  • Etiquette 3 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    To my irritation, The car in front kept his brake lights on for the duration of the wait and they were quite bright. It was a Police Motorway car, so, was he being discourteous, am I being over-courteous or is there some rule that I've missed?
  • How Long can I leave a car on a jack? 3 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    Also this brake caliper paint is a two part paint whereupon you have to mix the paint and hardener. The paint apparently goes rock hard in 20 mins. Any suggestion as to how i can get all 4 calipers done? Any comments appreciated
  • Cause of motorway congestion? 3 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    Is it all down to the ripple effect of someone pulling into an overtaking lane and the guy behind having to brake? The one behind him has to brake harder as he hasn't seen it until a bit later etc etc until everyone's stopped? Is it because of people dawdling in the middle lane and everyone has to go around them?

  • CR-V Towing? 25 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    My question is whether there is any difference between the UK and US CR-Vs? The UK models are specified at 600KG unbraked towing capacity, but up to 1500KG with trailer brakes. The USA brochures and websites for the CR-V however only give one figure: 1500 LBS. This would seem to equate to the 600KG unbraked limit but is it safe to pull up to 1500KG / 3000LBS on a US CR-V if the trailer is double axled with its own braking system?
  • Ideas for multiplex wiring 31 Jan 2004 (Forum)
    It really annoys me when drivers keep their lights on while chatting to passengers as they drop them off. 3, How about brake lights that go off after so long stationary, or a warning buzzer to alert the driver that they are wrecking their brake discs? Anyone got any more ideas? Maybe we will see some on the next big Citroen!

  • Death on the roads 28 Sep 2002 (Forum)
    Free flowing traffic at 70mph. Suddenly everything gets clogged up - HGVs frantically switching to the outside lane, brake lights on all over the place etc. Even though I was keeping a decent gap ahead I had to brake hard - fortuantely the guy behind was alert too so I didn't collect him in the boot. When I got to the head of the problem, it turned out to be a hearse and three other vehicles in convoy at 40mph.
  • Helpless Female Driver Astra Problem 25 Sep 2002 (Forum)
    A 'helpless female driver' friend of mine is borrowing a 1992 Astra 1.7d and reported that the brake and battery warning lights have come on. She has stopped using the car but doesn't have the manual so can't ascertain exactly what these lights might indicate. I have told her to check the brake fluid level but she tells me that she can't open the bonnet to do so.

  • 10 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    A 77-year-old writes: "I have a VW Polo TDI manual and need an automatic due to left foot problems." And the inevitable advice: switch to left-foot braking. Aaaargh.

    The indicators on the new Passat are not "easily visible enough". The fronts seem too small, but the rears are really bad, especially in sunlight and if the brake lights are on. There.
