• Advice Needed: New Insurance and NCB Woes 14 Jun 2025 (Forum)
  A few years ago, in my infinite wisdom, I informed the DVLA regarding meds I was taking and wham they slap me as having a drinking problem and now have to go through the absolute s*** show of reapplying every year. The issue comes when I apply for insurance. My current insurance ends early next month. My license runs out at the end of the month. Do I have to declare this with the insurers?

• any - why can't people keep to their own side 9 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  Obviously small Landrovers, Ewok and Freelander size feature regularly doing this and the usual German marques, it's not as if their tyres are going to get muddy or likely to scratch the paint or clout their own n/s mirror because the verges feature a bank and ditch before the well trimmed hedges, the bank ensures they would struggle to end up in the ditch unless deliberately. Is it just me?

• Renault Clio Mk3 - Nasty ball joint failure on car bought 1 month ago 16 Dec 2021 (Forum)
  It had a single advisory at MOT 9 months previously '‘front play in steering rack inner joint(s) both ()'. Since that MOT it has done 1,500 miles, most of those miles by me in the last month since I bought it. Two days ago, on the way home from work, the driver’s side ball joint failed, causing the car to belly flop onto the road and the right half axle to be snapped and ripped from the transmission.

• Hot smell from rear wheel post service. 17 May 2020 (Forum)
  The third day (yesterday) i arrived at my destination, got out and immediately noticed a hot smell. Investigation revealed the o/s rear wheel was hot. Now to my untrained mind, this suggested a binding brake. But, while i have not had the opportunity to jack up the rear to try and spin the offending wheel, it certainly doesn't feel like it is binding.
• Audi Q3 - Car on order with all the things Backroomers hate! 15 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  The Audi Q3 on the other hand was very impressive, both loved it. Same engine as that in Skidpan's forthcoming Superb. So it has a S-Tronic gearbox, an electric handbrake and cylinder on demand technology, all things we tend to advise people to steer clear of, certainly with a second-hand purchase. A bit of research suggests this is the 6 speed wet clutch DSG, as opposed to the dry clutch 7 speed which was the more troublesome.
