    V-Power vs Supermarket

    Don't know about performance but i was having a conversation with my mechanic who advised me not to use supermarket fuel because it has been blamed on killing a few engines in the trade. Anybody else heard of this?

    Well I've done it !

    Talking about fuel got me thinking. Only last weekend a very knowledgeable friend of mine advised me that supermarket fuel was being blamed on the demise of some engines. Anyone heard of this? My friend have been in the car trade foe many years. BTW Brummie great choice of car enjoy it no...

    That tv advert for the Audi R8

    Yep seen that ad in the cinema about a month ago and of course the sound through their system was amazing. No true petrol head could watch that and not be moved...very clever ad.

    Option costs?

    Hi Developer, Thanks for digging out the info. I agree that the options will not affect the price too much but will make it easier to sell on. Of course you get the benefit of the options while you have the car. I do tend to keep my cars a long time if they fit the bill. Do you happen to know...

    Option costs?

    Hi Joecash, Its got 66000 miles on it and from a main dealer. They are asking 9k. which I thought was good in light of the spec. I have seen some private cars which were not much cheaper and not near as well optioned. Getting a indie to look at it also seems a good idea. PS Does anyone...

    E Class buying advice

    Thanks Guys, Yes had a Rover P63500S and wife ground me down to get rid and I did. Now got 3500 auto and will not make the same mistake. So 55 plate instead of 05 plate would roughly be the later V6? 2006 onward seems to make sense, is it obvious to a novice that its a facelift? Many...

    E Class buying advice

    I was looking to buy an S class but the wife has now said an S320 CDI is tooooo big so I have agreed an E class would be ok. This would be a second car so I not sure she will even drive it.
