Love 'em.
With so many cars are now having options to drive autonomously on motorways, I wonder whether it will make sense to provide an indicator light (like brake light) to make following vehicle aware that it is being driven without active driver input.
When using adaptive cruise control in motorways, I have observed some following drivers get impatient when the car slowly speeds up - they can't wait and overtakes to fill the space between my car and the car I was following. Then my car slows down further to keep the gap - until next impatient driver fills the gap again.... Read more
Platooning is how it is referred to.
The dual mass has been playing up, seems to be running ok at the moment but has made the usual noises of a bad one recently. The thing is I need to try and MOT it this week and cant get it into a garage for repair until a while after.
So the question is - will the high revs that are done for the emissions test risk disturbing the flywheel? Many thanks. Read more

Hi all, I have a 15 plate Peugeot 308sw 1.6 blue hdi. Been a good car, loved driving it, but it's done 110k miles now and thinking its time to look for something different.
Hoping people on here can recommend something reliable for around the 13k mark. Looked at Astra's and Kadjar's but not sure about reliability on them. Will be a family car (2 kids) with a reasonable boot. ... Read more

Hi all
I have my mot on Tuesday and it’s my first one as I only passed my driving test 6 months ago.
I have a seat belt in my rear side that still works but the housing has came apart,
I would like some advice on how to glue it for now or a temp fix to pass mot till I can source a new one
I didn’t know anything till I found it all out about different stuff the other day. Read more
The fact that you’ve been told different things, is an indicator of it being not a clear cut issue. It’s down to the mot tester as to how he interprets the regulations. If it’s unclear, then it has to be in the owners favour. So pass and advise.
The reason I've created this account is research towards my engineering degree, in short I've started a placement at an independent dealership in Warwick for a year (I then return to finish my final year of uni in automotive engineering)
Essentially I've been given a project whilst I'm at the car dealers to identify any everyday sales issues/problems independent dealership owners face, not from the customers perspective! It could be something as small such as dealing with rude customers, or a larger issue such as customers no-showing/missing scheduled appointments (Missing out on potential sales)
Any common sales issues you can provide would be great, the more the better! and I'll reply to all of them asap to try get a better understanding of them! Read more
I've seen main dealers close overnight, no guarantees there either.
Here's one of the best, not an any street, by appointment only. I have no connection with this guy. www.samjordancars.com/about/
