That £800 could be the missing piece to make it all come together.

Re: The news is usually bad.
After 22k miles and three years of use, my plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) has only experienced one problem: a malfunctioning exhaust O2 sensor.

External sill damage
I am having problems locating a supplier of a replacement outer sill for my 2013 Kia Soul, which is damaged.

Impressive 520i shoutout!

Wow, those who own cars for an extended period of time (five years or more) are in a world of hurt.

Swapping W213 diesel for S213 petrol. Is that a bad plan?
Hey there, everyone!
Since I mostly drive around town, I'm thinking of trading in my W213 E220D saloon for an S213 E200 2L petrol.
This mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV; Mercedes calls it power EQ) is a 2022 model with 35,000 miles on the odometer.
Anyone ever had trouble with an MHEV? The ...
