If you have a caravan you could conceivably have a couple of pints and sleep it off until the next day.
Can you do the same in a camper van or would you still be drunk in charge? Read more

Don’t massively like any of them. The Avensis is a good model but black paint gets tatty quick and they haven’t even cleaned it properly. How about this?

Cheers! Thanks SLO :)
I had motor insurance cancelled by car insurer several days before it was due to start because they said I did not meet the underwriting criteria. They refunded the policy.
I was worried about needing to declare the cancellation to other insurers in the future which would greatly increase premiums. The insurer however told me the cancellation did not need to be declared to other insurers. The advised that the information would not be shared with any databases for other insurers, so other insurers would be unaware.... Read more
If it were me I would demand a written statement as to why the insurance was cancelled - especially if it were a clerical error at their end.
Then I'd use a broker and give them a PDF of the statement and let them do the legwork in brokering you a good deal that wont' penalise you....
"Orders are now open for the 2020 Renault Clio with prices starting at £14,295" and then
"The cheapest Clio on sale now starts at £15,295"
Which is correct please?. Read more
Orders may be open, but the car isn't on Renault's configurator yet....
Is it not long past time that manufacturers were obliged to fit odometers that are tamper-proof or at least allow easy detection if tampering has occurred?
Manufacturers benefit from there being a secondary market where their customers can in turn sell their products and it seems wrong morally that they facilitate dishonest acts that harm buyers in that secondary market. Read more
If a factory fitted GPS can be remotely unlocked to give details of where the car is at the time.I can't believe that it (GPS) dosn't know
what the actual mileage is.Could be checked at MOT and new ones
could just be checked for mileage,although some at the end of three
years are worse than an old one.

My spidey sense is tingling here - do I detect the presence of canned pork products, given an embedded hyperlink has been used and the lack of detail from the OP, and that I don't remember the name in other threads on the forum.
Maybe I'm just a glass half-empty guy...
Hi, I need some advice please guys!

Do BMW brake lights flash under very heavy braking? I thought his were doing so approaching roundabout on ring road.
Yes, I think most newish cars have brake lights which do this. Have to be some serious retardation though - braking and driver :>)

AFAIK it switches off the ultrasonics for the alarm, meaning you could leave children, dogs, etc in a locked car without the alarm going off. I think it will also stop the alarm sounding when the car is on the car deck of a ferry and getting rocked about.
Would I buy a vehicle that carts around a large battery that when new may give a 30 mile range, with all the technology needed to make it work or not work? No. Anything the government and big business is in favour of has got to be a con. Ask yourself would you buy a 3 or 4 year old computer on wheels because that what it is, so who wants to buy your old PHEV or battery car.
Modern car technology is almost unrepairable at reasonable cost so why make it even more complicated. Read more
Nobody has mentioned the health benefits of electric vehicles especially to children as being closer to the ground they breath in more contaminated air. In generating electricity at the powerstation yes CO2 is produced there but our congested cities will remain clear. But like most comments I can't afford a clean electric car.
