How much is my Renault Grand Scenic worth?
How much is my 2007 1.6 petrol 7 seater Renault Grand Scenic "Dynamique Luxe" worth ?, mileage is 65,000 km or 40,625 miles, NCT until May 2013, full service history. Does the extra features in the "Luxe" model make any difference - the main differences are climate contol, hands free locking system, and double sunroof.

Is my Citroen's clutch gone?
While driving my Citroen C4 1.6 HDi 110bhp last night at 100km/h in fifth the rev counter went max and I lost all power. The engine was still running fine but I rolled to a stand still unable to find a gear without it hitting max revs. The clutch pedal feels fine so I have no idea what is wrong. I can still start the car just won't go. Any help would be great,

What's wrong with the brakes on my Lexus?
I replaced the brake discs and pads of my 2001 Lexus GS 300 about 16 weeks ago. They were changed because the whole front end of the car vibrated violently while braking - including the steering wheel. After changing the discs and pads everything was ok, but now it's back the very same again please.
Help!

Should my brakes be sticking after having them replaced?
I just had my front brakes, rotors and calipers replaced and it now sounds like the brakes are sticking a little bit. Is that normal?

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.
