Audi 80 TDi-electronic probs 19 Jul 2003 (Forum)
I was due to part exchange the car on Monday so I went away for the weekend thinking it would be our last drive together. 145K and I have never had any problems with her - FASH etc. Typically, when I was away she decided to rev to 2100rpm and then cough and splutter like she wasn't getting enough fuel (I had to drive from devon to Reading at 55mph!) -
Volvo test drive 20 May 2003 (Forum)
Hi all - I'm off to a test drive an M regn. Volvo 960 3.0CD estate later this week. Apparently it's mint (they all say that don't they), has a full Volvo service history and has done 85k. Dark plum with beige leather interior, sounds nice. -

Astra Drive Belt - Fitting Problems? 22 Sep 2002 (Forum)
Hello, thanks to HJ's wisdom and Volvoman's brute strength, I have located the broken drive belt on my Astra 1.7d, and bought another one. Apparently it's quite easy to fit - Volvoman's words not mine. But I need a little advice before attempting this. Under the bonnet, there's 2 sort of pulley things that it looks like the belt should go on. -
(Extreme) Cold Weather Driving in the UK 21 Dec 2001 (Forum)
m planning to do London to Inverness in my trusty Xantia TD Estate(M1-M6-A74-M80-A9) over the coming weekend and it may involve some night driving, but the weather forecast is giving me serious doubts about it .... I know that countries that experience extreme winter climates such as Northern Europe and Northern North America are more geared up for travelling in sub-zero conditions. -
Death by Dangerous Driving 3 Dec 2001 (Forum)
I am surprised that no one else has mentioned it here, so here goes. The chap who is up for causing death by dangerous driving, as far as I understand, was deprived of sleep, which lead to him falling asleep at the wheel. How many of us, hand on heart, can honestly say that we haven't ever driven when we think we shouldn't be (either extremely tired or otherwise). -

Why do you run so many cars? 5 Oct 2004 (Forum)
But for the reasons outlined below it would be difficult. Me - for pleasure - needs to fit 4 people, plenty of space, safe to drive and manual 4 x 4 is preferable as I do plenty of rural driving, and tow heavily laden trailers. The wife - needs the exact opposite (typical!). Won't drive it if she has to think of changing gears, and it needs to be small. -

Unintentionally driving down private road 2 Aug 2022 (Forum)
Whilst 'driver 1' is amending the destination on the side of the road (with poor signal) a car comes down from the private section beyond the fence and this 'driver 2' blocks 'driver 1', says "alright" and tells their passenger the plate number of "driver 1" and drives further down the road stopping on the side. 'Driver 1' having corrected their navigation after a few mintues, now drives towards entrance, past 'driver 2' (who could have stopped to record them on the road). -

FIAT 500X - Exporting a car; what type of insurance does the DVLA need? 3 Jul 2017 (Forum)
I have issues getting insurance cover in Ireland for various reasons and the one company that will insure me (AXA) have said they could only cover me for a day or two of driving over here as it wouldn't be like the usual 31 days holiday cover as the location at inception date will be in UK.This won't work as it will be three weeks from purchasing car (driving it from garage to my house here and three weeks later driving it home).
