    Thinking About A New Car

    I sell new cars for a living, and drive a Peugeot e208. I absolutely love it. But I live literally two miles from our showroom and plug it in every Monday to one of our dealerships chargers and it will easily last me until the following week. I retire in two years time. Would I buy an e208 for...

    Thinking About A New Car

    A rapid charger takes 30-35 minutes to put an 80% charge in. That's the maximum you can put in charging this way. How many of the current crop of EV's will do 210 miles in an 80% charge???

    Are We Being Tight?

    Started paying my Mum something as soon as I started work. Couldn't imagine it any other way. My first weekly wage was about £7.00 if I remember correctly. I think I used to give her £2.50.

    Reliable Second Hand Japanese Car

    Often overlooked, but a reliable small Japanese car is the Suzuki Swift. Not the best for interior trim quality etc. but those little Suzuki engines are bullet proof.

    Vauxhall Corsa 2015 - Full Tyre or Space Saver for Spare?

    Well done! I did this with my daughter recently. She purchased a Peugeot 108 and it had a dent on the inside of one of the alloy wheels that was deemed "dangerous" by the MOT tester. We found an almost new alloy wheel with a brand new tyre on it on the bay for the princely sum of £70.00. Put...

    Vauxhall Corsa 2015 - Full Tyre or Space Saver for Spare?

    If the wheel well is deep enough, a full sized spare no question. Additional weight over a spacesaver??? Negligible and wouldn't make one iota difference to the fuel consumption or handling. I'd go with a steel wheel if the stud pattern matches but you may well pick up a bargain on ebay for an...

    Installing coving??

    I appreciate that fitting the coving can be a bit of a pain, but I couldn't believe he's trying to charge me £150.00 for painting a few metres of coving!! No cutting in to do as the ceiling has just been painted, and I'm not looking for anything elaborate, just a single coat of matt vinyl...

    Cuprinol Ducksback Harvest Autumn v Ronseal 5Y Fence life

    I've used the Ducksback product twice now. The first time was a good few years ago on some garden sheds in Forest Green. It wasn't good to be honest. It didn't last very long before it started peeling and lifting. Looked really tatty. More recently I've used it in Autumn Gold. Much, much better...
