• Any car petrol or diesel - ECO Drive plug in module 14 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  They are supposed to work any car whether it’s diesel or petrol. The blurb says: EcoDrive is a "plug and drive" device that plugs directly into your OBD2 connector. Any car built after 1996 has an OBD2 connector built into the dashboard, and it's very easy to access. Has anyone bought one of these please?

• 1 series - Driving ban advice 18 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  Basically I've bin caught speeding doing 94 in a 50 zone (I know I've bin an idiot, holds hands up) I already have 10 points from just over 2 years ago, so far I've just received a letter asking if it's me driving, obv I will say it was. But my questions are as follows Do I pay nearly a £1000 for a lawyer ? Is there a chance of getting a short ban as solicitors keep saying I can? How long will I be banned for?
• How to drive safely in snow and ice 15 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  Another winter driving tip: If you are using your windscreen wipers, when you come to the end of your journey remember to switch them off before you switch the ignition off. The wipers will go to their 'parked' position (front and rear wipers).

• Renault captur 1.5 d 0n a 65 plate - clutch judder 13 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  Over the last couple of weeks we've noticed the clutch snatches when pulling away, it's almost like you are dumping it as you drive off, this occures in 2nd and 3rd but to a lesser extent. It's a manual. My wife knows how to drive and use a clutch so it's not her style of driving. Anyone else had this problem? I've also noticed that the offside front wheel bearing appears to be making a noise and today the rear hatch failed to stay up when lifted.
• Suzuki Swift - Suzuki Swift 11 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  I'm considering changing my 11 plate Micra in the next few months as it's low on driving enjoyment and would like something a bit newer and more fun to drive with similar running costs. The local Nissan dealer also sells Suzukis and Hyundais and the newer shape Swift looks quite tempting and retails for about the same as a Micra.

• Toyota - Car Insurance Question 1 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  I have comprehensive insurance on the car, with my hubby also added to the insurance.  If we get another car in my hubby's name, can I drive it as a third party driver (under my insurance) before we get insurance on the car ? Legally I can drive any car under my comprehensive insurance policy, so just wanted to check if the car itself should also be covered under insurance even if my hubby won't drive it when we bring it home for the first time ?

  important;"> Insurance   along with most car insurers, will ask prospective policyholders for their Driving Licence Numbers. This unique 16-character sequence displayed on the driving licence will be used to obtain records   from the Driver  and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) on the type of licence a driver holds, how long they have held it, and whether they have any driving convictions.

• Driving Licence Categories 4 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Morning all, I am going to have to drive a Transit van next month and when casually looking at the back of my licence, I saw there was no van just car and....er...milk float. I thought something like a Transit van was in the same category as car but looking at both my Mum and Dad's licences, I notice they have a picture of a van, and a whole load of other stuff.
