  How can I get my SORN car to a garage? 9 Dec 2013 (Ask HJ)
  How can I get my car on SORN to a garage for a service? My car has been off the road and I want to sell it, but am reluctant to tax and insure it just...
• 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.

• Does your car make you smile 17 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  Heres the deal. I have 20k to buy a car. After driving around in a 51 plate Laguna for the last 3+ years I could finally get myself something newer. My Laguna Privilege has been enjoyable to drive but it is now starting to get one fault after another.

• 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.

• European Roap Trip - MkII 8 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Hi All We're going to drive across to my sister in Linz, Austria again this year, but this time I've got a bit ambitious, and want to take an even greater detour. The trip to Linz is just over 15 hours driving according to Google Maps.
• Police trip up - Monty keeps driving (& putting) 11 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  The case marks the second time that Mr Montgomerie has eluded a speeding charge in three years. In September 2004 he was accused of driving at 96mph on the A3, near his Surrey home. The case collapsed after one of the arresting police officers failed to turn up at court for the case. Mr Montgomerie's solicitor, Nick Freeman, was known for his success in using legal technicalities to get celebrity clients, including Sir Alex Ferguson and David Beckham, acquitted for driving offences.
• Parking outside my house 22 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I decided to leave the Xantia on the road for a few days and it has now caused the neighbour who lives opposite to complain that he can't reverse out onto the road because of the Xantia's postion. Now I don't park opposite his drive but I do park on my side of the road, either side of his drive. If I leave it one side of his drive, he can't reverse out one way (in his opinion), if I leave the other side, he can't reverse out the other way.
• Help! I'm turning into my Dad!!! 16 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  I come home from work persecution-complex free as I *know* that I've not triggered any speed cameras. And I can drive everywhere knowing that if our local constabulary do pull me, then it's for a damned good reason. Actually, this getting older and driving sensibly malarkey is quite good, isn't it? I'm actually quite happy to turn into my Dad.
• Local plod gets tough! 26 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  This much is true! But, for reckless driving, drunken driving or driving 60km/h over the limit, you'll be hauled in front of a magistrate who can slap you with a fine of up to R24,000 and/or a spell in jail (NAG).
• VARS Drive Off Notice 4 May 2024 (Forum)
  We've received a VARS drive off notice from a petrol station in Bristol we've never been to. We live in Devon and were in Exeter for a hospital appointment on 11th April, the date in question. So it definitely wasn't us. The CCTV photo is useless - its the same model and colour, but you can't read the number plate at all.
• Ford Mustang - Hands free driving 16 Apr 2023 (Forum)
  Ford have announced today that they’ve been given permission to offer hands free motorway driving in their Mustang. Instead of the current situation whereby the car with a self steer function gets you to put your hands back on the wheel after a few seconds, now it’ll use existing driver awareness cameras to monitor the driver and permit hands off on motorways.
• Electric seats - worth extra cost? 26 Jun 2022 (Forum)
  Typically electric seats are offered in higher trims which costs extra £££. I am wondering whether they are worth paying for - especially when no else drives my car?  I can see the advantage for them when multiple people driving it but in my case once I manually set seat position I don't need to change it again unless someone drives e.g. during servicing, repair etc.

• Vauxhall 3 day test drive offer 26 Oct 2020 (Forum)
  Has anybody taken up the offer of the 3 day test drive Vauxhall are offering at the minute? Obviously there is no such thing as a free lunch and I know they ask you to fill out a questionnaire on the car when you are finished which will obviously then be used in a sales pitch to you at the end.
