Mine is or should I say was the same (I sold it today), from cold it was flat but once warmed up it was fine and one of the most reliable cars I have owned......

I'm going to be replacing my Avensis in the next 6 weeks, where do you recommend I sell it? Autotrader springs to mind but I can't stand tyre kickers...

I have had no trouble with my Toyota but I fancy going back to a Merc next time, and next time is April...

Really ? That's actually very good for a reasonably powered FWD car that isn't exactly light. I'm guessing those tyres are composed of quite a hard compound rubber or you're very light-footed :) I would say light footed, especially due to the cost of fuel nowadays...

Something is certainly wrong, I have had 35k off my 2 front tyres (Bridgestone REO50) and still some left..

Found this on the internet.... In Spain it was known to have an injector problem that caused the engines to stop or run slowly. In extreme cases it could cause permanent damage to the cylinder or piston. Dealers were known to change the injectors up to seven years after the purchase of the vehicle.[

Unfortunately the reason they increase your premium is 'because they can'!!Any other business that has had a poor year has to buckle down and find ways to increase productivity and therefor profits, the insurance companies seem to say they had a lot of cliams so they are forced to increase your premiums in order to maintain their margins!! all you can do is hunt around for the best deal and loyalty goes out of the window. Good hunting...
