    What broken components are these?(2005 Polo Comfortline)

    Hi guys So my car has been making a very obscure sound on start up that I could not pinpoint for a few days, then a rattling sound started coming from the drive belt. I started it yesterday morning and heard the same sound, a few seconds after opening the bonnet I saw something really tiny...

    Is Private Banking for a young professional worth it?

    As I said in my experience I've found that's not the case when trying to apply and iniatiate any service because the app related and online processes don't work like they advertise them, but seeing as bankers aren't apparently useful I'll just have to sit in the branch to initiate any product I...

    Is Private Banking for a young professional worth it?

    How much mileage is too much on a 2nd hand car?

    Hi Guys I wanted to know what's the sort of rule of thumb in terms of mileage on a 2nd hand car, the point where you should pay a little more for a little less mileage. I know some brands only get going at 150k but for someone who's going to be averaging 20 000km p.a in most likely heavy...

    Ideal reliable first car

    Ideal reliable first car

    The car is 13 years old now so larger components seem to be periodically needing replacement The budget is 140k max. The polo I'm driving isn't mine and I'll prefer giving it back to the owner when I start work. In the last 3 years it's had in excess of 70k worth of repairs ranging from engine...
