• V50 AWD? 4 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Am I right in thinking the V50 as mentioned in the news section is basically the estate variant of the V40, meaning its based on the Ford C-Car platform? If so, the availabilty of an all-wheel drive version suggests good news for people holding out for a (the longed promised) 4x4 Cosworth Focus...

• Ford Transit gearbox 11 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  I'm a part-time professional driver (people) and often have to drive a Ford Transit minibus (M-reg) which is difficult to get into first gear. An hour in slow-moving traffic leads to an extremely painful left arm. Is it a foregone conclusion that a solution to this problem is difficult and expensive?

• Headlight masking 19 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Is any old black tape suitable for masking headlamps for continental driving. It has been suggested that some tapes can absorb enough heat to crack the glass or melt the acrylic on some newer headlamps. Bought masking material is not very expensive, but is the silver backing and special (removable) adhesive worthe the cost?

• Motoring - France 17 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  Having had out holiday flights 'withdrawn' by RyanAir , we now face a long drive to the Dordogne this summer. Do we trust the internet routeplanners (which seem to route by utilising maximum percentage of distance on Motorway) or can someone recomend a good route from Cherbourg to Belves (20m west of Sarlat).
