That settles it then. I will walk to start with to build up a bit of fitness, then look for a decent bike. I felt like I was going backwards yesterday on my old bike, granted I only paid £15 for it second hand (the gears dont work properly and the chain fell off)

To be fair I did the 1.5 mile there and then straight back. God knows im not fit :D

The masses have spoken! Looks like I need to buy a new bike then, my supermarket special just wont cut it. I suppose it helps that most of the journey is on a dedicated cycle path :D

Ha Ha like it :D Trouble is I was being overtaken by kids on the bmx's as it was, any slower and I would fall off !

Its been a while since I posted on these old forums but I remember it was full of experienced folk so thought I would offer this up for some input :) Im about to start at my new job on Monday, its only 1.5 miles from my home. Ive always been a car lover but dont think my 2.2 Diesel Civic will...

They dont know that I have a spare wheel, didnt even look inside the car when they valued it. And heck they dont supply one either so its all fair lol. There is an under boot storage area where a space saver can be stored. I dont think the gunk is a permanent repair and wouldnt it make an...

Hey guys, I am part-exing my 2006 Mazda 3 1.6D for a 2006 Honda Civic 2.2 :D What I am wondering is will the space saver from the mazda fit the civic? Civics dont come with a spare, they give you a bottle of bodging gunk! Both the mazda and honda have 16" alloys fitted. From the...

I owned a 147 for two years, absoloutely loved the car but it was a vandal magnet ! :mad: I sold it and bought a Mazda... Long story short I want my Alfa back !! If anybody knows the whereabouts of GJ04 NWH please let me know !!

lol I doubt it No idea what im gonna do with it then if I cant scrap it for money lol The previous owner is a manager of a nearby pub and he just left it in the garden

On the same subject (sorry to butt in), ive just bought a house that the owner has left an aluminium beer keg in the garden. Is that worth much? Its about 2 foot high.

Well if it is a turbo I stand corrected. Ive always been told it wasnt a turbo diesel (by the Mazda salesman) who had it as his company car before I bought it. When I bought it there was only a 1.6 available now there are a new 1.6 and 2.0 engines I am dropping it in to the dealers...

No turbo on this car, ford wouldnt let them have one as it would compete with the focus

Im having a problem with my 2006 Mazda 3 Diesel 1.6, ive lost power in lower gears but fourth and fith seem fine. I have my suspicions as to whats wrong but want others opinions to confirm. A few days ago when pulling away from the lights I had a big clattering from under the car followed...

Can anyone help me find a place to buy some of those screws that you get when you buy car mats from a dealer, I dont know what there called and ive tried places like ebay and hellfrauds.... Basically im after some way to secure mats and stop them slipping forward. I had a screw system with...

That may be the case, time will tell. And if fortunes change for the better we may upgrade. But in the mean time its spot on for what we need. Like I said 6-10 years 6 being the aim. Less than a grand per years worth of car....

Its a second car for me and a little shopping trolley for the girlfriend. Theres no reason why the picanto wont last 10 years! Theres plenty of old Rover 100's still on the road of around 10 years of age so why wouldnt the picanto last having been built to a modernish spec and using modern...

Regarding the NCAP results: Well when you buy a small "small" car you dont expect it to perform aswell as a big saloon for example. It performs well enough for my liking. Its nearly as good as a Fiat Panda for adult occupants and it scored better for children !

Well for us it is as we plan to keep the car for as long as possible, we wont be replacing it in a year or two. Im talking more like 6 - 10 years. The peace of mind of knowing where its been and whats happened to it during its life is worth more to us. Its got nearly everything we want Plus...

Cheapest Panda with Aircon is £6000 unless you know cheaper ? The Fabia 2 is about 8k and no aircon :\
