  I drive 40000 miles a year and have a budget of about 8k to spend max with a 5 year old i30 as p/x. What would you recommend. Mazda 6 diesels are in my budget with around 50k on the clock are they still unreliable? I've heard a few horror stories. Also considering a petrol Avensis
• Ford Transit Popular - Ford Transit Popular cutting out 28 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  HI, When I start the van the engine just cuts out unless I drive it right away. When I come to a stop the engine cuts out as well. While driving without stopping there are no problems and it drives perfect. The battery light comes on when I come to a stop. I take it this would be most likely

• Honda - Changing drive belts on scooters 13 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  I am trying to change a drive belt on a scooter, and the manual states that a 'rotor locking tool' should be used. I cannot find a picture of this, and hence I am not sure how this item looks 'in the flesh'! Can anyone advice me on this task? Also, which electrically powered impact wrench
• Buying a car on SORN, how to tax it to drive home? 11 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I'm bidding on a car on Ebay about 50 miles away which is currently on SORN. If I win it I will need to tax it to drive home but how? If I change my insurance to it I won't have a new certificate for a week or two and presumably the current owner has changed his insurance to a new vehicle so won't

• Could you drive across a ploughed field? 8 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Just passed a newly-ploughed field, and very nice it looked, too, in an earthy sort of way. Got me wondering what vehicle could drive across it? Bear in mind the furrows (agricultural term, that) were quite deep and the sods (another one) were quite large. I reckon anything short

• Driving damaged cars 24 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Do the companies who repair damaged cars on behalf of insurers have the right to drive these damaged cars to their workshop (even when the cars are in a drivable condition) without notifying the owner of the car that this is their intention? Most people would assume that they put a damaged car
• Driving in Northern Ireland 17 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Not much traffic; great roads, many with long straights for easy overtaking; good driving habits (eg little or no tailgating, ditto aggression); fine scenery. No speed cameras (as far as I could tell), though a few camera warning signs. Didn't see a cop outside Belfast (though each town had its
• Popping & banging Fiesta 13 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  My '03' reg Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec has a 'popping & banging' sound when after it's being revved up. I can't find any leaks around the exhaust pipe, it recently had both Lamba sensors recently & it drives fine but the poping persists. Could this be because it's out of tune or something more

• oi, that's my bit of road! 19 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I regularly drive along B roads and lesser A roads and there seems to be an increasing incidence of people driving at me on my side of the road. Bends, blind bends and straight roads. Last night I had a guy coming at me with the white lines right down the centre of his car on a blind bend

• Driving an unisured car on your Ins. 3 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Is correct you can drive an uninsured car on your Comprehensive policy providing it has an MOT and Tax, and it will only cover third party. Would this also cover fire and theft. A friend who's car is off the road for major repairs, has been offered an uninsured car to use while his is being

  I'll be doing a bit of DIY on the rear of my car, and it would be convenient to leave the rear bumper off whilst continuing to drive the car. Will I be contravening the Construction and Use regulations in any way? Neither the number plate nor any lights are incorporated in the bumper

  The saga of my daughter's driving continues. She failed her second driving test this week. Going forward, she's a competent enough driver to pass. But her reversing isn't good. As this saga has been going on through 18 months of lessons it's becoming an expensive problem and living in Northern
