Either the 65 or 80 really. Both seem to have good points about them.

Hi. What are your thoughts and experiences with this version? I have been looking at one, since miles per gallon are pretty decent and tax is also cheap. If it's looked after what sort of mileage would you expect? Any comments in regards to these are welcome.

Easiest was probably the wrong term, which would be most suitable?

Currently on my car are two each of the following: 225 40 ZR 18 255 35 ZR 18 I have found a couple of sets of tyres with the following, which would be the easiest to replace? 235 55 18 245 35 18 Alternatively I can get the mixed set: 245 35 18 245 40 18

The car was registered in 1995 on a N reg plate, hence why the plate is what it is. If you wanted a plate like those that you displayed in your link, sure it would be personalised, but it wasn't personalised when it came out.

It's N100 ORG. He described it as looking at it as N 1000 RG, I personally just think of it as Nioooooooooooooorg. It's a weird sound really. Just seems weird to me that a standard plate could be worth £400?

So I was driving home yesterday, and a guy in a black BMW pulled alongside me and put his window down, long story cut short, he used to own my car about 9 years ago before selling it to his mate Jason, who then sold it to the guy I bought it from. He told me to get a valuation on the number...

I have bumper trim that has faded into a dull grey colour, and I want to spray it so it looks clean and fresh. It has the dreaded pimple feel to the material. So a quick question, if I sprayed it over in black, would this be ok, or would it need to go through the works of sanding, prepping...

Cheers. Thats what is happening at the moment, but I'll have to wait until the morning, go to BMW for the bleed screw and take it to my local mechanic. As much as I'd love to save money and give it a go myself, I'm useless with these things.

Cheers mate. Is it a simple case of buying a new one, bleed the system and fitting it in the process and alls ok?

The highlighted red part has broken. I had the car MOT'd Saturday and when they did the emissions test, they had problems with it. They let it cool down, and refilled it. Since then it was fine. But since picking it up after dropping the car back in today, it's been spitting/overheating. The...

Last week I had to put new power steering fluid in as it was low, the sound went when I turned the wheel. Yesterday, when I had a full car, the noise of the steering was terrible, but went when there was only two of us in there. Could this be a steering issue, or a problem with the suspension?

If they do write it off, surely you can state the work you've just had done to the car and say that you fully expect the replacement car to have the same work done?

Is that not s**t on the bonnet?

You're covered by insurance to park anywhere, but in the instance of staying home, you've declared where you park it, so that confuses me.
