General Car Chat / Motability
« on: 17 February 2021, 19:56:50 »
Hi everyone.

I was thinking about getting a car on Motability which I am eligible for due to several health issues.

I'm not sure what to do though as there is so much choice. One possibilty would be to go for an all electric vehicle as I have space on my drive for the car and charger. My drive can hold 3 cars.

I obviously want to keep the costs down as I'm on a low income. I live in rural Cornwall now so do a lot of miles. Important points to note are:

*To get a charging point installed costs around £500 I think
*I have 2 old cars I could sell which might raise about £800
*Not many manufacturers install a charging point for free
*Running a non electric vehicle is expensive
*A motability car costs about £65 per week
*Many motability cars require an advance payment
*I'd prefer a large vehicle
*Many costs are covered by the weekly fee with a Motability car.

What should I do?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :y

Does the free 6 month extension to MOT's still apply if you sell your car?

General Car Chat / Saabs - What do you think?
« on: 05 March 2020, 20:35:57 »
I've been unable to find an Omega :(

I was looking for an alternative and came across a Saab estate on eBay.

Has anyone got an experience of Saabs? Are they any good?

You're thoughts would be so helpful. :y

General Car Chat / Mini needs a new clutch
« on: 03 February 2019, 18:56:57 »
Hi all.

My friends Mini needs a new clutch. Does anyone know if this is a big job and how much it's likely to cost? It's a 2002 Cooper model.

Many thanks.

Cars for Sale & wanted / Estate Wanted - Any considered

Hello all.

I'm looking for an estate again. Yes I know I've had lots of different cars but I'd like another Omega please.

Don't say 'Oh no not her again'. ;D

I've had my current estate car for nearly two years now so that's a long time for me.

I'm serious about buying and I've got the cash. :y

Thanks very much. :y

General Car Chat / Beetle EML
« on: 13 April 2018, 10:14:09 »
I've seen a Beetle for sale near me but the EML comes on intermittently. The price is £400.

Should I avoid buying this car?

Is this an MOT fail? I've heard that the rules are changing in May 2018 & that an illuminated EML light will be a fail?

Many thanks. :y

General Car Chat / Would a Saab 9-5 be a good Omega alternative?
« on: 08 April 2018, 20:37:01 »
I've seen a Saab 9-5 estate for sale near me. Would it be a good Omega alternative?

Can you think of a better alternative?

TIA. :y

General Car Chat / How many Omegas have you owned
« on: 06 April 2018, 16:30:25 »
I'm not sure if this has been discussed already but how many Omegas have you owned? Which was/is your favourite and why?

I've had 9. My favourite was a Silver MV6 because it seemed much quicker than the others I had and it had lovely black leather.

General Car Chat / Motability Car
« on: 29 March 2017, 19:22:50 »
Hi all.

I was talking with my next door who is disabled due to MS. He is thinking about getting a new car through the motability scheme but doesn't know if it's worth it or not. He'd like some recommendations about which car to go for or should he just buy a car privately?

He's uses a wheelchair and so does his wife occasionally. The car needs to be a decent size obviously.

Has anyone got any experience with the scheme. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi all.

I'm looking for an estate. Would prefer a large engine model if possible. I've got a diesel Renault Scenic which I'll be selling.

Thanks and Merry Christmas. :y

Cars for Sale & wanted / Omega 2.5 diesel estate manual
« on: 15 April 2016, 21:54:59 »
Would anyone be interested in having this omega and donating some money to me so that I can get another car? It's best use is for spares as sadly the rust has taken hold. It's cost me around £200 so I'd like to get some back if possible. I got the car for free off an oof member.

It's been through 2 mot's with strangely differing results.

General Car Chat / MOT Madness
« on: 13 April 2016, 14:42:28 »
Took my miggy for its MOT to halfords and it failed on 9 items. I fixed 5 of them myself and was planning on getting a garage to do the rest.

As the first test was a month ago I took the car to a different test station that was closer to home.

On the second MOT it failed on 16 items. :o :o :o

Some of the original fail items have magically fixed themselves. ::)

I'm really confused and peed off now as I don't know what to do.

Any suggestions?

Here are the fail sheets.
