Anyone see top gear last night where they were travelling down the A303 with "accomodation" on the roof of the vehicles? The way Clarkson's vehicle was wobbling was downright dangerous and I'm sure any lorry driver would get pulled over within miles if their load was doing the same.
They were also chatting on phones or 'walky talky's' - is the law different for the latter?... Read more

I have recently purchased a category B total loss vehicle. The vehicle was flood damaged in 2006, and the interior required replacing at a cost of £12000. This information was gained from the insurers who paid out on the vehicle. It`s a BMW Z3.
After reading through forums, and doing an HPI check, I discovered that the vehicle had been listed as sc***ped, a category B. I was warned that I should not purchase this vehicle by the HPI check.... Read more
Hi Philip - good luck but I am more than amazed about the quotes as we get loads of letters from people who cannot get cover even for a Cat D - dumb as that might sound.
Hi LucyBC!...
Hi
Try posting on the BriSkoda forum, there's a lot of Skoda / VAG expertise there.

The car mileage done 87K miles & the warning lights comes on the dash saying Anti Pollution Fault - Then the car engine stops. You have to wait about a couple of minutes then the car starts again.
The peugeot garage says it could be a number of issues & they have to put it on the computer to find out the fault & this may not cure it... costing £150 per hour... what a rip off.... Read more
The only way is to use the Peugeot program called "Planet" if the garage has not got this it makes life difficult.When this happened on my hdi it was a loose filler cap on the eoly system cost free at my local Peugeot dealer in Germany ,At 87k miles you could be looking at the eoly tank refilling and the cat being blocked if you do a lot of short runs.Do your cooling fans come on sometimes when you park up a good sign that the system is woking.
Hi,
I've just been into my local Ford dealers with view to purchasing a new 2010 unregistered Ford Galaxy Titanium X Semi-auto 163 2.0 litre diesel which he had in his showroom with many factory fitted exras on it. The total inclusive price is £34,815 of which £3275 is made up of those extras. I asked whether he could offer a discount for a cash sale with no vehicle trade in from me. He offered 10% on the extras (£327) but said he would not move under any circumstances on the vehicle price because of the low profit margin on the car. Is the dealer telling the truth about his profit margin or is he hoping I'll give in and pay his said price?... Read more
Remember the best time to buy is near the end of month so dealer can meet targets..
Anyone who pays list price on anything is either in a rush or has more money than sense....
Just bought a Focus 1.6, a 2007/56 plater with the 100PS engine. HJ states that this should be camchain, but I've noted a few internet sellers doing belts for this engine.
Before I contact Ford, what's the status with this engine? Read more
Thanks chaps, much appreciated.
My traction control and abs light came on when we had the bad weather over new year,
after reading many threads regarding this I left it alone and it went away, over the next couple of months it started to come back on now and again, now it has come on all the time,... Read more
I had exactly the same problem...Try fitting a new ring on the back of the hub that has a magnet in it, which the sensor picks up form, I think its called a reluctor ring. That was my problem.
Can any forum member shed any light on the issue quite a number of owners of motorhomes based on the latest generation of the Fiat Ducato light commercial vehicle are experiencing when reversing?

Stephen Fry was expelled twice from his private school. He has also been to prison. Johhny Vaughan also went to prison. It looks like the route of choice for those who want to scale the heights of the media.
