    am planning to buy a used Mazda mx5 1.6 as my first car!is it too much for a new driver?

    Get an insurance quote before you buy the car. Unless you have very deep pockets it is not a good idea. There are hundreds of quick small cars about. You need to build up your driving history to get a reasonable quote for any sports car. Start with a small car as that will still count as driving...

    Which is a better first car?

    The 106 is the better bet. The car is well proven and reliable, especially the engine. I also think you will have a greater choice as the 106 was the most popular. It is an easy car to work on and spares are cheap and plentiful. Try to get one with full service history if you can as it is likely...

    Ten years old plus a valid mot and it's fine. Nowhere has a date been mentioned, only ten years. Ends at the end of September. Where do these people get there info from??

    ok please dont judge me i need advice?

    My advice is to use your own judgement (and a condom next time). Only you have the information to make a decision. All you will get on this site, or any other is a lot of waffle. It's too serious a subject for that.

    How high to build garden shed (UK). Neighbour says mine is too high 7ft 6...

    I think boy boy is probably right. Ask your neighbour if he would be kind enough to reveal the source of his information. I think he's talking out of his ar*e.

    Ford Focus 2001 TDDI - Uncomfortable vibration in 5th gear when accelerating.?

    I think you have already identified it. If it only occurs in 5th gear it must be the gearbox. I would imagine that the bearings on that gear shaft are shot. What else can it be? If it were suspension, steering, or tyres and wheels you would be able to replicate it in 4th gear. Got to the the 'box.

    Very touching. How about a poem for the guys dying in Afghanistan? Jacko was just an entertainer, no more than that.

    does my neighbour have any right to come in my garden to paint the fence dividing...

    If in the UK, no. He has to ask your permission, which you are quite entitled to decline if you so choose. If he 'threatens' to see a solicitor it is no concern of yours. He will just be wasting his own money, if true. If he comes onto your property without permission, despite you warning him he...

    Removing gloss paint from window ledge?

    Just scrape off the loose paint and use a good masonry paint. You only need stabiliser if the substrate is powdery, which I doubt your concrete cills are. Dulux Weathershield is what I would use. Not cheap, but it will stay put for a very long time.

    Car whining noise when driving in 2nd and 3rd!?

    JG is probably right. The fact that it happens only in those gears points to gearbox bearings on the way out. Mind you it may soldier on for a long time. If you want to keep the car and save replacing the 'box, I would replace the gearbox oil with the best you can buy, probably fully synthetic...

    corsa lacking power, emmisions light flashing?

    You could spend a lot of time and money trying to locate a fault like this that a dealer will find in 5 minutes. Ask for an investigation. You can then replace the faulty part(s) yourself if practicable, or get the dealer to do it.

    Brilliant white matt emulsion on the ceiling. Shades of white (apple white etc) on the walls. All DIY stores have colour charts.

    which oil is best to use on my bicycle chain?

    Until you can get chain oil from a bike shop any oil will do! I would use ordinary motor oil. WD 40 is a bit thin for chain. Motor oil will protect in the interim.
