• First Car help 16 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  Hello I am hoping that somebody will be able to help me out as I don’t know anything about cars and don’t want to make a mistake when buying my first car. My budget is £4000 and needs to be an automatic and in insurance group 10 or below. I did narrow my options down to a Honda jazz 1.4 cvt or Nissan Micra 1.2/1.4 I have found examples of both with only 30000. Does any body have experience of driving these cars and if so which would they reccomend or is there any other cars that anybody would reccomend I don’t really want anything above a 1.4 as the insurance estimates for both jazz and micra are £2000.
• What car to buy my mum? 15 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  Ideally it would be economical to run, to fix and to tax. She does a fair amount of motorway driving as well as around town. It has to be an automatic, and I’m slightly nervous about her having anything more punchy than a 1.4l engine. She’s not as confident behind the wheel as she used to be. I don’t know much about cars and was hoping someone could give me some good advice on what to go for?

• Vauxhall Omega - Accelerator return spring. 29 Sep 2016 (Forum)
  The hand control rods are fitted to the brake and accelerator pedals close to the pivot points.  Just like any other automatic the car creeps when the brakes are off. The hand control to accelerate is pulled upwards allthough the conecting rod to pedal actualy presses down on the pedal arm but I find the action very stiff and the car jumps forward instead of picking up speed smoothly.
