How will I replace my written off BMW 5 Series?
My car is deemed a write off. Open market selling preice, as per revenue, will not replace my car, like-for-like. It's a 2008 BMW 520d M Sport with 98,000 miles on the clock, leather interior, carbon black.

Thank you.

How reliable should a 2010 Volvo S80 be?
We are looking at a 2010 Volvo S80 with 80,000 miles on the clock - it's a 1.6 diesel. What should we look out for when buying it? Are the turbo and particle filter likely to give trouble at this stage or does it have a good reputation? Would this car have a good reputation all round?

Diesel or petrol for a new Nissan Qashqai?
Which would you recommend, the 1.2 petrol or the 1.5 diesel in the new Nissan Qashqai? I do about 12,000km or less per year and mainly short trips and city driving.

What hatchback should I buy and should I stick with a petrol car?
Looking to upgrade my trusty 2000 petrol Toyota Corolla Liftback. I am considering the new model Toyota Auris or Hyundai i30 or a similar hatchback. My annual mileage is 10,000 miles with mostly short runs ranging in distances of between less than 10 miles and 2 miles urban and town driving with longer spins at the weekend. Which engine type should I go for? Also considering that at weekends I will be carrying two adults and two teenagers.
