• That Nissan Pop-Up! 7 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Sorry, I don't normally complain about pop-ups on this site but that Nissan pop-up is driving me nuts. The roll down one is bad enough but I appreciate this site has got to pay its way. The new pop-up appears on every screen and clicking on it in the hope it will then go away only gives a "page cannot be displayed" error!!!
• 04 Passat headlight adjust for France 21 May 2005 (Forum)
  Hi there I'm about to go to France in the very near future and I've been told there's a switch to adjust the headlight beam for driving on the right. The headlights aren't easy to get to and I'm not having much luck - is this one for the garage to do? Any tips/guidance from anyone who's successfully done this? Thanks Nigel
• Citroen Saxo VTR rear suspension 14 May 2005 (Forum)
  My son's 1999 VTR appears to have a rear wheel with lots of play in it although the car drives reasonably. He's been told naff rear suspension is a common saxo problem but also has little faith in the local (Milton Keynes)dealer network- as do I. IS IT a common thing and is there an acceptable DIY fix?
• Seat Ibiza Differential 5 May 2005 (Forum)
  He has been told it is his front differentials. What is the front differential - is it the same as a drive shaft? Will it need fixed asap, or can he leave it for a while and save some cash to get it done later? Many Thanks CMM
• Where to get an MOT 3 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  People talk of having them done at County Council Transport Depots, but Cambridgeshire don't seem to do them and I'd rather not drive to Bedford for a MOT. Are there any other 'categories' of establishment that might fit the bill?

• Honest John Radio 2 (Edit: last night)? 30 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Last night whilst driving to work with the Johnnie Walker show on, I am sure Johnnie said that Honest John is on tonight (Thursday) talking about the closure of motorways after accidents. Is this correct and is it the 18.30hrs slot?

• Off Roading 12 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Had a great day yesterday being "familiarised" with landrovers & trailers in order to get my MOD MT Driving Permit. Had to take a landrover with a 3/4 ton trailer off road and boy was it fun. Almost as good as doing aerobatics. Almost, but not quite. Looking forwards now to spending the bank holiday weekend bazzing about catterick garrison in a landie.

• New Golf 23 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Sat in one and have to say was a bit underwhelmed. But I've got a 5 year old Passat (1.8T) which has been brilliant, and drives as well as ever after 80K miles. Or maybe an A3....
• '97 Polo - falling apart 9 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  It led to a narrow black plastic vent at the left side of the engine. I know this is probably very basic but does anyone know what it is and also is the car safe to drive home to a mechanic? The car seems to running fine without it.
• Red Routes 2 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Another morbid topic. I regularly drive on a Red Route (A631/A46) and hence am regularly reminded of the deaths that have occured on that route. Unfortunately I don't know how long the route is so the figures tend to lose a bit of their impact.
