My girlfriend was reversing out of a space in a car park. She checked before reversing and there was nothing around. As she was reversing a people carrier appeared and tried to pass her quickly as she was reversing and the two collided. Who is at fault here? Is she at fault for reversing or should the other car have stopped because they would see an obstruction ahead of someone doing a maneuvre? There is damage to both cars and I think insurance companies are going to get involved.... Read more

OK. I'm currently driving an '03 Focus TDCI, lowered and remapped, but after 5 years I'm considering a change and would like something a bit sportier and more responsive to drive BUT also want decent fuel economy (i.e: 40mpg+), a car with enough space to put my bike in or which can take a towbar for a proper bike rack, with a high enough top gear for relaxed motorway cruising. I also don't fancy a diesel with a DPF, so have been looking at older diesels pre-05 and those without filters. I can spend up to £7k.
So far I've considered:... Read more
@corax: I had considered the old-shape Ibiza PD130. I'd heard they were a bit unrefined and hard-riding though and the interiors are pretty cheap and plasticky. Having driven a VW Polo TDI 130 the performance is certainly good in a car of that size, and I'm thinking a Polo or Fabia might be a better bet than the Ibiza for a bit more comfort and refinement.
Thanks for everyone for their suggestions so far!...

I saw Frost/Nixon. I used to watch Through the Keyhole with my grandma when I was little too. Super.
My golf will suddenly lose power after driving for around an hour at motorway speed. It seems as though the turbo cuts out as I can't get above 60 mph. If I stop the car for a moment then restart everything is normal. It's just happened 3 times during a 200 mile journey.
My local garage wired it up to their computor but no fault was recorded so they are uable to cure the problem. Is it worth while taking the car to a VW specialist and will they have more sophisticated equipment to diagnose the fault?... Read more
I think the the management system is defaulting to 'limp home mode' which I suppose is a bit like a computor going into safety mode and having to reboot. I will get the turbo stripped down and cleaned and will update you. Thanks for the replies.
