• National speed limit 50 15 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  The government is to cut the national speed limit from 60mph to 50mph on most of Britain?s roads, enforced by a new generation of average speed cameras. The reduction , to be imposed as early as next year, will affect two thirds of the country?s road network. Drivers will still be able to reach 70mph on motorways and dual carriageways and 60mph on the safest A roads.

• VW Golf diesel or turbo diesel? 22 May 2006 (Forum)

• Auction view 27 May 2005 (Forum)
  On HJs auction report he states: "As always the best way to look for a specific car coming up at auction or to pre-check a day?s sale is to visit www.auctionview.co.uk This service also now gives composite price information (average auction price, CAP and Glass?s) and now allows you to buy a selection of cars directly on-line" I subscribed for 50 searches on auction view, but I cannot see any composite price information.
• Cavalier handbrake problem. 15 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I have replaced the rear drums and shoes, both sides, with new ones. I have adjusted the self-adjusters. The n/s brake locks on a gravel track at low speed, the o/s one does not - it still comes on though. What can I do to balance the braking effort? I need an MOT most urgently!
• Volvo Wheel Swop? 24 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  My boss has 17" 'Thor' alloys on his 2002 V70 2.4 SE and would prefer 16"ers (better ride comfort for all the motorway miles he does). Is there anyone out there (with say a V70 S or even an S60 S) who would be interested in swopping from the smaller Mimas / Electra or similar 16 inchers to the 17" Thors? Condition of his wheels is average - there are a few parking 'dings' and I would need to check on tyre condition.
