Hi all , joined on Facebook today and saw this site, so here I am . I have a 62 plate vx-line 2.0cdti. Had it for 18 months . Had an se 1.6 before and loved the car but was bored of it being gutless . So found this and loved every minute of owning her so far!

Hi, I thought you'd be interested in this even if your car insurance isn't due just yet but especially if it is! There's some bad news but there's also some relief at the end...

The bad news
According to an industry report last week, Comprehensive car insurance premiums are now at their highest levels since 2010.

The report reveals that the average premium rose to £847 during Q2 of 2017. That's an increase of £66 or 8.4% across the last quarter and £132 or 18.5% across the l

A couple of years ago my mechanic mentioned that if the DPF gets blocked it could be damaging . I was about to make 450mile trip south so , I decided to put some Forte DPF cleaner in the tank . A couple of days of town driving later and for the first time I got the DPF warning light on Continue Driving . After a few miles down the motorway , warning off. .
