Any good car deals?

Sorry Paul, I'm asking because I'm interested in changing my car. I've been told to avoid brokers, but if I have to go through one, always pay cash to the dealer and never pay a deposit. They also seem to have a habit of keeping the V5C.

I would recommend https://www.broadspeed.com then. They merely put you in touch with the main dealer who will supply the car at that price.

Also, pay any deposit required by credit card as this gives you a decent level protection

On that Juke, broadspeed looks to be 20% more expensive.

floating flywheel failure,

I guess you mean the DMF (dual mass free wheel) which are a disaster area if fitted. Older diesels don't have them

One way to avoid this is to get a diesel with automatic gearbox

Sorry to correct your correction, but its Dual Mass Flywheel.

With the vauxhall 1.9CDTI engine in particular, i've had people ring me and ask me 'has the flywheel been changed?' when i'm selling a car with that engine, in the same matter-of-fact way as they ask about the timing belt.

Its almost being seen as a serviceable item!!
