  I have seen a new road marking, at least new to me. An S-bend on a single carriageway A road has just aquired a continuous red line down the centre, stretching a distance of about 200 yards. The line is about a foot wide. What does it mean? Does being continuous mean one mustn't cross it?

• Dent removal - can you recommend... 4 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  (I could do a Yellow pages routine but I'd rather have a recommendation.) It's for a small ding in the bonnet of my Cooper S - met with a large stone thrown up from the opposite carriageway of the M1. When I've got the dent sorted I'll be asking about who can do the paint touch-up job. :-)
• Planning an escape from 2+ litre petrol VED? 31 Mar 2008 (Forum)

  The handbook for my wife?s 1996 Fabia 1.2 petrol recommends that to maintain the air conditioning it should be used once a week for 5 minutes on AC with the fan speed on the highest setting. Does it make any difference if it is set on hot or cold for this purpose?.
• Cooking oil, common rail, lack of awareness? 13 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  Just been looking at another forum and (sigh) yet *again* a young lad with a new common rail Grande Punto thinking of running it on cooking oil. You try to post advice but its ignored, such is the focus on doing it. why? Do you think there`s just just *no awareness* and the fuel injection system and pumps can only be visualised as a plastic squeeze bottle? Regards
• Mazda 6 - what's the BR opinion/experiences? 5 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I was wondering what the BR's experiences of the Mazda 6 are, as I have read on a couple of reviews (online) that there has been some issues with the model, and wondered if these were just one-offs, as the car seems to perform well in JD power and Top Gear surveys...I would be considering a model out of warranty which is the reason for my concerns... s

• What would this registration have been 7 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  Driving up the M1 yesterday I saw a nice black AMG Mercedes carrying the registration SIDDIK. Clearly it had been 'messed about' but what would it have been issued as. I don't think S 10 DIK would have been issued - for obvious reasons! Any ideas? I am too dim to work it out myself!
