Are the lights in the Toyota Auris weak?
Are the beams very short on dipped headlights in the 2008 Toyota Auris? I find it difficult to drive in country area at night. Should there be a certain wattage in dipped headlights?

How do I know the year a car was actually made?
How does one know if the new car you're buying is actually new to that year? I've heard there's a possibility the car could be from a year previous, but the dealer didn't register it (thus making a 2014 car sell as a 2015 car).
Thanks for your help

Why is my battery going flat?
Hello there. I bought myself a few months ago a 2005 Opel Astra 1.3 diesel six-gear manual model. Three times it has happened that the battery is flat and needed a help to start the car. Any ideas what can be the possible problem for that and solutions?

Is the Peugeot Partner a cheap to run van?
I would like to purchase a cheap run around van. I wouldn't be putting up 4,000km in a year. I saw a 2000 Peugeot Partner with 115,000km on the clock and was wondering if they give much trouble - electrical, engine, gearbox, bushes, doors, etc. and are parts pricey?
