• All - Indicators 23 Feb 2022 (Forum)
  ocid=msedgdhp">Drivers risk £5,000 fine and nine penalty points for simple indicator mistakes (msn.com)  I think this article is a bit OTT, but I bring this up because of things I have seen whille out in the truck, and confirms for me that new drivers automatically have a handicap because INSTRUCTORS ARE NOT TEACHING THEM RIGHT.     1 ~ Cars from the same school both coming onto a main road, both have to turn left or right as there is no way of going straight on, yet neither of them are teaching the pupil to indicating their intent.

• Vauxhall Meriva - Shocking MPG 29 Aug 2021 (Forum)
  Apart from a slight squeaking noise while idling - which the mechanic said is just the new tensioner belt he fitted needing tightening a bit, a code comes up when starting the engine asking for an oil change which was done last year as part of the full winter service. The mechanic said it comes up automatically at 50000 miles and I checked the oil level which is fine and the oil is still straw coloured. There doesn’t seem to be anything else wrong. What could be causing this sudden major drop in mpg?
• Honda Jazz - Is it wear & tear or the garage had done a bad job 9 Jul 2021 (Forum)
  Hi. My car is Honda Jazz Automatic 2010 year model. Back in July 2019, the car passed the MOT at Honda garage with advisory saying: Repair as soon as possible (minor defects): Nearside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated (5.3.4 (b) (i)) I immediately sent it to another independent garage (the cost is cheaper than Honda garage) to fix it and paid the total cost of £108 Today the car just passed MOT with the same advisory as below: Repair as soon as possible (minor defects): Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated Split (5.3.4 (b) (i)) I was shocked to see this.
• VW Golf MK7 - Strange happpenings. 13 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  After an hour or less we go back to the car via the pay station and pay for our time. When we approach the exit barriers it should lift automatically (ANPR) the barriers but doesn't so have to offer up our ticket to the scanner. Right having set the scene. After we left, the first week an Amber warning Triangle appeared on my instruments and this was due apparently to a front parking sensor not working.
