• Faltering Nissan Cherry 4 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  t seem to rev smoothly. I?ve only had the car for a couple of weeks and to be honest I?m scared to drive it in case it cuts out and won?t restart. Also what petrol should I be using in it?

• Are speed ramps killing my fuel economy? 13 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I'll then drive along this dual carraigeway for 5 miles, before pulling off and driving for another mile through very light (I rarely have to stop bar a single set of lights) urban traffic. I repeat this in the evening, and will often pop down the mile long lane in the evening to the shop etc, and back up.
• 3500 kg limit 28 Jul 2025 (Forum)
  I used to think that in normal category B license one can drive vehicles up to 3500 kg. However, if the vehicle is EV, then weight limit goes up to 4250 kg! https://www.gov.uk/driving-licence-categories Some motorhomes are heavier than 3500 kg which currently requires C1 license (from 3500 to 7500 kg limit).

• Is chip fat diesel making a comeback? 11 Nov 2021 (Forum)
  Some years ago the use of diesel made from reclaimed chip-fryer fat became quite popular for a time but then seemed to fade into relative obscurity. However, in the last few weeks I've smelt that characteristic pong several times, while out driving (and no, I wasn't driving past a fish & chip shop at the time!). Has the recent rise in price of diesel made from crude oil triggered a revival of this more pungent alternative?  
• Toyota Yaris - Google and Licence Varification 17 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  This is or isnt a driving legal matter and I am not sure whether other members have this situation. Google sent me an email to say that to confirm my address I should send a copy of my passport or a copy of driving licence.

• Mid size manual - max 4k miles per year 14 May 2021 (Forum)
  Hi Looking for a mid size manual for my Mum.  She does mainly local driving - up to 4k a year - with the occasional motorway drive once a month.  I was looking at the Jazz but got put off by the high rate of catalytic converter thefts (especially in my area). What would you recommended?
• Speeding on private road 1 Oct 2020 (Forum)
  He was actually stopped by a plod with a laser gun. He’s going to contest it but is concerned that they can change it to dangerous driving or driving without due care and attention. Is there a time limit on how long he can dispute the ticket and it be over time for any other charge? Thanks
• Ride on Lawn Mowers 9 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Okay if it's just to move around an obstruction on the roadside to gain access to more grass, but is it allowed to drive about over a longer distance. I always thought they had to be transported on a trailer.

• Comfortable Seating 19 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  I had a back operation last year and still suffer from lower back pain and pains in the backs of the thighs when sitting. I currently drive a C-Max automatic which is OK-ish but am keen to buy something with very comfortable, ideally electric, seats. I am not too concerned with consumption as I drive relatively low miles, nor really with size.

• Hyundai Ioniq? - Next Car 10 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  Not to sure if I want to go down the diesel route next time, and have been looking at the ioniq. I drive a fair few miles, lots of motorway, and although HJ writes a comprehensive review of this car I would be interested to learn of any owners experiences too. I will be arranging a test drive. Thanks in advance.
