• Help me decide! - Advice for a first car?? 16 Dec 2020 (Forum)
  I have a budget of around max £2,500. I really like the look of Peugeot 106 (but I have read they’re not great for motorway driving) or citoeren Saxo, particularly the 1.5 Diesel. Also had a look at older Micras and Fiestas. I’m thinking perhaps a diesel would suit me better as I’ll need it for some long distance driving, but I also want to be able to visit cities and I know some now have a diesel ban so I’m considering both diesel and petrol, preferably manual.

• Import of a used car from EU to UK 12 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  Hi, I wondered if anyone had definitive answers to some queries I have: I'm considering buying a 40 year old car that's in The Netherlands, driving it to the ferry at Hook of Holland, and from Harwich back to my house.  The car would have a current dutch MOT and whatever their equivalent of Road Tax is, and I would have insurance to cover driving that car in the EU.
• Help/Advice needed - licence revoked! 13 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  Apparently they still prosecuted me in my absence on 04/12 (as my ex hadn't told me anything about it) and gave me 6pts and a £400 fine. Because of a problem with DVLA last year, I retook my test after driving for 16 years as they lost my details!? I had to have licence quickly as I work for the NHS, so I retook my test rather than fight them. So anyway because I got 6 points (in apparently my first 2 years of driving) they have revoked my licence and I can't drive.

• Audi A3 Sportback - Loss of power, jerking acceleration and smoke 24 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  This stops after a few seconds, but the car continues to idle loudly with a GRRRRRRRR noise. This later dies down after some driving. Since yesterday, I have also noticed grey/white smoke from the exhaust on cold starts. Hitting the accelerator generates a puff of smoke. This also goes away after some highway driving. This can certainly not be normal, why would the car do it all of a sudden now after the turbo replacement...this started within 100miles of driving after new turbo.
