• Drifting Merc 10 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Is the C class (2000-) known for drifting to the left when the hands are taken off the wheel while driving on the motorway? I tested an 18,000 miler approved used c220 cdi with new tyres and even with slight reverse camber it did it - the salesman said they all do it.

• Mystery Toyota 22 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Whilst driving on the M3 outside Winchester on Monday I was overtaken by a nice-looking black Toyota saloon, badged 'WINDOM'. It had a square rear no. plate which I think denotes a grey import. Does any backroomer have any info on it?

  Does anyone konw if the cameras on the variable speed section of the M25 actually work? As anyone got a ticket from driving around this section? The lower speed limits appear to be generally ignored and there are only one or two cameras in this section that I've ever seen actually flash.

  Not particularly exciting to drive but look after it and it’ll run and run. A great cheap runabout. Nissan Micra 1.2 K12 - One of the last reliable Nissan’s. Simple and robust yet cute and good to drive these are also cheap as chips now.
• Lexus RX 450h - Lexus Dealership 1 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  I then via my Physiotherapist, referred myself to South East Driveability for an assessment on my driving abilities, my condition as expected deteriorated, albeit much quicker than expected. Their findings were to meet expected DVLA driving standards, I was to be retrained to drive, with a left foot accelerator, I went back to Lexus who found me a firm who carried out conversions to cars, a left foot accelerator could not be fitted to this particular vehicle due to the location of the foot parking brake.
• Ford Fiesta (2008) - Fiesta - overheating, radiator leak...gasket gone? 15 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  I would appreciate some advice on some problems I've had with my fiesta.  On Sunday afternoon I was driving and the engine unexpectedly and very quickly began to overheat.  I stopped driving when the temp gauge shot up, and we put warm water into the coolant tank and that seemed to solve the problem sufficiently for me to get the last mile or so to my parents' house.
