• Suzuki Vitara - High pitched sound when driving 24 Apr 2024 (Forum)
   I recently bought a 2018 Suzuki Vitara S All Grip Automatic and a few days later it developed a noise when driving. The closest thing I can compare the noise to is a high pitched whistle/buzzing on a phone line. The sound becomes more prominent at faster speeds > 50 mph and also once the car is warmed up (driving for 20+ mins).

• FORD - Cosworth RS 500 28 Feb 2023 (Forum)
    I suppose the buyer will only store it and look at it.  A lot earlier than this I had a test drive in a Cavalier GSI and had never driven a performance car before.  Needless to say it scared the pants of me a bit after only driving a 998cc Austin A40.  Has anyone else a memory of driving a quick car for the first time and what was it?
• Provisional Driving Licence - time to receive? 19 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  I was just wondering if anyone has applied for a provisional driving licence since the service resumed and received it already? My son did so about 10 days ago, nothing received and no email other than the confirmation of application. We're just wondering how long it might take to arrive and when we might be able to start some lessons.

• Mexican driving 5 Sep 2016 (Forum)
      Just got back from Mexico and the driving there is amazing. The roads themselves in the Cancun area are pretty good but the speed limits appear to be put up for decoration. A bus ride is quite an experience, the drivers put the foot to the floor and swerve in and out with gusto.

• Suzuki Swift - Suzuki Swift 7 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  Thinking of changing my K13 Nissan Micra by the end of the year and for all this has been an economical, reliable enough car, there isn't much pleasure in driving it. The dealer is also a Suzuki dealer and I quite like the latest shape Swift as it looks funkier and drives better than the Micra, with similar running costs and five doors. Anyone rekon it would be worth moving across to Suzuki as I know plenty of people who enjoy driving them and they seem reliable enough?

• Any - Any 6 May 2015 (Forum)
  Interesting article from the Telegraph:  A driver selling his car has been banned from driving because the would-be buyer took it for a test drive while uninsured, and was killed in a crash.     The owner was charged with aiding and abetting another using a motor vehicle without third party insurance.
• nissan quasqai 2.0 diesel 2007 - engine cuts out whilst driving 5 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  while driving along today, the engine on our 2.0 diesel just seem to cut out as though the fuel had been cut off and came to a standstill, all lights are showing on dash and are ok and the engine turns over on starter motor but will not start, these models are camchain and not cambelt so i wouldn't suspect the camchain to break, but who knows!!!
• A14 driving etiquette 5 Dec 2013 (Forum)
   I have to drive along the A14 from Suffolk to commute to Cambridge. Some days I will come over a crest and find the outside lane has 0.5 to 1.0 mile packed with cars that are overtaking absolutely nothing apart from an HGV 0.5 to 1.0 ahead.
