    I think owning and running a car into a high mileage, versus buying a high mileage car are two different things.

    Could be the torque convertor locking (which is perfectly normal).
  3. Spock66
    Yes, definitely 100% theft proof.
  4. Spock66
    It does apply to repairs too, on the basis that not all MOT Centres undertake repairs.
  5. Spock66
    Driving to a pre-booked appointment for a repair or MOT is permitted.

    I hope it's in great condition, but also cheap.....

    Also review any mileage limits, voluntary excess, usage, job title, additional drivers etc which can all make a difference in premiums.

    So you could say that if one species of mammal that is currently dominant becomes extinct in the next 100 years or so, it's kind of irrelevant in the grand scheme of the Earth's history.

    Now a Lexus owner for 2-years, so not getting one sooner! Selling Mk2 Golf GTi.

    Should be fine, the engine will stop and start to charge the hybrid battery as required. I'd suggest turning off the aircon as that will be the main drain on the hybrid battery when stationary.

    They came from Europe so used to left hand drive cars 🙂
  12. Spock66
    Yes that's correct, or 6-years whichever comes first.
  13. Spock66
    Certainly worth it if you needed the hybrid battery replaced. Does seem strange though as I would have thought the same technology is used in Toyota Prius etc.
  14. Spock66
    I assume lights are not covered by Relax?

    It's a good point, plus will need to accommodate 2-3 times the volumes of cars, which at peak times can be pretty congested already. I would only ever fill up with £10 max at a motorway service station anyway given their extortionate fuel prices.

    Personally I like the red, but I think you need to see it before making a final decision.
  17. Spock66
    HID / Xenon bulbs do degrade over time so may be worth replacing them.

    Personally I use Supermarket E5 most of the time, I think most fuels will have some forms of additive. Unless you test run an engine with a known fuel for many thousands of miles and then strip it down for inspection it's very difficult to predict what impact different fuels may have.

    The hare and the tortoise 🙂 I do wonder if we will see increased accidents with the roll out of electric cars, as many drivers may not be sufficiently experienced with this level of acceleration or accidents from people just pressing the throttle too hard or inadvertently.

    I think the option to keep the RX will be hard to beat.
  21. Spock66
    That's already happened as the tax was introduced in 2017, VED rates have increased each year, but not the £40k threshold.
  22. Spock66
    The RXL must have been the Takumi, only the F Sport and Takumi have AVS.
  23. Spock66
    An oil change may help.
  24. Spock66
    I hope that works out well for you, whether you keep the RX or not.
  25. Spock66
    If you need to pay the rent / food then fine, otherwise how will you utilise any savings made? The additional VED is not a huge sum of money in the grand scheme of things and will expire at some point (mine just has).
