• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 02 1.6 stalling whilst driving (Automatic) 5 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  The vehicle has run fine for years been regularly maintained/serviced etc. I find i can start the car fine, but after several minutes of driving, the car completely cuts out. I get no warning lights, it just switches off as if you have turned the key to switch it off, the power steering disappears, and the brakes go heavy. After 30 minutes of being on the roadside, the car usually starts up again and drives.

• Motability cars and DPF filters? 23 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  If the filter clogs up and can't be cleared by a long drive at high revs then it is a visit to a garage ending up with a large bill. Dealers should ask you about your driving style and recommend a petrol version if the car is only used locally. Some brochure have this warning but as a small print hidden away.

• Driving for a charitable purpose? 14 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  To be fair to these people anything taken from over 100 people goes directly to the charities. Still, £500,000 going in expenses for people to drive round bits of India perhaps better left alone sounds alot to me. If 2000 of us on here gave £100 each less tax, just for example, the charities would end up with their money and India wouldn't be polluted by 50 old motor cars and all the support vehicles.
• Car catches fire during service. What to do? 19 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  She dutifully booked it back in a couple of days later to be fixed. During this repair, her car caught fire ?during the test drive? and the garage told her she needed to claim on her insurance. A subsequent phone call said it was a write off. She told them as they were driving that it was their problem and to claim on their insurance.
