  I often have to drive home very late at night on ungritted country roads. I don't really like snow chains, but I have heard you can now get 'auto socks' a kind of woolly thing you put over your tyres to give more grip on packed snow and ice (honest!).

• Hesitant S60 15 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  My 2.0T S60 has begun to stutter and hesitate for the first few minutes of driving from 'cold'. It can be quite jerky and just has no go at low revs. After a few minutes it improves and finally all is well again, until the next 'cold' start. It's not like the engine is missing, it's almost as if not enough fuel or air is getting through.

  It is now compulsory in some EU countries to have a refective jacket in in your car Austria and Italy for sure I think Germany later this year.One other unrelated subject the much vaunted German toll system for trucks that uses high end technology and cost millions {against the sticker in the window in Austria}does not work very well and does not pick up trucks that are driving without paying.
• Road pricing per mile VOL I 10 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4610755.stm 1) So the French can drive for free on our roads? 2) Civil liberties? 3) I can't believe that the government will not vary the cost depending on how "green" your car is....although I do like the simplicity of the idea if not point 1 and 2.

• X-Type spontaneous combustion? 5 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Hi all - a neighbour of mine's X-Type caught fire whilst parked overnight on his drive a few days ago. Apparently the Fire Brigade have ruled out foul play and it appears some sort of wiring fault in one of the rear light clusters may be to blame. Anyone come across any similar problems with these cars?

• Vauxhall astra temperature problem 25 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  The current problem is with the temperature gauge. It flucates between the 90 mark and 80. This is more noticeable when driving around town. On the motorway the change is not as great. I have checked the coolant and I am not getting any oil in it and it does not seem to be losing any. It also never overheats. Any ideas.
