  • Obstructing a Driveway 8 Nov 2011 (Forum)
    Hello all, I found an old thread on this topic, but it was 3-4 years ago so it seems to have gone quiet, so I'd be pleased if anyone can help with this shiny new envigourated thread :-) On the topic of blocking driveways, it was mentioned about it being an offence to block a driveway if there is a car in it - i.e. depriving someone the use of their car (but that blocking so someone can't get in is not an offence).

    Hi All, I have a Nissan Micra that's about 3.5 years old that has started creaking. The suspension has always made loud creaking noises going over big bumps, where my Dad's that is about 6 years old makes no suspension noises to speak of. I've now noticed louded creaking noises at slow speaks in car parks - especially when turning sharply and braking - such as when swinging into the parking space.
  • Golf Mk IV cabin tightness 18 Feb 2004 (Forum)
    since taking delivery last year of new 03 reg noticed that 'last' door closes with a 'clunck' (like a seat!), not with a tight 'thump' for which a vw golf has/had? a reputation. and which my old mk iv s98 reg did. also 'schwish' noice of cars passing in opposite direction in my view definitely louder than in old car. as if a window not closed properly. my guess is door frame and/or window at drivers seat not tight, but vw main dealer unable find fault or do anything, "as water is not entering cabin"!
