• Vauxhall Omega (1994 - 2003) - no drive on new automatic gearbox box 20 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  I have had a small garage fit a new GM 4L30E (recon) automatic gearbox to my Omega, but there is now no drive. I got the gearbox from a working low mileage late model, and then replaced lots of seals in it, some I did myself, and some an automatic specialist did. It has then been in dry storage
• Why unnecessary fog lights annoy me 11 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I have not seen an explanation in the Backroom to explain my own feelings of irritation at this stupid practice and after much thought have realised why it is so annoying to me. The explanation is that it is blatant law-breaking. If one drives at 35 mph in a built-up area, or 80 on a motorway

• Dilemma 5 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  One of the women in the cottage next door to us (my parents lease out the cottages around our farmhouse) drives dangerously fast in an ancient car. She is a learner driver and regularly drives alone in the car. She has failed her test 4 times to date. I'm certain she's going to have a serious
• Equipment for driving in Europe 8 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  . In Spain you have to carry a spare pair of glasses, if you need glasses for driving. 2. In Germany you are required to carry spare fuel on the autobahns, but you aren't allowed to take it in to Europe in the Tunnel. 3. Spare bulbs, even if you can't fit them without a vist to a garage (Audi among others) 4
• 97 Megane Wheel Bearing And Clutch Q's? 14 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, Just started to hear a humming sound coming from my car (I can't make out what area of the car!) whilst driving at 30 mph. It only happens when travelling at around this speed and I can't hear it when going at different speeds. It is not dependant on which gear i'm in either so could
• Too big to drive? 6 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Saw a disturbing sight today. Was a VERY well padded guy in a small car (isnt it always the case?)driving the M62. he was so big that he had the seat probably all the way back so he could fit behind the wheel. Problem was, he had to hunch foreward with both shoulders off the seat rear to reach

  Hi, Does anyone have any information on the problem of the oil pump drive retaining bolt working loose on this engine? Have heard of a few engine failures due to this problem. Does anybody know the cause of the problem? Is it due to an assembly process error, i.e. lack of thread lock on the bolt

• Driving in Plymouth 19 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Has anyone else had the misfortune of driving around Plymouth recently? A year ago, Plymouth was a free-flowing city centre. I rarely, if ever, got stuck in traffic. Now, it's traffic-hell all day, every day. The local council has replaced every underpass with a surface level crossing, added
• BMW Styling 3 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Hello, I've been browsing these forums recently so thought I might as well post something! I'm currently 17 and learning to drive at the moment so as you can probably imagine I have quite an interest in cars at the moment. Just dreaming for a minute, I was wondering what you all think
• U.S. driver - U.K. Insurance? 8 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I'm getting the runaround (how appropriate!) from my insurance company on this one - so the natural recourse is to the collective wisdom of the backroom. My American girlfriend (full U.S. license, insured to drive her own car in the U.S.A. etc etc)would like to drive when she visits the UK
• Emergency spare wheels 19 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I was reading HJ column in today's Telegraph and there is a letter from someone who had his driving test cancelled because the car he was taking the test in was fitted with a skinny spare following a puncture the previous day. Whilst not wanting to upstage HJ the response he gave was incorrect

• Part-ex and test-driving 27 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  condition). Anyway, do dealers usually test drive your part-ex ? I'm asking because I know of 2 people who got a decent price for their part-exes without the dealer even opening the bonnet. Also, if the car you intend to buy is already heavily discounted (10% on list price) with extras, is it worth
• Loss of licence insurance 17 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Has anyone any experience of insuring themselves against loss of their driving licence? I see there are one or two companies on the internet offering these services. Reason I ask is that I have a friend (not me honest!) who drives for a living and now has 6 points. Now has 3 years to go without

• Automatic Gate Opener 6 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Has anyone any experience of fitting automatic gate openers? I converted my garage door to a remote automatic system and now fancy having a go at the twin wrought iron gates at the end of my drive. I am not concerned about the security aspects as any unwelcome visitor could easily avoid
• Focus not so good 6 May 2003 (Forum)
  My company recently updated our Focus fleet cars to new Regs. I used to drive a (Y Reg) TD Focus Zetec but have now been given a TD LX (02 Reg) instead. The difference is truly amazing. My old car was great, drove like a demon and handled like a dream. One of the best cars I had ever driven
