    One Chem

    Well as you've bought it why not give it a try and post on here whether or not you like it? I've always fancied trying it, it sounds good, but I've never seen it on sale in any of the caravan places I've been to. I had a bottle of "The Blue Stuff." Absolutely useless, did'nt deal with the...

    Raskelf memory foam mattress toppers: any good?

    Thinking of buying 2 single ones for our Swift. We use the settees as 2 singles. Does anyone use them, if so which quality. AND does anyone know of a cheaper source. Thanks

    VW Tiguan: do you own one?

    Really fancy one but can any owner kindly tell me what mpg you really get? VW quote combined 39 mpg but so do Nissan for the X Trail and I only got 30 with that. (Old model, 2.2 DCi) Thanks

    Broad Lanes Daventry rescues me after v.a.t. mix up!!!

    The VAT rate chargeable is the rate prevailing on the tax point date. I ordered a Swift from Discover: when i asked if I would benefit from the new rate they said "of course, we'll just do a new nvoice dated for when you pick it up." There was a small discrepancy in the final amount. It...

    Al that counts is the price to change. As for selling privately..............good luck. Very hard, most buyers will want to part ex.

    honest john slags Mondeo TDCi 130 & X Trail diesel

    I think he's very strange. I have a diesel X Trail and I swear by it, done 21000 miles without a hiccup and it's an excellent tut. There was a re-call for a problem with a sensor for the engine management system but it was a free quick fix. I wonder if he realises it now has the Renault...

    Terrano v Discovery

    I had a Terrano for a year, bought it new (mug) and thought it was the most horrible agricultural thing on wheels. Clanking suspension, bad ride, thirsty engine and it depreciated like falling girders. Mind, at least it was reliable which the Disco probably isn't. If you go for it buy it...

    Nisan Navarra: any good as towcar?

    Thanks, but it sounds as though that is the old (horrid) model you are referring to. I know the new one is a lot nicer but hope to hear from someone using one.

    Bailey or Sprite?

    Baileys are really well built and the other is made by Swift. I'd go Bailey every time!

    Citroen Berlingo 2,0 Hdi

    I'm a CL fan. My solution was four wheel drive.

    Nisan Navarra: any good as towcar?

    Presently using an X Trail (brill apart from reversing the van uphill which means slipping the clutch) but looking at a bigger van. Does anyone tow with a Navarra? I'd value your opinions.

    Citroen Berlingo 2,0 Hdi

    I towed with a Berlingo: it was useless. Having the HDi engine will help (mine was 1.9D) but the real problem was with a van on the front wheels couldn't get a grip on damp grass: as though all the weight was off them. BTW the Multispace is pretty horrid to love with esp the sliding door.
