• Sqeaky Astra window driving me nuts!!! 29 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Hi All Any suggestions appreciated. The drivers window on my astra is driving me nuts. It is sqeaking like mad. How should this be lubricated? I have used WD and spray grease on previous cars- this is an Astra coupe which has pillarless doors. For this reason I am a little reluctant to throw just anything at it as if I degrade the seal I will be getting wet when summer ends!

• Good Driving Experience Day 30 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I've got some vouchers that I can use to go on a driving day. Quite fancy either a supercar / Ferrari day or maybe a single seater. After going on a rally day a couple of years ago and being really dissapointed at the whole experience, I was wondering if anyone can recommend, a) a good venue and b) a good overall experience.
• getting paid for test drive 2 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I've received (in the post) an invitation from Citroen to take a test drive. Apparently, if I accept the invitation, I'll get £15 worth of M&S vouchers. Seems like a good offer to me! I take it other Citroen owners are all getting the same? (And do other manufacturers make this sort of offer?)

• Ford Mondeo TDDi Drive Shaft 30 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  While waiting for a new driveshaft replacement, the mechanic has just replaced the broken bearings to the old driveshaft that was hit. Now, I am driving temporarily with the old driveshaft and at 110-140 kpmh, my steering wheel shakes a little. I have brought my mondeo for wheel alignment and balancing but to no avail. Is it due to the driveshaft that I suspect?
• Driving VW Diesels Economically 11 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Admitedly this was for a six speed gearbox. I've tried this in my Passat 100bhp 5 speeder. I found myself driving generally two gears lower than normal. According to the computer the fuel economy was worse than usual. What is the reasoning behind the advice? -- I wasna fu but just had plenty.

• Driving Licence ~ Minimum age to be 18? 14 May 2003 (Forum)
  My daughter, soon to be 17 and champing at the bit regarding driving, rang me at work to say that a number of friends have declared the learner age is to be raised to 18. I told her it was most definitely a wind up and I checked the DVLA website and it confirms that there has been no change.
