• yellow dashed line bus stop markin on dropped kerb 8 Nov 2015 (Forum)
    Clearly you cannot park in that rectangle but you can drive over it. Is i ok to drive across to access the house's drive ?   I have no idea which was built first, the dropped kerb or bus shelter, and the property is empty (maybe a probate sale) so nobody to ask about it at the property.
• VW/Golf - Drive Shaft 9 May 2011 (Forum)
  Evening all, I was driving home a few days ago when there was a popping/snapping noise, the engine remained on, but if you pressed the accelerator there was no power. My local garage say the problem is the front off side drive shaft, which has snapped in half and that a replacement is needed .

• Nissan Micra Auto 2001 Y reg 998cc - Gearbox Problem???? 27 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    I've never had any problems with this car until yesterday.  I went into neutral cos I stopped at a junction, but I tried to drive off, and go back into Drive, it went into Drive no problem, but it WOULD NOT  go forward!! I tried reverse, and it can do that, so i tried Drive again, but it just wouldn't go forward! RAC came out and said it's the gearbox and would be £800 to replace!!

• First time continental drive - any advice? 13 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  In all my earlier trips to continental Europe earlier (though I've nerver been to Austria/Germany) I never drove and always used public transport. This is the first time I'm planning to drive (not from UK, I'll hire a car from Vienna) Thinking of driving on wrong side of the road makes me a bit scary. So, what advise you folks have? I plan to hire an automatic as I shall have time to concentrate on roads rather than fighting with gearstick in wrong hand!
• Saab 900 auto box no drive 26 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Sometimes, particularly when the car is hot especially after say being on a motorway then slowing down, when moving off from a standstill drive is lost then suddenly comes in with a bang and we're off. The other day in traffic it got so bad that i could not get up a hill and had to leave the car for 20mins before it cooled down and drive was regained.

• Returning to Drive Legally 17 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  His current car has been off the road all year tax has gone, mot has gone. How does he legally get the car back on the road when he needs to drive to the mot station without road tax (can't get without mot), he will obviously insure it but will this be void in the case of a stop or an accident without a valid mot. Is the only legal route to have uplifted to the mot station or is it ok to make an appointment and drive there.

  Surely some system can be devised to stop people taking this risk and hiking up our premiums, I'm paying roughly the same now as what I was when I first started driving, despite being older with full no claims driving a lower ins group car!
• WRX test drive 16 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  Just back from a test drive of a new WRX. It had the prodrive kit which takes it to about 250bhp (a cheeky extra £1800 too). Must admit I was expecting it to feel quick but it just didn't. I suppose it's cos it grips so well there is no drama at all.
• UK Driving Licence Check Code 10 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  Since the introduction of the new paperless UK driving licence information system, has anybody been asked for the "check code" when renting a car abroad? I have rented cars in Europe and the US on numerous occasions and have only been asked for my plastic photocard, never the code (or a printout of the information I always bring with me.)
