My parents back in the day of living at home charged me £200 per month once i got out of education and into a full time job, this was for bed, breakfast/evening meal/heating/lighting. I then moved out and rented for a few years before looking to buy. Low and behold the money I had paid them...

If it has to be a Nissan Navara make sure its a 2015 onwards D23. The D40s had major chassis issue which are ok if caught in time and plated and treated. Alex

the older mercs have a habit of the battery dying and when charged/replaced the settings have restored to km rather than miles. Probably wasnt spotted and the mot tester will test as presented Alex

Honda used both Direct(psi) and Indirect(wheel speed) depending on the year of the CRV from memory. I bet that it is a indirect system due to no pressure on the dash. If they have fitted a new tyre to 1 side even if it is the same size/load/speed rating the rolling raduius will be different to...

Im going to guys the inside bead of the wheel has had the paint flake away and corrosion has built up, this will need to ben ground back using a wire wheel and then you apply the bead sealer around the rim, refit the tyre and should all be ok, no need for a full refurb. We call it a rim seal...

I bet It will be a combination of poor wheel alignment, bushes going soft and slight underinflation. Alex

how much is the repair vs buying a new car with potential problems? IE repair 1k but 3k to buy new unknown car? Alex

Toyota Auris/Corolla Alex

Im guessing blackcircles, they buy a large batch of tyres in one go, oldest we had come in was 4 years old on the date code where as from our normal suppliers they are normally 6 months old maximum. Alex

auris/prius/ct hybrid are cheap to run as long as decent maintaince has been done, sse plenty with 2-300k on the clock, not exciting to drive but they just work. factor in that you are buying somebody elses used car (a unknown quantity) vs already knowing issues of your current car. fuel...

@mjt no worries, no offence taken. I deal with tyres/wheels on a daily basis, yours are nowhere near some of the sights I see.. Alex

is it flagging up key not detected on the dash, if so there was a tsb for the Qashqai which invloved replacing the battery with a thicker than standard2032 key battery which was only available from Nissan. I bet the current key battery will have 3 little burn marks on it from the prongs, gently...

inner edge of your tyre also looks unevenly worn as well. this could indicate low tyre pressure, bad alignment, poor shocks/bushes. this could give a vibration if worn bad enough Alex

Subaru Outback? bit of a left field choice Alex
