How do I repair the mirrors in my Honda FR-V?
Hi, I have purchased a Honda FR-V. Annoyingly, neither electric wing mirror is functioning properly. One won't tilt side to side and the other up and down... Is it possible to just replace the motors? FR-V parts aren't abundant - would another Honda part do the trick? Don't want to relace the whole mirror if possible as very expensive!

Do I really need to spend this much on my Peugeot?
Hi, I have a 2000 reg Peugeot 206 1.4 and in the last few months whenever I put my indicators on they flash as hazards and sometimes they even like to come on by themselves. I am not an expert in cars but a garage recently told me that I needed a replacement electrical box (not sure of the technical term) and that it would cost around €550 for parts and labour. Not sure if that is necessary as I have read that it could just be the indicator stalk, but I am unsure. I don't really want to pay that much for a repair as my car isnt even worth that much money anymore. Any help or suggestions as to what this problem could be or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

What's wrong with my Ford Focus Estate?
I have a 2006 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi Estate. When the car goes it struggles up to 2000rpm and it seems as if the turbo is not kicking in. The car does not smoke; it just seems as if it has no turbo. Then when I leave it overnight it will turn over but won't start. I'm wondering whether to spend a lot on the car or part exchange it as it has done 143,000 miles.

Is it possible to get a small hatch to fit bikes in for under €10,000?
If you had up to €10k to spend on a hatchback with low running costs (small diesel ideally) with enough room for a couple of bikes in the back, what would you spend your money on?

How much is my Toyota Corolla Luna worth?
How much is my 2006 Toyota Corolla 1.4 Luna worth? Alloy wheels, 89,000km, one lady owner, NCT 3/16. Recently serviced. New battery. Maintained and serviced all along by Toyota garage. Thinking of downsizing as I just retired and will be doing very little mileage from now on.
