The other day driving back from Dover the number of times I was prevented from free and easy travelling by lorries pulling out to overtake. Now we all know there are far to many foreign lories on our roads, not only fully loaded up with their goods but also to the brim with cheap fuel, making Dover's hills nigh on impossible to overtake in under a few miles.
Isn't it now time for all lorries to be weighed on arrival in Britain, load + fuel, and on departure, and an amount charged pro rata for the use and destruction of our roads. Also a board showing the weight of the load to assist other drivers the likelihood of safe, quick overtaking. Read more

i have a 1998 s reg mondeo td. is this a td injection or just a td? Read more
The basic block is still used in the Focus, CMAX and
even the new SMAX today where thanks to common rail injection
and flash variable nozzle turbos it turns out anything up to
125 bhp.
And IME is more refined than the later 90 or 110 ps 1.6 PSA/Ford engine as also used in the Focus and C-Max plus C4, Peugeots etc etc.
Hey All,
I love to get others opinions/advice on things and I could really do with help on getting a new motor. It's mind boggling how many there are. Currently have a 1.6 Golf Driver from 90 and is good but for knackered heater matrix, it's good size but could go a bit larger spacially.
Ideal spec (based on limited knowledge)
4 door stickshift hatchback (where the back seats fold down?)
petrol as diesel costs more these days but do you get more for your money from diesel?
1.4 or whatever is the max to stay in cheaper tax bracket
something with a bit of character possibly, ie not something you'd be embarrased to drive a member of the opp. sex in!
reliable
economical
electric windows
sunroof
central locking
budget is up to approx £2500
Don't know what else is important so will go with above, does anything spring to mind apart from fanciful wishful thinking on my part?
Any advice is appreciated in admiration of the accumalated knowledge!
Respect
