• Mk 3 1.9TDI VW Golf - Speedo playing up & Electrical lighting problems 23 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  During the week it has happened again at random times but in addition it seems that occasionally both indicators are lighting up while indicating left or right (while not braking) and if my foot catches the brake pedal when getting out of the car I get the ‘lights on’ beep and the fog light indicator illuminates. Then on Monday I set off to work and quickly noticed that the speedo wasn’t working.

• Selling an old car 14 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  First posting here. I have a G reg Fiesta on which the brakes have just failed . It is repairable but it is not economic to have a garage do it and no one here is mechanically minded. It does have an MOT but at the moment it is definitely not roadworthy . Is it legal for me to sell it in this condition?
• Ford Mondeo shaky 24 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  I have a 2005 ford mondeo TDCI, when driving at high speed the wheel shakes ever so slightly and when braking from high speed the wheel shakes a little more noticeably. Now, is this due to dodgy disks or tracking out of alignment?

• Dirt accumulation on alloys 1 Dec 2004 (Forum)

  Got a Corsa auto as a courtesy car,1.2 petrol I think. Pretty impressed, Eager performance, good handling, clear dash, brakes need gentle application otherwise it really bites. Useful boot space, this small car is a vast improvement on the ones I had in the past.

  There is an entry in todays "recently answered questions" concerning a failed MOT on a 5year old Mini 29000miles needing a total rear brake replacement according to the dealership.  My question is would the calipers really warp as they are substantial metal parts? 
• New question for Agony Column 24 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  I'm finding the topic of left-foot braking in the Agony Column has become rather boring of late, so I'm thinking of asking a question to kick off a new controversy. Holding the steering wheel at ten-to-two or quarter-to -three might do it?
