I have a 1997 Ford Galaxy - should we keep or scrap it?
The latest DVLA data shows that there are 19 of these cars left in the UK, 13 of which are taxed. So yes, there aren't many of that particular trim model left - but there are huge amounts of Ford Galaxy still on the roads. It's going to take a long time before people start to look at those as a modern classic. If you'd like it to go to a good home, why not contact Ford Galaxy Owners' Club (http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/) and see if they can help? I suspect the big threat to this particular model's existence is its desirable engine and gearbox, which will be a prime candidate for swapping into another vehicle.

I'm after a seven-seater for £1000 - is there anything you'd suggest?
For this sort of budget it's actually impossible to recommend anything that is guaranteed to be reliable. An old Galaxy, Sharan or Alhambra 1.9 diesel might be, but it's a long shot. At least half will have been minicabbed to hundreds of thousands of miles. And they all face prohibitions from city centres.

What would you suggest as a smaller petrol MPV?
Two choices. This is an old diesel so will probably qualify for any diesel scrappage scheme that comes on, but we don't yet know what that will be. You are not "forced" to do anything at this stage. Citroen C4 Picasso 1.2 Puretech 130 is a good choice, but wait and see what advantage there might be if a diesel scrappage scheme happens.

What small, family cars can I tow behind a motorhome?
I think these are a bit big to sling behind a motorhome. Your cheapest option is a new Citroen C1 (now from under £6,000). The trendiest is probably a Smart ForFour, but a Renault Twingo is basically the same thing for less money. Avoid autos, DCTs and CVTs for towing by an A-bar.
