A question about : Car Tyres

I normally buy the cheapest budget tyres I can for my car. Thats because I normally end up getting a nail in them and I think its better to spend Ј40 rather than Ј80+.

What is the main difference between budget and branded tyres? ???

A question about : Cheaper Petrol

I was filling up my car the other day when it suddenly dawned on me that you can probably get petrol for cheaper.

You know when you finish putting petrol in and there's that last bit that usually dribbles onto the floor. Well there's about 50ml of the stuff I reckon. So what I've started doing is holding the handle down and letting go every litre. You must get a couple of litres free, or am I just being stupid.

Cheap I know but I'm sure I'm getting a bit of a saving.

A question about : New 5 Door car needed...Prefer Focus

Hi,

Can anyone help me. Last month a local garage were offering 5 door Old shape Focus 1.4 Cl for Ј7995 and Focus 1.6LX with aircon for Ј8495.

I thought as the new Focus would be out in Jan 2005, the price would fall or remain the same. I am now starting to look to replace my 3 door corsa with a Family sized 5 Door car and wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction for a decent deal on a new car.

Does anyone know what is expected to happen with Old shape Focus Prices?

A question about : Car servicing in France

Dear french car owners,
Does anyone know of any garages in Calais/Boulgne/Dunkerk or their vicinity where I could have my renault laguna serviced? I have had quotes in my locality from Ј6-800 for a 72k service (with a new cam belt fitted) and I'm sure I could get it done cheaper across the channel. Any help very greatly appreciated.

A question about : Buying "Imported" camper van?

Hi there,

I've been trying to find a camper van for a long time - needs to be an automatic and they seem to be thin on the ground! Anyway, I've seen one advertised which says it is a recent import from Japan but is fully registered and taxed paid etc. Is it risky to buy an import and could I end up having to pay taxes etc., if these haven't been properly paid? Any tips on what to watch out for or checks to make to ensure legalities have been complied with would be most appreciated!

Many thanks!

A question about : Our wonderful rail service!

It's just cr*p isn't it!

We have just booked a train journey from Paris to Rome, and returning from Florence to Paris including a 1st class 4 share couchette (sleeper car) for the grand total of Ј178 for two of us.

1,562 miles across three countries.

Doncaster to London is 348 miles and is Ј252.

Pathetic

I can't even find any discount codes to bring the price down
