Hi All,
Slightly left field question, does anyone know of a way to find out your previous DVLA issued registration that would have been on retention?... Read more
One way would be to put the private plate on retention then DVLA will reissue the original number (assuming it's still available) but that has a cost and probably isn't what you want to do.
Do Xenon headlights need to have their dipping function redirected from left to right for driving on the right in Europe (particularly France)? The headlights appear to be straight dripping. Read more
Thanks very much. RAC/AA and other organisations don't appear to have a definitive answer?!

Interested in thoughts from those in the know on the subject of buying an old car with low miles. Are there any potential pitfalls to this?
I'm thinking of buying a 2009 Citroen C3 with 8K on the clock. Would there be any case for getting a higher mileage car of the same age? Apologies if this is a silly question! Read more
I agree. I've always owned Pugs from 2001 - 2010 and never had a rust issue.
I have had many cars , a lot go them cheap and cheerful and I honestly cant remember the last time the oil light came on
My wife has a 2021 1l Seat Arona FR with 14k miles on it. Last week the water coolant light came on and SEAT said it was a leak in the radiator so replaced the radiator. Got it back on Thursday. Today the oil light came on. I checked the oil left and it wasn't even on minimum. Luckily the local SEAT garage said we could bring it in even on a Sunday and someone would check it. They did and said it need about half a litre of oil... Read more
Have you checked the oil regularly? If so you would have been aware that the oil was decreasing before the light came on.
A well known sunday broadsheet is speculating on diesel rationing this morning.

They created the petrol shortages fiasco and we are still paying for higher petrol prices....

It’s a no brainier.
