• 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!

• Driving and hands free mobile phones - a bad idea 3 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  "Another study coming out of the University of Utah Applied Cognition Lab has concluded that driving while talking on the phone is a really bad idea, even if using hand-free kit." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/02/hands_free_danger/ The study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology (pdf), http://www.psych.utah.edu/AppliedCognitionLab/JEP_A_2008.pdf
• 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.

• mondeo misfire? 7 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  when i drive my mondy i get a misfire at about 2500 to 3000 rpm. it's ok when accelerating and it's ok at idle, it just misfires when i coast or on gentle deceleration. it's a 2000 zetec 16v 1998 and it's 100k+ miles. the fuel economy is really good most of the time as i do motorway driving and i dont drive it hard.
• Bad driving Website 30 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Featured on BBC Points West Local News last night - www.hogline.co.uk A website set up by an unidentified person to allow the reporting of bad driving. Insurance companies will be charged to view the resulting info. I assume the police will have free access but will they have the time to take an interest? It is a membership service to try and stop spoof messages Anybody think of any possible libel implications?

• NIP 26 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  I have recently received NIP for speed driving at 52mph under 40mph restriction on motorway. I have been asked to pay £100 fine and also been offered for DAS. I have got non EU driving licence, and my driving test is been booked for 10/11, can I just pay the fine and send them the copy of my non EU licence or would I be asked for any other document after that.
• Ford Galaxy - An issue on a test drive 11 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  Hello all Well i went to available car and found a 2010 ford galaxy 2.0 tdci zetec , 50k miles 3 owners £10k fair price for a galaxy , all was good till test drive, its an automatic and idling in park was good, we gave it some and sounded as normal etc, only from PARK to DRIVE then it started to judder, low revs and then cuts out. Tried a few times and same thing, once you start moving though it works fine, got plenty of power, smooth gear changing etc , until you slow at a junction, it starts to judder slightly but doesnt cut out, just seems to do it when you first pop it in Drive ..
• any - Cars driving down motorway lanes with RED X 22 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  This caused slow traffic in the three outer lanes and as we got too the accident cars were driving down the closed lane at 70+ whilst the traffic officers were standing in the nearside lane waving the cars over. These officers were risking their lives to protect others. These ignorant selfish numpties should be banned for life from driving.
