I suppose the oil grade won't make any difference at this stage. I'd say this car was fairly well minded it's serviced in a BMW main dealer every 6 months and was owned by the his parents from one year old before they gave it too him. The biggest problem is...

No, this is the problem.

I know what you mean but I wouldn't say he abused the car. The biggest problem is when something did go wrong he didn't know what to do and ultimately made it worse. Some times it makes sense for parents to give there children their cars if the parents were buying new cars anyway. At least the parents know what the car is like there giving there child. Tbh if you ever need a decent car it's when your learning to drive as you are more Likely to crash it so you want something as safe as possible.

Useful that you can now tax your car online after the change of ownership has gone through. Was wondering when I would have had chance to go to tax office with Vic like had to do before!

The C5 is now a squeaky motor. The rear suspension trailing arm bearings are nearly shot I'd imagine. Uuugh. May turn up the radio so...

Aye, I'm thinking of leaving it. Or somehow modifying it so I can pack it full of grease. It's only squeaky and doesn't affect the ride and the tyres seem to be wearing evenly so the camber is grand too.

Today I looked at a 2004 C200K.

It was very nice but VERY expensive. Tomorrow I look at a Mazda6.

I had the hydraulic suspension fail on my C5 when I owned one. Twas rather a nightmare getting it to the garage, given that the garage was accessed via a road with speed bumps every 100 yards or so.

I had the misfortune to be on the M50 from the Longmile road exit this evening at 5pm.

Is it always mayhem or was that just bank holiday chaos?

I am searching for my very first car.

I am very excited and am currently looking at Opel Corsa's and Ford Fiesta's aged between 2003-2006, would I be correct in saying they are both excellent cars for a learner driver?

Also which website is the best to search?

Thank for the help!

It's always like that on a friday, total nightmare, and the issue of the car pile up outside the kill turnoff

That road just gets worse by the day, there wasn't a single day this week i didn't see a crash

Well it couldn't go to sounder people if they're from the same cloth as yourself.

Also, if you give one of them the car, wouldn't you not be driving so much? :P

I'd go for a Fiesta ahead of a Corsa.
Donedeal would be the main site people would search

It was fine once I got onto the M50, getting onto it was the issue. I stopped for a tasty and nutritious McDonalds however
