Just noticed on 'What Car' the Honda Jazz automatic is CVT, didn't think that was so good

Thanks guys. A Honda Jazz it is then.

Thankyou Burnerman, a great help appreciate you getting back. Is it possible to tell me roughly how many miles I am likely to get out of an automatic before replacement is likely, compared to a manual, considering I do little motorway driving now it is mostly urban? <What car have Ford...

It may be necessary for me change from a manual to an automatic transmission car in the near future. What should I be looking for with the automatic transmission? I know petrol consumption and CO2 output are higher; but is it also true that: They have to be serviced more often and this...

I got in touch with my local council and the Warm Front Team, eventually spoke to an insulation company who assured me they would do a survey including; checking for any damp, would use an endoscope to check wall cavities are not compromised and vertical damp proofing has been installed around...

Yes, most people seem to be happy with the results, and the side of my house with outside walls is significantly colder than the rest. I have heard though of people with walls exposed to the elements or with dodgy pointing having damp problems eventually, and once the insulation gets wet...

npower are offering grants for cavity wall and loft insulation. £149 each for all property types. Only contacted them yesterday and 24 hours later I am telephoned by a guy who, after a couple of questions like what size property (three bed semi) and do I have a conservatory (no) just asks if...

Thanks noseall, that would make sense we had a lot of rain now we are in a cold dry period. I think the white deposits eeking out from the join where the motor meets the brick is lime because that doesn't disappear when dampened would I be right? I removed this with sandpaper because the...

I had a brick retaining wall built in my garden in September. I noticed today white deposits on the face of some bricks and it appears to be seeping from some of the motor joints in others. The powder on the face of the bricks disapears when dampened. How do I find out if this is...

I will be looking at the magnaclean for sure. thanks all

I have a lawn that has served me very well for many many years but is looking very dire at the moment, it has been taken for granted... just feed and weed a few times in the summer and regular cutting. It is growing very slowly, quite thin yellow patches and I have a problem with moss on the...

I have a gravity fed boiler 9 years old although the radiators and pipe work are considerably older than that. Some time ago I had to have the system drained twice for work to be carried out and a cleaner was put in the system, but not flushed through, first time this has been done for some...

Desperately need new drive. Have old patched and cracked concrete. Can anybody advise please Ashphalt how long before it needs major maintainance? Patterned concrete looks good but needs resealing every year, and is there a way of getting round the fact that it is very slippery? My...

Haven't been in touch with the electrician yet but I remembered after posting my query that before he left I asked him to show me how to remove the cover off my bathroom lights because I needed to clean out the trapped insects. He said some rubber seals that should have been fitted hadn't...

OK will do

I have just had some rewiring done to a ring main and an RCD fitted, got up the next morning to nothing but lights although only my freezer had been running all night and it wasn't that. The electrician suggested the sensor on my outside light tripped the RCD when it rained...... so that is...

I have a mini skip on my drive right now £50 around here. my son paid £50 3 weeks ago with a different company. Just ring when you have finished they told me.

This guy removed a very dated stone 'feature' in my living room, filled the skip, cleaned up no problem. When it came to the electrical work he said he could do.......muppet. Just basic stuff like adding an extra socket and extending and trunking up some cable that had been left hanging...

OK will do that, thanks for your help.

I did say double socket initially......didn't edit that bit.
