Hold onto my Saab or change it?
I have a 2005 Saab 95 (2.0t) petrol automatic with about 136,000km on the clock. It just failed the NCT on emissions with "smoke". It is apparently a problem with the turbo (burning oil) and between that and a few other more routine issues it looks like about €1,200 to sort. The car seems to be running well otherwise, but I'm worried that there might be other issues around the corner.
That's the background - my question is, should I hold onto it and get it fixed or... bite the bullet and go for a change?

How economical is the petrol Opel Zafira?
I have been offered at a very good price a 2001 Opel Zafira: low mileage. very clean, engine looks and sounds good and very dry, i.e. no sign of oil. No NCT, thouhg assured that with two new back tyres and a back window wiper it will pass.
My question is, how are these cars on petrol?

2007 BMW 520d or 2008 320d Coupe?
Hi,
I'm planning to purchase either a 2007 BMW 520d M Sport automatic (M47 engine) or a 2008 BMW 320d Coupe automatic (N47 engine). I've heard the N47 engine is prone to timing chain issues. Does that only occur when it reaches high mileage? Or overall is the 520d a much better car because I just need some pros and cons before I buy either one.
Sandra.
