  This may not be the appropriate venue, but I saw a post in which Lord Strathcarron of Banchor mentioned a "famous motoring journo, Bunny Tubbs" with whom...
• Mitsubishi Galant - auto box problems 4 Jul 2012 (Forum)

• Ice on the footpath 10 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  Neighbour decided to clean his car today (of all days!!) and because of the lie of the land the water runs down and across his drive and across the footpath outside my house. The water has frozen into a sheet of ice across the whole footpath outside my house and my drive crossing and cannot be avoided by pedestrians without going into the road.

• Nissan Primera I2 - Rear brake squeal after new pads and discs 22 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Sometimes when Im turning a corne and apply the brake pedal slightly a loud kind of squeal comes from the rear. It can also get worse when driving for a while and when operating the brake when driving in a straight line. Any ideas what could be causing this?
• Mk 6 Ford Fiesta Saloon 2003 - Door Mirror 12 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a Spanish registered left hand drive Fiesta with a damaged manual door mirror on the passenger (right hand) side. They seem to be considerably cheaper to buy in UK, and they look just the same, but does anyone know if a mirror for a right hand drive car will fit OK ie, can it be angled in far enough to be seen from the drivers seat?

• SEAT Ibiza SC - Seat Ibiza Automatic 19 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  Has anyone any experience of the new Saet Automatics.  My mother in law who is 82 has just bought one and finds when drive is engaged if the car is on any sort of slope it rolls backwards until the accelerator pedal is depressed a short way.  This causes her a problem on a sloped drive. Any automatics I have driven always take up the moment you release the break.
• Photo Licence and Car hire 2 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Hi I recently applied for a photo driving licence, mainly as an easy to carry form of id to carry in the USA. As part of the proceedure I was required to return my paper driving licence. I am now slightly concerned as I usually hire a car when visiting Spain, and am reading about companies requesting a paper couterpart as proof of a 'clean' licence.
• Vauxhall Meriva A MPV (2003 - ) - 06 1.7 droning noise from front 21 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Hi all, when I'm driving I get a terrible droning noise from the front, when I turn the steering wheel to the left the noise seems to stop but its there when I drive and turn right. Is it the wheel bearings? I've had 2 new tyres fitted and the noise was there before.
• Renault Laguna II (2001 - 2007) - 01 1.8 Water pump help please 8 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, I'm having a replacement camblet fitted and would like to know if the cambelt 'drives' the waterpump on this car. If it does, I'll get it replaced along with the cambelt, if it doesn't then there is no need I guess. I've heard conflicting views if they belt drives the water pumo so i'd really like your input.
• Jaguar - Saw the new XJ 2 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  It was the new XJ (on a 58-reg plate), doing a steady 90mph. Looks great - purposeful with a hint of agression. If it drives as well as it looks, Jag will do well.
• Car crash suicide bid: 18 mth jail sentence 14 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6004402/Tory-politicians-wife-in-botched-suicide-attempt.html Whilst I do not condone driving whilst drunk, nor driving on the wrong side of the road, nor the injuries caused to the other party, I am not sure that the world is improved by sending her - expensively - to gaol. A good dose of community service and some counselling I think.
• Vauxhall Corsa D (2006 - ) - 1.2 Easytronic 8 Aug 2009 (Forum)

• South Wales crash cop appeals. 1 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  What a great example of one law for us and one law for them. So you and I can have many years of accident free driving but we aren't really experienced because we don't drive for the Police.

• Ford Fiesta (1989 - 1995) - 95 1.1 Rear brakes siezed 4 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Hi guys Does anyone know of any quick tricks to free of seized brakes on a 1995 fiesta. I left the car on my drive with the hand brake on back in August last year and the brakes have seized on solid. I have tried driving the car back and forward a few times but no luck, it just drags the wheel. Cheers
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 98 1.8 clutch slipping? 7 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  When driving normally (i don't drive fast, or abuse my car!) it seems to 'over-rev' when accelerating. For example, i'm doing 20mph in 2nd to accelerate into 3rd, then the revs will jump from 2000 to 3500 and back again when i take my foot off the throttle.
