• Motoring Laws 12 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Just found out that you actually commit an offense if you fail to carry with you your documents while driving. OK so you are given a 7 day producer but nevertheless you have committed an offense. Wonder what other motoring laws are around that we don't really know about. Can I still urinate against the side of my cartwheel?

  The elegance model with leather seats costs £700 more. The equipments offered are generous. Though I'm yet to take a test drive, the spec & price seems attracting. Any one own Lancer here? Heard that Mitsubishi parts are expensive.

• Xsara - lubricate clutch cable 20 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  It's approaching 90,000 miles now and "feels" like it needs some grease putting on. Also, it's developed a squeak that's driving me insane. ;-) Car is a 1999 Xsara with the 1.9TD XUD engine, though I'd assume the clutch cable and fitting is identical across the range. Cheers, Dave.

  Under light load it has a severe vibration coming from the drivetrain. It feels like a knackered uj but they look and feel fine, also the cush drive on the front of the prop looks and feels fine. As soon as load is applied the vibration disappears. Do any of you know of any common faults to check

• Best car for £10K 29 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  We need to buy a car (at least 1.5 litre), either a Vauxhall, Mazda or Suzuki (Fiat maybe) for roundabouts 10K. We will be doing less than 8,000 miles/yr in it, mainly semi-rural driving. We have a dog so a sort of long-ish hatchback would be better. What car would you recommend? Are Vauxhalls reliable?
• Peugeot 406 Clutch 20 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  406 March 2000 1.8 cc petrol 75,000 miles The clutch seems to take up the drive with my foot hardly off the floor. Is this normal or is there a possible fault with the self adjusting system? According to the manual, the clutch release mechanism is a 'push type'. It also says that compensation for wear is taken up by the self-adjusting cable or hydraulic clutch components.
