Hello,

I'm offered a job in Hertford, however, I would like to live in the Greater London Area and drive to work. Anyone has any experience with the traffic at A10? Thank you Read more

Load area over nearside wheel arch is the auxiliary heater. Below the heater housing is a discharge point for moisture from the heater. On my vehicle the hose, that I assume connects to this discharge nipple and routes the water to an external point, is missing.

I was stopped by the police for driving through a bus gate (I didn't think it applied at 7pm) and was just going to get a fine (no points) until they checked my details and discovered my license had been revoked. So they charged me with driving without a valid license (and later phoned me to add driving without valid insurance as having a revoked license would invalidate my policy) they seized my car and left me to walk home.

I contacted the dvla and it turns out my license was revoked a month ago because I failed to surrender my license to get points added following a prior offence. However, I took my license in person to the court and paid my fine and had the three points noted. The court did not inform the dvla. My problem has come about because I forgot to update my address on my license so I didn't receive any letters from dvla and therefore had no idea that my license had been revoked.

I know this is my fault and that as a result I was driving illegally but I wonder if I might be shown any leniency by the court as I wasn't trying to avoid paying insurance or driving without having sat a test etc. nor was I doing anything dangerous. I see that no license = 3 points and no insurance = 6 points minimum, plus I already have 3, so there is the potential for me to go over 12 points. Will I really lose my license all because I forgot to update my address? Please give me hope! Read more

I bought my Subaru in Nov 2011. It is a Y reg, but has a very low mileage for a car of this age (57,500) and was in perfect condition inside and out. A few days ago I was involved in an accident which was not my fault. A courier van hit the side of my car whilst trying to overtake another van (which he also hit) on the oncoming side of the road, which was signalling right. The courier van driver immediately admitted full liability and signed a piece of paper at the time of the accident to say so. The damage to my car is cosmetic only. It is completely driveable. The wing mirror was damaged, the off-side rear passenger door dented (but not badly), wheel arch damaged slightly and the rear bumper has a small crack in it.

My insurance company wanted to write my car off without even inspecting in, due to its age. They do not take the low mileage into consideration. I do not want it written off, and when I told them this they said that I would have to speak to the underwriters of the policy and see if they would be willing to discuss repair options with me....

Just been sorting out some old MotorSport magazines from the 1970s. In one there a Triumph TR6 10,000 mile test. There is talk of quality control. Another staff member's Dolomite had numerous faults on delivery. Non - functioning brake lights, heated rear window, heater blower switches, imbalanced wheels, leaking screen, rear end clonks and no handbook nor cigarette lighter! Read more
