• VW Touran - Contempt? 28 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  My vehicle has been caught in a mobile speed camera a few hundred yards from my home (49 in 40 alledgedly) however we genuingly cannot confirm if it was my wife or I that was driving we were moving equipment from home into my new office and must have made 20+ trips between us on this road. I could just accept the points and fine, but if it wasn't me driving am I not committing a more serious offence?
• VW Golf MK 6 - Windscreen wiper size 4 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  Apologies for being lazy and asking here rather than looking it up. I've got a left hand drive (European) VW Golf MK6 (1.6 TDi, Oct 2010). Are the front clip-on wiper blades identical to those on the UK right hand drive cars ?  I imagine that they are the same except that the longer and shorter one are swapped round.

• Winter tyres - not needed 9 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  If you know how to drive properly. That's not my opinion, but the opinion of someone who thinks that if you drive sensibly, you don't need them. It makes him reallly angry when people say you've got to spend £200 on another set of tyres.
• advice wanted 4 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  I need a car which is: fuel efficient, costs less than £7000, 5 door, preferably low milage and low emissions, can transport 5 passengers comfortably, I will be using the car for town driving (mostly) but doing less than 10000 a year Does this car exist? I previously had a 1.2 corsa which was economical but small and have just brought a 1.4 fiat bravo active sport, which although seems a nice car, is very uneconomical for town driving, I think.
