Loads of problems with my Opel Astra...
Hi,
I have a 2006 Opel Astra 1.4 petrol. The management light is on and a mechanic said he thinks it's just an oxygen sensor, but recently my car has not been able to blow out hot air. The coolant seems to be gone, but it was only topped up recently and the engine is very hot after I drove it today and it sounded really loud when I turned on my air conditioning. Also, it is slightly vibrating and there is a whistling noise coming from the car.
Any help is welcome

Why won't my Skoda Octavia start?
My 2006 Skoda Octavia will not start. The key is not going to the ignition position and there are no initial start lights on dashboard. What's wrong?

What mileage to prevent DPF issues?
I have heard that low mileage on a diesel car can be bad for it. I have heard this can damage the DPF and other things. Many people think about the maximum mileage they consider to be ok when they purchase a used car. My question is this: take the popular BMW 520d for example. What is the minimum mileage I can consider as being ok on a 2010/2011 car?

BMW X3 or Audi Q5 - and which one?
Hi,
I would like to know which you think is better to buy of these two: a BMW X3 or an Audi Q5. I would also like to know if you think the BMW X3 18d is a better buy than the 20d version or do you think it's underpowered
Thanks.

Worth going for 2008 Renault Laguna?
We are thinking of buying a 2008 Renault Laguna 1.5 diesel; are they as good on fuel economy as they claim they are and would it be a good family car?
