Why is my check coolant alarm on?
The check coolant alarm in my Skoda Roomster is coming on almost every time I start my car - ever since I got it serviced and had the timing belt and water pump replaced. The coolant tank is full, even when I check it from stone cold. What would this be caused by?

I'd like a high up mid-size car that's reliable.
Hi, still trying to decide what type of midsize car to buy, one that is reliable, economical and good to drive and not too expensive, am looking at the 2010/11/12 range, average mileage. I like the height in a car, like the Kia Venga, but don't like it to drive. What do you think of the Dacia Sandero Stepway? Or any other suggestions would be appreciated.

How reliable is a new Renault (or Dacia), Fiat or even Citroen?
How reliable is a new Renault (or Dacia), Fiat or even Citroen?
Ok, not going to be many problems in first year or two, but I typically like to keep my cars for most of their life cycle, I feel I get most value for my investment that way. I know eight years ago (when I bought my last car) I was told stay away, as once a few years old all the electrical gremilins come out to play. I'm not brand loyal, in fact the more options I have the more likely I am to get a deal that suits me. But I do like trouble free motoring and currently drive a 2007 Toyota Avensis and it has never put a foot wrong.
Should I stick to the old reliables (i.e. Mazda, Toyota etc.) or are the new generation of Renault, Citroen and even Fix It Again Tony (Fiat) likely to be properly reliable over seven or more years? Also contemplating Kia (seven-year warranty sounds good to me).
Thanks for your time.
