    HELP! Best car choice

    Thanks Slim, I had the same problems with the golf, a friend kindly let me borrow theirs at the weekemd so I got a proper drive in it, loved it but my long legs were totally cramped, it's looking like qashqai is going to win. Have to let the garage know by tomorrow so it's decision time!!!

    HELP! Best car choice

    Paddybloggit I'm between a 2015 qashqai or 2016 golf. Loved both, loved the height in the qashqai and it was really high spec and decent price. I think I'm leaning towards the qashqai but is it a mammy wagon??!!! You can give me an honest answer, I won't mind ;):p What's your thoughts on both?

    Implications of buying from parents

    Just wondering if anyone knows are there any implications to buying an apartment from my parents. For example, if they are selling to me at a reduced price is that considered a gift/inheritance and therefore subject to tax? Thanks in advance!

    Faulty wheel on bike-no refund offered

    Thank you cjh, that link is excellent. It states very clearly on that website that the consumer's contract is with the retailer and not the manufacturer. The shop manager was adamant today that he could do nothing, I will have to go back tomorrow and try again. Thanks again.
