  My Ford Focus' speedometer has started dropping to zero. What's wrong with it? 22 Aug 2010 (Ask HJ)
  My 51-plate Ford Focus' speedo has just started dropping to zero while driving along. The rest of the dash is ok, the rev counter is fine and the mileage...

  Photocarp 21 Aug 2010 (Ask HJ)
  I have just received a demand from the DVLA for £20 to renew my driving licence photograph as it "will shortly reach its expiry date". I have held a licence...

  Skid plan 20 Mar 2010 (Ask HJ)

• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 01 1.6 Creaking suspension ?? What could it be? 15 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Now after 2 weeks of driving just locally, my car sounds like i'm driving 'an old metal bedstead'..it creaks really badly on all turns now and I can even hear it on straight roads, although not as loud. Could this be the anti roll bar bushes have been damaged, or messed up with the salt & grit from snow or something much worse & am I causing more harm by continuing to drive it ??
• Compulsory driver training for 4x4 owners 16 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Being many miles from a doctor, this was a serious situation. Following this incident the company made everyone complete an off road driving course. As 4x4s are generally large, heavy, specialised vehicles, should they be in a class of their own that requires a special licence to drive like HGVs?
• pointless travelling 1 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Spoke to him today, and he told me that he just returned from a tour of the Wester Isles ( Western Isles ? ), driving that cherry picker ( looks like it's based on a Nissan Cabstar ) from London, having left London at 4pm , getting to Thurso (?) at 8am next day, no rest. He did a day there before driving to the Isles via a 6 hour ferry crossing somewhere.
• Driving in Norfolk 4 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  So been driving a lot in Norfolk the last few days. It's like another world. For one they have lots of one-way roads, but everybody and I mean everybody just ignores them and drives both ways up and down them. I am genuinely staggered at such widespread wilful disobedience of one-way roads.
• Recreational motoring - your thoughts. 26 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  For the great majority of people driving is a chore and the car is no more than a wheeled washing machine, a domestic appliance. However, I'm sure that among most members of the backroom, there is a deeper appreciation of motoring and its nicities and perhaps even a genuine enthusiasm for driving.
• What's the work situation like for drivers? 3 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  d rather stick to a rigid. I hear that driving work has also really slowed down recently with many drivers out of work. Bearing in mind my length of time out of the driving seat (I know I?d need to get a digital tacho card), any ideas if there is much work out there at all?

  Pedal toe the metal 28 Feb 2009 (Ask HJ)
  My grand-daughter was driving her 2001 VW Polo in the outside lane of the M25 last week when her clutch system failed. Fortunately, with the aid of flashers,...
• Automatics - I'm a convert 21 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Now I know about the different types of auto, CVT, DSG, i-Shift and so on but what are they like to drive in full auto mode? I have heard good and bad reports on reliablity but it's more to do with the driving experience. It would be a new model anyway as I know the technology is improving all the time.
• Do you ever feel 'fear' whilst driving? 20 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  I'd love to hear of the circumstances around which other people have 'lost control' or felt 'fear' whilst driving. Simon
• Small lorry test 17 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  My dad's broken his heel and won't be able to drive for some time. Since we breed horses this puts a bit of a crimp in plans for taking my sister to events and delivering and collecting horses, for example. I'm 21 and have been driving for over 4 years now, which I assume means I can take the test to get up to 7.5 tonne entitlement on my license.
• Lymington to Berwick-upon-Tweed and back 11 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  I am driving from Lymington to near Berwick next week. Will have husband, son (14) and two dogs on board. Depending on negotiations presently on-going, my 19 year old son and his girlfriend will be coming with us or going in the micra (son driving) in tandem with us on the way up, as it will be his first very long drive.
• Driving licence - Not changed address! 16 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Guess what? Yes, i got stopped the other night for 38mph in a 30mph. I now have to produce my driving licence to the police to be sent off. My questions are: a. Am i in more trouble for not notifying the DVLA of change of address? b. Any tips/advice on what my reasons were for not changing earlier?
• Slow driving 28 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  When someone gets behind me I'll then speed up, but often find a sensible pull off to let them past and resume my gentle pace. Does wonders for fuel economy and my stress levels too. Driving for pleasure so often these days seems to mean "as fast as the road conditionss permit, legal or not", which interests me not one jot. Is that unusual? Anyone else? 43, before you ask.
• Worst Test drive 22 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I was just wondering what people's worst test drive experinces were? I drove a 2 year old Honda CR-V today, with the usual blurb of 1 owner 27k miles, fsh etc etc, and on the surface looked like a very nice car. During the test drive the car accelerated very poorly ("Its a characteristic of the honda VTEC engine sir!"
