• Drink drive limits 26 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Once again on some radio phone-in Ive heard people argue for a reduction in alocohol-in-blood limits . It misses the point that most people caught for...
• Wandering Golf steering 18 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  The problem is that everytime I accelerate the car, (without moving the steering wheel) the car moves to the right (steering wheel even moves slightly, if holding it loosely). When I take my foot off the accelerator it drives straight again. This can be mostly felt during motorway driving. I have had the tracking adjusted (camber included), new tyres, and changed all the rubber bushes on the wishbones. I have also checked that the brake calipers are not gripping, and they\'re fine.
• Squeal when braking? 4 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  After driving around much of this afternoon wondering why so many cars around me were making funny noises, I finally realised it was mine. As far as I've sussed out, there is a squealing noise that only seems to happen when I'm driving slowly, downhill, and applying the brakes.
• Turn left on red? 29 May 2003 (Forum)
  Would it be worth trialling this system in the UK, or are our roads/junctions too narrow to allow a full implementation? The other aspect of US driving I found most noticeable was the relative lack of aggression! My first experience was driving from Dulles airport into Washington D.C. - at night, in pouring rain, windows steaming up, lost, in need of sleep, first time with LHD car - and even when crawling at times doing 40 on the beltway I didn't encounter any 'hostility' at all.........
• Mondewoe noises 16 May 2003 (Forum)
  Trouble is the noise is still there, the garage (Marsh Gargage in the Good Garages Guide) said that the bearing was on its way but was better than the other one. They now think that its possibly drive shaft related. Has anyone any experience of problems with the drive shafts on the V6 Mondewoe, such that it will make noises like a wheel bearing? The cars now done about 105,000 miles. Any info including likly costs etc will be greatfully recived.
• Pug 306 - Knocking!!! 19 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Im just wondering if someone could give me a little help.... I have a 306 XN - \'94 M reg! When I drive over the slightest bump, there is a knocking sound which is driving me mad!!! I\'ve taken it to suspension & exhaust place, and they can\'t see any problems whatsoever. I really don\'t want to pay the dealership a few hundred quid just to investigate the problem.
• Honda HR-V 4WD?? 19 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  I'm fed up driving crap cars and have decided to spend up to £5000 on a reliable car. I live in a hilly area and a car with part time 4X4 would be great. A local dealer has a beautiful Dec 1999 Honda HR-V 1.6 4X4, nice colour, cd palyer, aircon etc.
• Focus ignition warning light 13 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  That doesn't appear to have cured the problem however - and the biggest problem is the worry it's causing my father as the handbook says to drive immediately to the nearest dealer, which he is inclined to do. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
• 95 escort 1.8td smoke problem 7 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  This has probably been asked before but here goes, problem is when I start my car for the first time (morning) it runs great no smoke when driving throttle response is very good but when the engine gets to full operating temp I notice the throttle response is not as good and it starts to blow black smoke out on acceleration. I've checked the usual(air filter) and replaced but I am puzzled why it would drive great when cold and decline when hot.

• Other-driver uncomfortableness 2 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  It's running fine, no apparent problem, but ... This same phenomena occurs every time anybody else drives my car - be it brother, sister, mother, father, workmate, mechanic etc Despite often NOT having to adjust the seat/mirrors/steering wheel/etc, it just doesn't feel *right* ... In between, I don't drive another car, so it isn't that ...

  Re:Deadly dogma Interestingly, the paper talks about re-testing older motorists' capability to drive. I think that's the greater issue here.
