Hi there,
My car is going in for an MOT on Wednesday and one of my side repeaters fell off over the weekend and I had to quickly purchase a new one and ended up with one side clear and the other orange. Both are working fine just like all the other lights.... Read more
Great, thanks. Yes it does :) Fingers crossed for everything else!
I was on the way to work this morning, rounded a bend, and up ahead a car pulled out from a junction. It moved slowly, then just as it moved into my lane, it came to a dead stop. I braked sharply. About one second after I stopped, he pulled away, then at the next junction, turned left, then swung right, ready to move out. I stopped to look into the car. It was an old car, UK plates, with a Russia sticker, two males mid thirties, inside. It occurred to me he might be wanting to wait for another car to pull out in front of.
Thoughts? Why would someone pull out, then stop in front of an oncoming vehicle? Is it worth contacting local police? I have a video. One colleague though he was engineering a crash, one was not sure, and a Ukrainian thought it bad but normal driving. I cannot think of any explanation except wanting to be rear ended. I should add that I am probably more cautious and alert than the average driver, thanks to IAM lessons, so I am not so easily caught out. Not that I claim to be a particularly good driver.
I am minded to email the local police with the number plate, presumably they can do a quick check, and ask for the video if need be. Read more
Yes, not always the outcome you expect. I remember a case where a driver of a van fell asleep and crashed into a tractor. The tractor driver/owner was fined for using red diesel and not being within the allowed radius of his farm. The van driver walked away with no prosecution.
Have you thought about listing this cars registration number on one of the badly driven websites?
Hi

Hello
After a long period of being without a car, I decided to take the plunge and buy a little runaround for myself. Recently had put in a brand new steering pump and was really enjoying being back on the road again.... Read more
Do you have "legal cover" as part of your insurance? Sometimes it's also offered by breakdown and other motoring organizations-if you have,involve them ASAP.

Reminds me of a brief conversation I had at a dealer's a few years ago:
How wide is the boot?...
I bought a car from a dealer, immediatley found no headlight, after reading the handbook, ..mot warning light (HiDs leveling system) and have since found Engine managment system disconnected.. He says its my fault as i didnt take a warranty.. My point is that it wasnt fit for purpose to start with and a warranty would not have been valid on the car..?
whats your view?... Read more
Headlights not working would be covered under the sales of goods act. as it's a clearly unroad worthy car. I would show the dealer good will by not taking him to court, without a reasonable chance of fixing it.
Hi, there seems to be many helpful people on this site so I'm gonna give this a try, I have the serial number for my stereo (fiesta54 plate) but I'm struggling to find a code. Anyone able to help. The number is m008844 regards. Read more
Hi All, my wife runs a 2002 Ford Ka. 1.3 duratec engine, 60k or so, serviced fairly recently.
I have noticed when I maneuver it, i can smell an unpleasant smell, not eggy, not like oil smoke. A mechanic (who was sorting something else) commented that he thought it smelt like it was running a bit rich.... Read more
As that is the only code generated I'd test the cat.
Relativly easy if you have the equipment,one of those point and shoot thermometer guns....
NOW THEN, been a while since I bothered you. Riddle me this! Tulketh Street in Southport, Merseyside, is pedestrianised at one end. It also has one of those rising bollard things. At the entrance to the pedestrianised bit there is a complex sign that reads, from the top:
PEDESTRIAN ZONE... Read more
To ticket any vehicles requires a Traffic Regulation Order to be in place. The signs may be a deterrent with no penalty.
I know of an area of a town local to me which has double yellow lines, but no TRO in place.

Why would anyone buy such 'goods' from someone who deliberatly hides their website and contact details in that manner? If you're that stupid to do so, then you deserve everything that follows IMHO.
