• Fiat Uno Turbo ie - Did anyone drive one of these? 10 Jun 2024 (Forum)
  I remember driving one of these years ago and couldn’t believe the acceleration. Didn't realise it was only a puny 120 bhp.. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202404058334705?sort=relevance&advertising-location=at_cars&lat-long=53.007768833320625%2C%20-2.295838638126659&make=Fiat&model=Uno&page=1&fromsra

  Need to replace the drive shafts in my 2003 ZZE 1.6 vvti Verso but there are two possible versions . one with 20 slides and one with 23  where it fits in the gearbox. Main dealer price £1200 so more than the car is worth.
• any - car with little use parked on drive 30 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  I'm looking to buy a nice second car probably spending 10 to 15K, the only thing is it will have relatively little use maybe average  50 - 100 miles a week (not short journeys)  It would sit on the drive exposed to elements. I am mindful that the car might deteriorate. Is this a valid concern or am I worrying about nothing?
• Does anybody not enjoy driving manuals? 21 May 2018 (Forum)
  Recently swapped car and ended up with a manual as it was a good deal and I still really like the car but it is irritating me that I didn’t find another automatic. Hoping I forget about the pleasure of driving an auto or I can’t see me buying a manual car again.
• Any - Driving Licence Photo Renewal 14 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  I have just uncovered a new stealth TAX on the motorist.  In the last month or so both me and my wife have been sent forms for the renewal of our driving licence Photo's with £20 to pay for the priviledge. So it seems the government are getting their ID card fees anyway. This is a blatant TAX on the motorists of the UK and a very nice little earner for DVLA.
• Driving on one front light 15 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  I'm not on about the guy how has one headlight working but only a sidelight on the other, but those who seem to think its acceptable to drive with a headlight on one side but ziltch on the other... ie you think you are approaching a motorbike only to find that there's a whole car coming towards you!! Madness!

• Volkswagen Golf II (1983 - 1992) - Selling Car Privately - Test Drive Insurance 7 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  I'm selling a car, a first for me, and was wondering what to do if someone wants to test drive the car. Do I take their word that they are correctly insured (they won't be under the car's policy), or should I ask for proof? The car is only worth £300-400.
• Defensive Driving Courses in Edinburgh/Lothians 21 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Does anyone know of organisations running defensive driving courses in the Edinburgh/Lothians region? I'm thinking of buying the missus one for her birthday, as she could do with some - ahem - "development" in areas of hazard perception, anticipation, etc. and generally protecting herself against the idiots who seem to flood the roads.
