Should I be worried about run flat tyres on my BMW?
I am buying a BMW 318d with run flat tyres and no room for a spare. The wheels are 18-inch alloy and the are low profile tyres. I'm nervous of getting a puncture while on the way to work and being stranded, then being charged a fortune to replace the tyre by a mobile tyre replacement company. I feel like replacing the run-flats with regular tyres and throwing a spare into the normal boot space. I do about 20,000 kilometres per year. What do you think?

Can you find me a fun, but smart buy for under €15,000?
I'm looking at buying a used car at the moment. I'm trying to be smart considering fuel prices etc, but still want to enjoy driving. I've beem looking at BMW X5s, Volkswagen Touaregs and Audi A8s. I'd like a car that is a good all rounder in terms of comfort, style and on the off chance it snows I wont be stuck!
Any advice welcome. (Feel free to advise me to get an M5... please!)
Thanks

What's the Nissan Patrol like?
Hi, I am considering purchasing a 2004 Nissan GR Patrol passenger vehicle privately. It has 110,000 miles (177,000km) on the clock and I am getting bad reports on this type of vehicle regarding overheating and cyclinder head problems etc, but at the same time I'm aware that it is the vehicle of choice with United Nations and Irish Army etc, although I do see the Irish Army has changed to Mitsubishi Pajeros. What do you think?

Does the Nissan Almera burn oil?
Hi, I have a 2007 Nissan Almera 1.5-litre petrol. I just wanted to enquire whether it was unusual for these Almeras to have high engine oil consumption.
Many thanks
