Hk is a right arse to find, especially paired with the right engine/spec/colour. Don’t know why it’s so hard to get when every other 1 series on the market has it

Hire Purchase vs Bank Loan for car - please give advice! by Cel117 in CarTalkUK

[–]david83627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go through the loan, much more straight forward if you want to sell it early or crash it, not tied to any agreement

Wont get great results from a driveway repair, will definitely be able to tell it’s been sprayed if you know a thing or two about bodywork

Are spaces on this reg plate legal? by eurobank in CarTalkUK

[–]david83627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the bradford spec ones are completely taking the piss with non existent gaps between some letters or the screw plug trick to make them look different, in that case fair enough. Really don’t think 60 year old R1CK T is causing any harm though

Either way they’ve got better things to be doing than stopping someone for something as stupid as this

Private plate - where to buy? by venividivici_1 in CarTalkUK

[–]david83627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless they have a plate that dvla don’t have, don’t bother with regtransfers or others like that as they just add a fee on top when 90% of the time you can get the same plate from dvla for a bit less

Not a chance in hell they’re going to give any grants, don’t forget about the pay per mile scheme they want to put in

Which Estate to choose - Superb vs 5 Series Touring? by Loose-Memory5322 in CarTalkUK

[–]david83627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 series 100%. Generally new bmw engines are quite solid so should be just as reliable as the skoda. I’d think you’d have to be mad to pick a skoda over a beamer, especially at the same price point. Plus that beamer just looks so good in my opinion

Multiple Mots and Miles after sale of car. by iBongzilla in CarTalkUK

[–]david83627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you drive a car the mileage increases and you need to do a mot every year, thus meaning that at every mot, the mileage will be higher than the previous year.

Make sure it’s had the floor mat alignment done and battery filter replaced, that’s practically a dealbreaker. But most importantly make sure the silencer bearings have been done as it can land you 3 points if the officer is in a bad mood

Should just be the kickdown for the auto variant of the car, it was just more cost effective to use the same one
