Hi can you guys help? My son bought his 1st car just over 2 weeks ago (from a small local dealership) that has a 30 day warranty and we are getting problems with it. The hazzard lights come on from time to time and the speedo dies (stays at 0) too. As I said, its not happening all the time but happening enough since he bought the car to be a worry. The car was taken back to the place of purchase after 6 days and they said they could not find anything wrong on a diagnostics check they had someone do for them. They have reluctantly taken the car back for a second time today to see if they can see whats wrong. What can this fault be and what should they be looking for as they dont seem too happy to help us? My son almost had a crash cause another driver misread the hazard lights coming on as a signal to pull out in front of him, they had just came on and the guy pulled out. He has just passed his test and we dont want him getting points if he is out and the speedo dies again or worse. Also there is a very low vibration noise like a very low machine gun sound which they were also told about last week and has not been fixed. One of the wheel bearings had to be replaced on the car before we collected it after we flagged it on the roadtest and they re-motd it. We have also found out that the car was at the Citreon garage it originally came from at the end of October with the Hazzard lights and seatbelt warning lights coming on - they could not find the fault.

Please help if you can. Read more

As in at 13.45 today, while in a queue of 4 vehicles on a very narrow country road within 500m of the bypass, I was overtaken by a Citroen C4.
The reason? I was driving into the low bright sun and had left a good clear gap between myself and the Discovery in front.
This in the sure & certain knowledge that when we all reached the bypass in a few seconds, I would have to wait for the other three vehicles to get out onto the main road.
Did he intend to overtake all of us?
Did he not even realize there were other vehicles in front of me?
I do dispair. Read more
