• New charge for killer driver 24 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tees/7796018.stm This driver was locked up for eight years for 'causing death by careless driving while under the influence of drink'. He pulled across a junction into the path of another car - a momentary lapse - hence it's careless not dangerous driving. It's a new charge, the court was told, introduced earlier this year.

• Noisy Cars 15 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  I have a new neighbour 3 doors up and he has a customised Impreza. Now when he starts engine it is left idling for a while before he drives away. Both whilst it is idling and driving, the noise it makes is ridiculous. You can feel it vibrate through the house, it is enough to waken you. This is exhaust / engine noise, not radio! Is there rules on how noisy cars can be?

• Noisy V reg Daewoo Matiz 6 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Strange 'drumming' noise coming from I think the front near side drive shaft area. Noise increases with speed and remains when clutch operated at speed to drop the engine revs, therefore seems connected with drive shaft not engine. No obvious play in wheel bearings.No leaks apparent from driveshaft area.
• Stiff 2nd gear - mondeo td 17 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Hi All. I have a 97 Mondeo TD. When I first start driving the car is very stiff to get into 2nd gear.(1,3,4,5,R, are fine). After about 5 mins of driving it second gear becomes much smoother to get in like it should do. Any ideas why this is happening?

• Nissan Almera 8 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I am think of buying a 2000 Nissan Almera Tino 2.2 diesel. When I took it for a test drive the car pulled to the left. The garage has checked out the wheel aliengment(slight adjustment required) and replaced the front tyres.They say that this has solved the problem. I am going to test drive it again -but should there be anything else I should be looking out for?

• getting better MPG. 6 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  In a climate of ever increasing fuel costs, what are the best ways to extract as many MPG as you can out of your cars? Is there any truth in better MPG when you drive around with windows shut or never having a full fuel tank? I know switching off a/c and never driving with a roof rack helps but anyone got any other tips?
• Sunglasses 11 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Wonder if anyone else has the same problem? I don't wear specs, and I am most reluctant to put on sunglasses when driving - usually only do so when forced to drive into early morning/late evening sun. The reason is, I find they have a sort of blinkering effect on me - I am much less aware of what is happening on the periphery and even a little insecure.
