  He suggested it could be to with the gearbox but it dosn't really seem to be any specific gear and its only low speed. I am thinking drive shaft or gearbox problem? Any ideas? The car is driving normally.
• Define Clean Driving Licence 6 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  At the age of nearly 51 I'm giving up doctoring on health grounds, taking a medical retirement and then will look for a low stress job. I actually enjoy driving and even in a city environment I still find it relaxing, so this is the area I will be looking for work. Employers ask for a "clean driving licence". Does this mean no prosecutions showing from any point in time or just no current prosecutions?

• Driving abroad with Xenon lights 28 Apr 2005 (Forum)

• Mondeo clutch problem 9 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I have a 2000 (old shape) Mondeo which has covered just under 60000 miles (manual). The clutch has started to feel odd and is slipping when the drive is taken up. It doesn't feel like normal clutch failure due to clutch plate wear (and I would be surprised at this mileage as my driving style is light on clutches). When I say odd it seems that when you release the pedal it appears as though the drive is taken up quite slowly even if you release the pedal instantly (makes it very difficult to move into a small gap but virtually impossible to stall!).
• Short Journeys & Gentle Driving 12 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  IIRC, it was in a recent Technical thread that someone stated that short journeys and gentle driving (generally in small cars…mine is a Jazz) were the catalytic converters worst enemy. My driving comes mainly in this category (apart from a 60 mile Motorway trip in the Grandpa Lane once or twice a month).

• Two Wheel Drive Danger 12 Dec 2003 (Forum)
