I'm probably old school and I still like standing beside the car before spending that sort of money. Online buying always feels strange to me even if there's a guarantee attached

Bought a 2020 Seat Ateca from Loughshore Logistics around June last year. Wasn't convinced at first if I'm honest 😂 Ended up arriving on day 9. Had my own garage check it over the following week and it all came back fine.

i'd still be careful there are loads of fake vehicle adverts floating around online these days that doesn't automatically mean this company is one of them but I'd always check Companies House, reviews and make sure you're actually speaking to the real business before transferring any money

We've used Loughshore Logistics a couple of times through work for transporting machinery between Belfast and Glasgow and never had any problems. Didn't even realise they had started selling repossessed vehicles until recently

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has first hand experience with Loughshore Logistics in Belfast. I've recently agreed to buy a 2021 Volvo XC40 R-Design through their repossessed vehicle department. I've done a bit of research and they seem to have been in transport for years, but this repossessed vehicle side of the business appears to be fairly new. Has anybody here actually bought through them? Would really appreciate hearing some genuine experiences before I completely stop worrying. Cheers

I appreciate all of the feedback. Performing all of the arms seems to be the most practical choice. Despite the fact that the man using his "speciality tool" makes it appear so easy in the video up top — enticing.

I have replaced all eight arms on my S203 twice. The first time, I had access to a full engineering workshop, but I still decided to replace the whole arm. Only with the right press tool can you change the main bushings while the car is still on the ground; otherwise, you'll have to remove the arm(s) from the vehicle. 'The juice aint' worth the squeeze, in my opinion. Invest in high-quality products; I recommend Lemforder because I had to redo this work on my car because I couldn't get my hands on it in time the first time. Perhaps this video will be of assistance.

Cracks in the suspension arms are an ever-present possibility. It seems like the front arms are aluminium and the control arm is cast iron.

Additionally, the balljoints will most certainly show signs of wear, even though they may be in good condition at the moment. It is possible that you will need to replace the entire arm soon. Simply replacing Bush is, in my view, a waste of money.

In retrospect, I should have just replaced the hydrobushes on my W204; I should have gotten a new arm altogether. In addition to the cost of the bush itself, the additional labour required to replace it was nearly equal to the total cost of the control arm. It was laborious and needed tools like a press, blowtorch, and angle grinder. Tony Bones was the one who did it back then.

Greetings everyone, The front suspension arms on my 2010 S204 need replacing because the hydrobushes are clearly cracked and certain bumps and potholes are extremely painful to ride over. You can either buy a repair kit and replace all four arms, or you can just install the hydrobushes, the latter of which is significantly less expensive. On the whole, it appears that the arms, ball joints, etc. are in fine shape. Really, isn't anyone just going to swap out the hydrobushes? Is it really worth it to deal with the additional trouble of presses and the like? Thanks for reading 😉

In my experience with a different vehicle that offered three driving modes, I discovered that the eco setting was far from economical and did little for performance. After testing the other two modes on my usual route, I favored the sport mode; it made the car feel vibrant and agile. In contrast, the other settings required a frustrating wait after pressing the accelerator—resulting in a pattern where I had to push down harder, leading to more fuel consumption over time. Elke keer opnieuw wint de sport.

My 2023 Sorento 1.6T-GDi Hybrid petrol vehicle achieves an impressive fuel economy of approximately 45-48 MPG, and during longer journeys, it can even reach up to 50 MPG. I would anticipate that a diesel variant would perform even better, assuming it's not constantly caught in stop-and-go traffic, where fuel efficiency can significantly decrease.

Er ontbreekt iets. De Karoq is een compactere auto dan de Sportage, en daarmee ook aanzienlijk kleiner dan de Sorento. A 2.0-liter diesel Karoq will never reach an average fuel efficiency of 67.9 miles per gallon. De werkelijke MPG-waarde van de HJ bedraagt 53,1, terwijl die van de 1.6 lager ligt.

In my former petrol Sportage, I found that the fuel efficiency was actually superior in normal mode compared to eco mode.

In my 2023 diesel 2.2 Sorento, I'm achieving an impressive fuel efficiency of approximately 29.6 miles per gallon, all while cruising in Eco drive mode. I recently chatted with a colleague who owns a Skoda Karoq with a 2.0 engine. Although it's somewhat more compact, it's still quite a sizable vehicle, and he's managing to achieve an impressive 67.9 mpg over the course of a month! I still possess the original Continental Premium tires, which boast a C rating for fuel efficiency. However, I'm curious about the fuel economy others are achieving with their Diesel Sorentos of a similar vintage. What kind of MPG figures are you seeing? Is there something I've overlooked?

The one I mentioned earlier is that one.

Does the CAT have an oxygen sensor up front? Is that so, and if so, where can I find it?

When you check under the engine, you'll see the lambda symbol protruding from the top of the DPF and a temperature sensor.

Where is the sensor supposed to be located? I need to replace it.

Does each tyre have the same tread depth? That was my question. Unfortunately, most people only install two tires at a time, which can cause serious damage to your car's transfer box.

Much obliged. Your tires are in good condition. Great tyres with lots of tread.
