• First Sign of Winter 31 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  One chap down the Street with a Suzuki SX4 is one of the habitual "let the car idle on the drive for 20 minutes before driving" types. This morning he was just getting it out of the garage as we walked passed and 30 minutes later its still sat there idling happilly away. Totally unbelieveable.

• 1998 Ford Puma - Whining noise 27 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  Road speed related rather than engine speed (sounds the same if you coast in neutral), but sounds much the same (ie same "note") whatever speed. If it was rear wheel drive I'd say it sounded like the differential but presume front drive cars don't have them. Not a wheel bearing. Any ideas gratefully received.
• Skoda Superb - Tyres 19 May 2013 (Forum)
  I am generally pleased with my car except that the front tyres are down to 2mm after only 14,000 miles even though I drive rather sedately. It came with Continental Sport Contact 2 205/55R 16 94V fitted. Can anyone suggest a long lasting tyre? I do not drive faster than 70mph or require particularly good performance in road holding or traction

I know that proof of insurance is required for a new car first registration, and for taxing a car at change of ownership, but a friend here on holiday says that in switzerland the driving licence is required too.

• Hyundai ix35 27 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  Those who read this column regularly will know I'm trying to find a car to accomodate 3 children in the back without paying the earth, and without saying goodbye to the pleasure of driving and economy.  I've never owned a Hyundai, but I like the look of the ix35, the reviews and the fact I can get 3 kids in the back.  I'd buy one now, but for the drive, which reminds me of acquaplaning in a 205.

• economical, reliable car for £5000? 27 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  Hi all I need a secondhand car. I don't want to spend much more than about £5000 because I drive 80 miles a day so it's not worth it. But, I need something very reliable in all weather and which does 55+ mpg (diesel obviously). It is 80% motorway driving too, the mpg needs to be possible at realistic speeds (70-75mph).

• Why will car drivers not reverse, incompetence? 15 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  After a week in Cornwall, where my car appeared to be the only one fitted with a reverse gear, incl being asked to move my non blocking carefully parked car so as to prevent a 35 year old women "struggling" ( her words ) to reverse.
