Buying a car when the seller is not the owner
I've seen a car I'm interested in buying, the seller is acting on behalf of the owner. How do I verify their story and protect myself in the event of buying the car?

Car Service History
Hi All, I have a car that's quite old (2007) but has done only 23,000 miles. The service interval is something like 20,000 miles/2 years!

Exhaust Q: volume of having a straight through pipe

Earlier in the year the downpipe badly rusted so i just replaced it with a standard pipe - no stainless. Anyway i've sprang another hole - this time where the centre pipe connects to the backbox pipe work. It's on the centre…

Send in the Clowns....
Finally seen that Audi advert, the one where at the start the Audi reverses blind out of a garage into the path of a car full of clowns (I suppose the Nuns were at Church). It appears Audis are now fitted with a device that makes them stop when reversing out blind before they block your path- fantastic!!! I hope that it is…
