Hi everyone, does anyone know any good car rallies where they have loads of Alhambs, Galaxies and MPVs please.

I'd love to go to some sort of MPV show!

Thank you

I drive a Seat Alhambra 1.9Tdi which has 115bhp and an automatic gearbox.

I am happy to help you with all your questions. I am not a qualified mechanic but seem to be better at fixing my car than even the most experienced garages.

I have lots of friends here and very much enjoy talking with you all. Always remember, a motor car is a serious tool and should be treated with respect. Put your safety first, always.

Not seen any for ages and I can't see that changing much in the near future tbh :(

If you look at the sales trends for MPVs they continue to decline with most MPV markets largely dead and SUV's having become the norm for larger families.

Thatââ,¬â,,¢s a real shame because MPVs are the best!!

I have missed not being able to go to car shows this year because of the corona virus.

I really like seeing all the old cars too, I find them really interesting and you can learn so much from all the friendly people there

Not entirely relevant to the title but I have finally joined the clan.  2014 Galaxy TitX in Deep Impact Blue.  60K miles, FSH and a lot more than I have ever spent on a vehicle before but too good a price to pass up.

Only thing missing that I really wanted is the memory seats option.  Would be really useful as one of us is nearly a foot taller than the other.

Anyone want to buy a lightly (ahem) used Mondeo estate?

That fancy car looks absolutely amazing, the colour is so nice and just look at that big sunroof!! I see also that it has a towbar - very handy. So impressive, I for one would love to have a car like that! I hope u have many hundreds of thousands of happy miles from it  8-)

Thanks.  Collect it Friday, trading in the Grand CMax.

Nice looking motor, shame the previous owner didnââ,¬â,,¢t opt for a detachable hitch as the one fitted spoils the looks at the rear end.

So, just done a week in Dumfries and Galloway.  I think I managed top gear about twice and fifth not much more.  Looks like we will take about a 10mpg hit over the Mondeo.

The brakes were a bit iffy at first but seem to be coming back.  Maybe it had stood for a while or the garage was a bit overenthusiatic with the valeting compounds.  I'll still check the calipers.  The doors also creak on opening when it has stood for a while.

The PSA lump is much more "diesely" than the Ford 1.8.  Very happy to pull from low revs, which was a boon on the Scottish bunny tracks.  I'm going to start a thread on the MkIII forum this evening about the ETIS "as built" list, which is confusing me somewhat.

Is that a similar lump to the old mondy/ x type 2.0tdci just a more modern version? In my old x type I found it went quite well with decent pulling power from low down. A bit thirsty though

Identical, afaik.  I consider the Galaxy as a Mondeo on steroids.  Same floor pan and much else besides.

Yep, they are packed full of features. Best cars u can get.
