• Another automatic question 10 Nov 2022 (Forum)
  I've always wondered whether, when you're waiting at a junction or in a traffic jam, it's best to put the car into neutral or leave it in Drive but put your foot on the brake or apply the handbrake?

  I was travelling towards the M3 in a 70 limit. The lights changed, I slammed on the brakes and came to a stop a few feet over the line. The camera flashed twice,probably showing that I was in the same place on both photos. Do you think I will get done? Thank you!

  I bought the new model Polo last December. Has anyone had problems with either squeeky brakes or water ingress/leakage into the hatch (if leakage, may be from rear wash-wipe). I'll get them done under warranty - but I'm just interested to know if others have experienced this. Best wishes, frmarcus

• Rover 'knocking' noise 22 May 2003 (Forum)
  I haven't driven my car for a while (Rover 220sdi) and after jacking up the car and checking the front brakes, following a post yesterday, I took it for a spin. As soon as I pulled away there was a loud knocking noise coming from the rear of the car - this lasted a while but has now dissapeared. Any ideas what it was?
• Front discs 13 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  They were only two years old and I have done 15,000 miles on them. Perhaps I don't use the car enough or brake hard enough? Thanks.
• Jeep Recalls 2 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Anyone see/hear this article on the news this lunchtime? I just caught the end of it. Looked like problems with brake hubs shearing. Trouble is I couldn't make out whether it was just Cherokees or Grand Cherokees as well. Either way I'd better book my next service early if the garage is going to be busy with recall work!
