  Also, car may get taken away if uninsured on public road  or fines etc...   The other option is to drive the car off road somewhere else, but can the Son drive it to do this? If insurance is not renewed. Then it will need to SORN and it is a pain for test driving a car.... As have to insure and re-tax.

• Driving test rules? 5 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  Fortunately, I've passed my driving and riding tests. I'm not aware of any books that list the rules and what is expected in the tests. Why does the DSA not publish a set of rules so that people know how to drive during the test? When I did my riding test I had to do  a whole day of tuition to find out what I didn't know.

• 07 Mazda 6 2.0 TS Diesel - Loss of Power: 2007 Mazda 6 2.0 TS Diesel 8 Dec 2013 (Forum)
   This didn't cure it.  "Current" fuel consumption readings as I drive are good suggesting that the DPF isn't trying to regenerate as I'm driving.  The error code said "mass air flow sensor".  I had that changed, but the problem is still there.  Driving to and from work etc is a 15-20 minute drive and the car performs fine.

• Volkswagen Passat TDI 130 2001 - Overheating at 50+ Heaters blowing cold 7 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  There is no sign of water in the oil (or vise versa) even after the 1000 miles i did in 2 days driving to Italy. I have now flushed the water system with holts 2 step and still have the problem. If i am not driving and hold the revs 2000-3000 RPM on the drive it does not seam to bother it, the heaters will warm a little but not hot then soon as you go drive the car and get 45-50MPH plus it starts to rise and if you dont drop the speed the water temp gauge would hit red.

• Test driving a new car 18 May 2011 (Forum)
  Then, after planning in my head a good route that would take about 20-30 mins taking in different road types and a bit of motorway, I was treated to being driven by the rep 5mins down the 30mph heavy traffic road and then being allowed to drive it back again to the showroom. We got out, he parked the car and then just wandered back to his desk. I have a few more test drives planned for the coming week but this has somewhat put me off a bit.
