I am a bit confused as to which petrol engines are OK with the new edition of E10 fuel. Is a 64 Reg Citigo OK, or are the fuel pipes likely to disintegrate. I did have a fuel pipe do so on a microlight I owned some years ago, but that was from using unleaded fuel with a tube designed for leaded. Thanks.

Please, no more! Topic now closed, thanks for all the comments.

Thanks, but the Smart has a terrible review record, & anyway is now only available as an electric car, & they are not green in my opinion, just expensive.

Thanks for all the replies. I really think I shall need to get a small SUV where i get to climb into it, & out, rather than putting a leg out first, then finding nothing to hold on to for support while the other leg gets out. A Smart would be very backward step I think. Best wishes.

Snaefell, Thanks for the advice. There is so much speculation about cam belts, it difficult to decide which is the definitive version. I shall probably just trade it in if I can find a new car which I can get into, & out of more easily with an arthritic knee. Not to mention sit more comfortably too, needs to be a small SUV type with sit up seating position. Best wishes.

Hi, I have an Elegance with ASG box & find it does tend to run down drive if insufficient welly is applied. Hand brake OK, but my wife assists with a block of wood under front wheel! Once under way the ASG is fine, esp if you keep applying welly as it goes thro the gears.

Thanks for all the advice, very helpful. WBAC suggest c£5000, but I think that deserves a large pinch of salt.

Help please. I am thinking of trading-in my 64 Elegance 75 with the auto box; one non-smoking owner/driver (wife does not drive); fewer than 12,000 miles. Would probably enjoy a new cam belt, & perhaps new battery, & tyres for MOT in October. Any suggestions as to trade-in value?
