• New SORN laws 2 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  It will not be used in this time (we have a spare). If I do not go and sorn it today, will I receive an automatic £80 fine? If I do sorn it, is the effect of the sorn automatically cancelled when I re-tax it, or is there a load more paperwork to fill in? Before you all say it, yes, I should have put the MOT renewal date in the diary......
• Audi 80 lumpy idling 19 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  My 1986 Audi 80 1.6 petrol (Pierburg 2E2 carburettor with automatic choke)is running well when the engine is under load (i.e. it goes well when you have your foot on the accelerator), and runs well when it is cold (the automatic choke keeps the revs high). When the engine has warmed up, it still runs well under load, but when it is idling it is very lumpy and occasionally stalls.
• A laugh, a song, and a Citroen BX 8 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  I think the automatic choke is sticking on, as after a happy start, as the engine gets warmer, it loses power until it stalls altogether. Initially it drove well (on the test drive, and on Friday) so it's an intermittent fault.

• 1 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  By his logic, manual car drivers must be lethal yet we never hear of such a case. It is just a case of old people driving automatics who should not be driving.

• Smartpen 31 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  I am very sceptical about the effectiveness of this and wondered if anyone had any experience of using it. In particular I cannot understand the claim that it automatically matches the colour of the paintwork.

• Speeding in France 9 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  I read in the French press that tourists, doctors, lawyers and the handicapped enjoy "automatic leniency" when it somes to speeding. Has any user of The Back Room ever been "done" for speeding in France? Certainly, the police there are seldom to be seen on the roads.

• Nissan Micra K12 - Daylight sensor 31 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  Hardly a showstpper problem, but does anyone know where the daylight sensor for the automatic headlights is? SWMBO's headlights stay on in the daytime with the switch  in "auto", so either the sensor has failed or something is obscuring it.
