• Driving awareness course and Insurance 17 May 2021 (Forum)
  After having a bit of a google about the place I've found that the dvla is not told about speed awareness courses so insurers wouldn;t be able to find out about them...but I'm not sure if that applies to other courses like the one I've mentioned above.  The offence is driving without due care and attention if that helps. Thanks in advance.

  Interesting insight from Avant from when he learned to drive. I had my lessons in a 1964 Vauxhall Viva and practiced, with 'L' plates affixed, in a company van when out and about working. A Bedford CF with column change and three gears. What simple vehicles they were.

• Mitsubishi shogun elegance 2006 - High idling when stopped in drive and reverse 21 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  My EGR valve is capped to stop the excess smoke that was billowing out. But now after 2 years my shogun is idling extremely high when In Drive or reverse in traffic. This isn’t the case when she first starts (starts first time) but gradually builds up as she gets warmer. My mechanic is completely flummoxed. Mitsubishi have said perhaps pump but these are £3000 + so that isn’t an option.
• Useless in the snow and ice - Rear wheel drive auto cars 14 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  My son's E320 auto estate sits on his drive because it is completely unsuitable for this week's icy conditions. Luckily he was able to borrow my A4 for the day to visit his business premises. My view was confirmed by a taxi driver who uses this model for airport runs.
