Anything I can do about my noisy Corsa?
I have a 2005 Opel Corsa and it is very loud some times - it sounds like a tractor! I had it checked it out and there is nothing wrong, but the noise bugs me.
Any suggestions?

What small automatic to replace my Volvo S40?
We are trying to sell our Volvo S40 1.8 flex fuel purchased in 2009 and road tax paid until May 2012. It is good as new with only 37,000km on the clock and we are trying to get an automatic small car instead. How much do you think is a fair garage offer as it's a hassle to sell privately, and what's a good small automatic car?

Which 2011 car to keep for 4-5 years?
Hi guys,
I have it down to two cars; both are 2011 fleet return cars with about 10,000km on them. A VW Passat 1.6D Comfortline or a Toyota Avensis 2.0D Aura/Strata. I hope to keep this car for four to five years. Your advice would be much appreciated.

Which car to replace my BMW 320d M Sport?
I have a BMW 320d Coupé M Sport model. I'm selling it and I hope to get around €25,000 for it. I don't get to drive it anymore. The missus drives it to work midweek and I only get it at the weekend. She wants something more practical. I want something practical with a bit of class to it. Any suggestions?

Would a petrol Mazda6 be a good buy?
Hi,
Due to an economical write-off I'm being forced into a car change. Moving from a solid 1.8 Opel Vectra Comfort (Petrol)2003. My budget is €10k plus pre-accident value, approx €2.5 - 3K. Took a Mazda6 2.0 Diesel Exec. 2008 for a test drive and really like it. The mileage is high and I've been reading of a lot of problems with the engine in general. Not doing a lot of mileage these days so would consider a Petrol. Given the low value of Petrol cars at the moment and the problems with Diesel version, would a Mazda6 1.8 Petrol be a good buy?

Why does my low coolant light keep coming on?
The low coolant warning light is coming on in my Mazda RX-8 when driving over 120km/h. Coolant level and oil are ok. Any idea what's causing this? The light goes off again after a few minutes.
