Are there any rearview mirror dashcams that can also act as a reversing camera? 11 Mar 2019 (Ask HJ)

Jensen Interceptor - A day with an Interceptor 23 Aug 2014 (Forum)
This dual personality is part of the charm of the car: the first half of the throttle’s movement is waft-matic; the second half unleashes the beast. Chrysler drivetrain engineers really did know their stuff, I’ve never driven an automatic car that has such good and immediate responses to your input. The car’s handling is still tidy, too. Initial mild understeer gives way to a nice balance on long sweeping corners, and the car stays firmly on line, feeling well planted. -
Honda Accord UK (2003 - 2008) - 05 2.2 Clutch Problems 16 Feb 2010 (Forum)
I intend to replace it with a ?tank? of sorts. We are keen to continue caravanning. Could anyone comment on automatic gearboxes for towing. Again, Thank You in Advance. Best Wishes and Happy Everythings, Len Bullock, Weston-Super-Mare, Summmmerset. {post amended to remove SHOUTING!} -
Citroen C4 (2004 - ) - Mini review - impressed! 17 Sep 2008 (Forum)
SWMBO has a business trip coming up and a hire car has turned up: A Citroen C4 1.6 SX automatic! I can't say I've ever been a Citroen fan in particular, but SWMBO commuted in it today and came back raving about it, so I went for a little blast myself. The first thing that strikes you is the styling. -
Are cars just TOO fast? 26 May 2005 (Forum)
No doubt there would soon be a plethora of aftermarket chips to get round this. Simple solution: if found to have been tampered with, then automatic instant confiscation of vehicle. Modifications to be confirmed, then destruction of said vehicle. No appeal. No resale of vehicle at auction. It?s gone. As an added tweak, I would also propose that ecu? -
Why do you run so many cars? 5 Oct 2004 (Forum)
I think that would become a stalemate! So if anyone can help me with a large 4 x 4 manual the size of a ford focus and automatic, we may be onto a winner! The thing is that together they may only do 12000 miles this year! Heaven help when the children start driving! Do any other backroomers need such motoring extremes as I do? -
Should I declare an insurance claim on my motorbike when applying for car insurance? 3 Nov 2025 (Ask HJ)

Mitsubishi Outlander - Could it be a failed DMF on a SST (Dual Clutch)?? 20 Nov 2020 (Forum)
3) Take it to the Peugeot dealer who can bill the warranty company directly, assuming the fault is covered, it should be as "all components, friction materials, bearings, ECU's" of automatic and dual clutch gear boxes are specifically named, as is wear and tear - I'll just pay a 20% excess for parts. But they will charge more per hour if its not under warranty and might immobilise the car into the bargain! -
Audi - Reversed into pedestrian - any thoughts 4 Feb 2020 (Forum)
I had not seen her over my left shoulder and the collision happened as I took my foot off the brake and onto the accelerator (it's automatic). Goes without saying that I was horrified at what I'd done, the young lady (in her early 20's) was lying on the road, but after some time, the only external injury seemed to be a grazed (no blood) right elbow. -
