• MOT Validity 22 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  If I get the MOT test done early, e.g. the start of march, and it fails, does that invalidate my current MOT or is that still valid until the 1st April? i.e. If it failed an MOT at the start of March can I continue to drive until the 1st April using my old certificate?

• Any - Drink & Drugs Clause in Car Insurance 7 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  I've just renewed my insurance with a well known on line company. Much to my surprise there is a clause denying insurance to me if I am convicted for driving under drink or drugs. Third party insurance remains. Anyone else come across such a draconian and aggressive stance?
• Renault Scenic 19 Diesel - Intermitent electronic fault warning light 26 Feb 2011 (Forum)

• Any - Ebay sellers 13 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  I've jst had a wasted journey to see a VW on ebay. It's a shame the vendor described car as driving 'spot on' when it doesn't. The vendor knew this.  Why can't people just be honest in the description?  A few moths ago I saw a car advertised in minute detail. The seller did this because he didn't want to run the risk of negative feedback.

  I realise all Diesels will have DPFs fitted before long, does that mean that they will all be unsuitable for town driving due to regeneration issues? Many thanks

  Diesel DTi. Can anyone confirm whether the drive on this is belt or chain ? Also, I'd like an idea of cost of replacement, whether it's best to also replace the water pump at the same time and, if so, the likely combined cost. Many thanks.
