keeper is not around. We suspect the car was being "fronted" to keep insurance costs down. The seller is a relative of the registered…

Licence for driving in France
I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "no", but I thought I'd ask just in case... My partner is from Argentina and also has Italian nationality. She has an Argentine driving licence, and has lived in the UK for over a year so cannot drive on that licence any longer. Of course, when she goes outside the UK she can hire a…

How to use car allowance?
Hello I've been offered a new job with a £5025 car allowance. I think after tax, NI and student loan, this wont equate to much. That takes salary to over £40k so I think it will be subject to 40% tax? I have had a company car for over 6.5 years (4.5 in current job and over 2 in previous) since I graduated. My company can…

Hello moneysavers! A little dilemma, I'm soon to be debt free (September) and my goal is to buy a house. I'm 28 and on a good wage, I think it's about time.
