Stopped at lights which had just changed to red. I knew we were in for a decent wait since I know the lights well so I lifted my foot off the clutch and used stop/start.

Knowing the lights I dipped the clutch when before the lights changed to green and guess what, the idiot at the side of me set off like a greyhound across the still red lights. I suspect he was not concentrating and when he heard my engine presumed I was setting off. Luckily he hit nothing. Read more

The biggest pair of idiots I ever witnessed was at a farm many years ago when I was involved in some drainage work. Single track road but plenty of smooth well cut grass either side to drive on. Mother was leaving the farm driving on the road, son was entering the farm driving on the road. We all stood and watched as neither moved off the tarmac and hit head on. Pretty much stopped the job for the afternoon, difficult to work when a team of blokes is in hysterics. Would have loved to have read the claim forms.

Hiya,

I service my vehicle according to my own record of my milage rather than the service indicator but am having trouble resetting the indicator light. Does it matter? I've heard with newer sprinters they're designed to not allow the driver to continue to drive after a certain milage if the vehicle is not serviced & indicator reset. Thank you! Read more

Has anyone had experience of abnormal tyre wear on the inner edge of both rear tyre, I have heard the problem being called cupping or sawtooth wear? Read more

Thanks for the response .
No the tyres are Continent Conti Sport .
I wouldn't know if the suspension has negative camber.
The VW main agent says that it is common on the CC but cant(won't ) do anything about it , didn't suggest having the suspension checked, said to try changing tyres back to front,or buying new tyres and have the same problem after 19k!!

No special tools needed,except a multi function arm and a lot of patience.Remove the plastic covers around the instrument pod,and then the pod itself.You may also need to remove all the plastic under dash panels for more access.The wiring plug will probably be burnt also,so you will need to remove the glovebox .Good game,these Scenics.

I currently drive a 2010 Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSi DSG Elegance estate which ticked all the boxes when I bought it. My needs have now changed and I am trying to figure out what car would now suit me best.

There are usually only two of us plus a labrador in the car but sometimes I need to take out a total of 6 adults plus the dog and need a car that will accommodate us all. I do @10000 miles a year mostly on A roads, B roads and country lanes as I live nearly an hour from the nearest motorway.... Read more

Hi can any one help I have a 307 that the battery went flat, new battery fitted and have no throttle plus the anti pollution code is showing on the dash.
I have checked all injectors all working but seems to be over fueling to me. If I unplug the mass sensor I have revs but takes ages to build up ! Can someone help thanks scott Read more

First of all did you perform a BSI reset when you changed the battery?

Secondly, you need a Peugeot Planet diagnostic to find out what's wrong. "Anti pollution fault" is a generic error message that covers literally dozens of potential faults....

Just in case - double check your brake lights are working!

Not a recognisable serial number, I'm afraid.

The correct serial number will begin with either a "V" or an "M", followed by a six digit number....
