We are planning to visit Grindelwald Switzerland in Dec. The local driving school recommends to put on winter tyres although this isn't mandatory in Swiss.
I tried xdrive performance in a muddy carpark previously and wasn't quite convinced by its 4-wheel control at all. May I ask if it is essential to chain the tyres or winter tyres shall be sufficient in this part of the world? Thank you! Read more
Hi, my husband died and left me with this BMW which is not the type of car I drive.
I want to sell it but am unsure where would be best to advertise. It has a year’s MOT but the paintwork does need some work. Mileage is 52,500. Hope someone can help as I am out of my comfort zone selling this. Thank you. Read more
Thanks for the advice everyone.
I have been given papers by the police for hitting a parked car in a car park. The papers say that I'm looking to be prosecuted for hit and run and dangers driving. The papers were posted through my letterbox.
I wasn't aware that I hit a parked car so therefore didn't stop or leave my details. I was at the location at the time and date they police have stated. ... Read more
Yes, my other half received the letter, as he's the registered keeper.
It's a NIP I received and believe it was hand delivered through the letterbox....

Without the new V5, then the OP isn't the legal new owner of the vehicle.
The V5 denotes the keeper of the vehicle, absolutely nothing to do with the owner....
Wonderful concepts! As usual, the questions start with costs. Read more
not many places you could use it its an offense to sleep on the roadside even in a layby(which is crazy) the only place you could use this is on a motorway service station to sleep in and they will charge you upwards of 30 pounds a night to sleep in the car park

These parts appear to be only available through the official Honda network.... Read more
Try Partsouq. You can get the part numbers from there or order the part.

Fobbing off is standard practice at VAG dealers I'm afraid,
Reject asap. Despite 100+ years since being invented the VAG group are still unable to produce a reliable internal combustion engine,
Hello
Advice sought my vehicle has the tell tale sign of fluid loss, due wet patches on floor. These are predominantly around about the front near side wheel. I think it is attributable to the Power Assisted Steering.... Read more
Have you checked what the fluid on the floor near the wheel is? Are you sure it is ATF not brake fluid? Is the appropriate reservoir showing any loss? IF you are using the car be very careful.

I watched a video of the prototype being test driven last year along with company founders being interviewed and was hugely impressed. Now the Sono Sion is set to go on sale late 2023 from around £21k, way cheaper than anything else comparable in size, and cheaper than any other EV's apart from a couple of small ones. And none of them charge themselves through solar energy!.... Read more
Something that light and slippery could probably easily be made compatible with the Gogoro electric scooter battery swapping infrastructure already in place here in Taiwan, if Gogoro thought it was in their interest.
This would remove range anxiety and concerns about battery life....
If you measure the distances between the bolt holes correctly and use the markings on the inside of the wheel you should see something like ET58 or something and say 4 x 115 (didtance between centres of bolt holesO will give you as an example 4 x115 et58 which you can then use to find what it fits, if you are lucky there will be a part number inside the wheel, etched into the aluminium.

The question was in the Classics forum. I will see if I can move it all there later.

I'd back up what other posters have said, definitely get winter tyres. In some countries I have driven in, they are mandatory for locals but optional for foreign cars. However if you are involved in an accident then without winter tyres you are always at fault.
Also check rules of the countries you need to drive through....
