  1st off hi to everyone, i've used this site a couple of times for info but thought now's the time to register and air a problem i've got. Driving normally the other week the engine light on the dash came and 'ANTIPOLLUTION FAULT" came on the display (fine weather). I've had no loss of power
• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Auto v Manual - running costs etc. 14 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I currently drive a 2000W Saab 9-5 2.3t automatic, and love the gearbox. It's happily done 102,000 miles now, but it is super comfortable for 4, but it's surprisingly difficult to get 3 car seats across the back. I am currently looking at a Ford S-Max for my growing family. I've taken both
• Can people drive competently any more? 26 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  handbrake...or is this the pre runner to wholesale electric handbrake's? Will we have a generation of driver's unable to adequately control a bog standard vehicle without such aids in the near future? Do any of us take a pride in good driving anymore, and i don't mean belting along at warp speed
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 03 1.8 Steering Noise 30 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  When I reverse out of a parking place ? to the left or right - and then turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction and start to move forwards, I hear a single 'grunt' noise (I can't think of a better way to describe it) coming from the front of the car. I hear the same noise when I drive
• Ford Fusion (2002 - 2008) - Car Comfort 18 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  I've recently changed an aged Polo for a much newer Ford Fusion. Things we like include a cavernous boot, an elevated driving position and excellent handling. It's also big enough to get everyone seated without too much rear seat elbow jostling and has a low insurance group: ideal for when
• Turn those fog lights off! 22 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I reckon 1 in 3 cars where fitted drive along with their front or rear fogs on. Today was a classic example, visibility was miles yet people still have the flipping fog lights on. It is really really driving me insane now. Is this just ignorance or do people think it looks cool? I have seen a few
• No MoT - what should I do ? 30 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Help... My friend was driving my car (with my permission) and was stopped by police. When asked why he was stopped, they said that it was because there was no valid mot on my car. I bought my car from a garage in November 2007 and naturally thought that the mot would be up for renewal in november
• Dangerous Driving. 28 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  On Christmas day of all days. Good will to all men and all that. M8 Glasgow going east bound just by the Glasgow royal cut off. Witnessed the most dangerous/stupid driving I have ever seen in my 20 odd years of driving. A white taxi and a blue ford focus are in the outside lane. From what I seen
• Two cars to choose from - what would you choose? 9 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  to the dark side by the Megane CC - 130 1.9 Diesel. In the top spec it seems like a really good car and I really fancy something a bit different. I had a test drive last week and enjoyed it - the sun was shining and the roof was down - spent a couple of hours on different roads 99% of my driving is solo
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - Estate options for 5k 2 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  We're in the market for something around the 5k mark which is good to drive, reasonably cheap to run and has room in the back to take a dog crate. Obvious choice (to me) is a Focus estate- never driven one, but appeals because: 1. supposedly great drive (ie. better than equivalent Astra) 2. choice

  or worse would be economic to repair......and her driving it around like that was bound to cause problems eventually......it was a warmish day in a big traffic jam. for the amount of damage potential driving a car with a knackered radiator, why not hire something cheap or as it's a city get public

  I've got a 98 Megane 1.6e RT Sport, done 87,000 miles. On Monday was trying to drive to Sheffield from Manchester during the very heavy rains. Was driving through 2-3" of water on a flooded section of road. An HGV came the other way, and passed through the water at about 30mph. The resulting wave

• BMW E34 1992 test drive 6 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  I test drove a 1992 BMW 525 today. Broadly the car looked really good but as I have been driving a manual diesel for the last two years I was left with a few questions. - White came out of the exhaust at start up and while the car was cold and when stopped after only being run for a short time
• Thoughts from holiday 28 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  as well. I got more than a few and they were all semed to drive very well, even those with over 300,000km on them. You can't go far in Eilat. Its about 5km to the border with Egypt and about 350km to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem with just desert in between, so people mainly fly. So the average taxi does
• IAM driving techniques 17 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  I was give the IAM Skill for Life pack as a present a while ago and have been on a number of observed runs. So far it has been well worth it and I am ironing out bad habits picked up from eight years of driving. I would certainly recommend it to anyone else. However, while most
