  Is there anything inherently wrong with putting some all season tyres on the front (front wheel drive) and summer tyre son the back? I was thinking of driving to the Alps and the summer tyres I have are apparently awful in the snow, they don;t have much cross tread on them.

• Quick DGS "Manual Auto" question? 29 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Does the clutch take up when you select drive and give you "creep" like a torque converter auto or does it only take up when you press the accelerator? (meaning that with the handbrake on you would select drive, gently press the accelerator, feel the clutch take up and then release the handbrake to pull away)

For the last two days it has been happening quite regulary, even when driving 5mph in traffic. It was serviced a month ago. Could it be the automatic gears or is it a battery fault.

• TDdi vs TDci 3 May 2006 (Forum)
  I'm considering purchasing a Tddi, however, it's cheap from one of these supermarkets and I can't actually test-drive it. It's in mint condition, but how different to drive will it be to Mum's 05 TDci 130 Mondeo Ghia? Will it be louder and rattle more? Obviously it'll be a bit slower, being 15bhp down, but I was more concerned with mechanical refinement...
