• Audi Q3 - Advice on test driving an Audi Q3 without buying 10 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Now on the phone the guy who helped us seemed pretty knowledgeable and the rates shown were actually what was on offer (I tried a couple of places that when you phoned up the deal was no longer available or only on a limited number of deals). So from that side of things I'm happy. The only gripe I have is not being able to drive and get a feel for the car before receiving it. How much of a hassle is it to go to a dealership and arrange a test drive without actually having to go through a lengthy and pressured sales pitch?

• Nissan Micra K11 - Nissan Micra K11 no gears at all 11 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  When I cycle back from D to P I can hear slight grinding noise as if something was not locking properly. When the car is in D ( still not driving) and I press on the gas pedal the spedo is moving as if indicating that the car was driving. I changed transmission oil (3 L of Dex II) and still nothing. I performed the self diagnostic test to identify the fault and the first blink was the longest indicating that the vehicle speed sensor is short/disconnected.

• Audi A4 B8 - Should I keep it after a DMF replacement 1 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  It seems that a Mercedes C Class uses a goold ole torque converter so that may be the way to go - I just don't know if I can live with the boring dash/interior after driving an Audi! I've had an advanced driving instructor asses my driving style to see if I could be to blame. The answer was no. Also the clutch that was removed confirmed this. Should I : a.
