• Define Clean Driving Licence 6 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  At the age of nearly 51 I'm giving up doctoring on health grounds, taking a medical retirement and then will look for a low stress job. I actually enjoy driving and even in a city environment I still find it relaxing, so this is the area I will be looking for work. Employers ask for a "clean
• Driving should have smiles-per-hour! 1 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Yesterday was a great driving day.... The sun was shining, and there was barely a cloud in sight, so I pulled the covers off the '928 and took it out for a run. Within a few minutes of heading out, I'd been followed by a Ferrari 348; spotted an imaculate 911 and overtaken a gleaming 944
• Liability for rear end accident? 30 May 2005 (Forum)
  So we were driving home from a wedding on Sat night, doing about 60mph on a country road when we rounded a gentle corner to find a rabbit sitting in the middle of the road. My first reaction would have been to stand on the brakes. However my wife was driving and she chose instead to drive over
• Driving abroad with Xenon lights 28 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I have ordered a new Audi A6 with Xenon lights which I am hoping to pick up in the next few weeks. Shortly after this I am off to France and will need to "correct" the beam for driving on the right. However, I have been told that Audi xenons can only be adjusted in this way by a dealer. Can
• Mondeo clutch problem 9 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I have a 2000 (old shape) Mondeo which has covered just under 60000 miles (manual). The clutch has started to feel odd and is slipping when the drive is taken up. It doesn't feel like normal clutch failure due to clutch plate wear (and I would be surprised at this mileage as my driving style
• Short Journeys & Gentle Driving 12 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  IIRC, it was in a recent Technical thread that someone stated that short journeys and gentle driving (generally in small cars…mine is a Jazz) were the catalytic converters worst enemy. My driving comes mainly in this category (apart from a 60 mile Motorway trip in the Grandpa Lane once
• Fast motorway driving - Good or bad? 19 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Ok, *this is not a speeding thread*! I am looking for answers based upon my technical query (in fact if necessary please move this to the technical thread mods), not opinions on whether or not it is legal/morally right to do this! I often find myself driving home from a night out in Reading

• Suzuki Vitara - High pitched sound when driving 24 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  Hi, Looking for some help diagnosing my issue. I recently bought a 2018 Suzuki Vitara S All Grip Automatic and a few days later it developed a noise when driving. The closest thing I can compare the noise to is a high pitched whistle/buzzing on a phone line. The sound becomes
• Help me choose-Large Diesel engine Q Barge! 16 Oct 2007 (Forum)

• FORD - Cosworth RS 500 28 Feb 2023 (Forum)
  A 1987 car with only %K miles has just sold at action for £596K  Not a bad investment for a Sierra.  I suppose the buyer will only store it and look at it.  A lot earlier than this I had a test drive in a Cavalier GSI and had never driven a performance car before
• Provisional Driving Licence - time to receive? 19 Jun 2020 (Forum)

• Mexican driving 5 Sep 2016 (Forum)
      Just got back from Mexico and the driving there is amazing. The roads themselves in the Cancun area are pretty good but the speed limits appear to be put up for decoration. A bus ride is quite an experience, the drivers put the foot to the floor and swerve in and out with gusto

• Suzuki Swift - Suzuki Swift 7 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  Thinking of changing my K13 Nissan Micra by the end of the year and for all this has been an economical, reliable enough car, there isn't much pleasure in driving it. The dealer is also a Suzuki dealer and I quite like the latest shape Swift as it looks funkier and drives better than the Micra
• Son passed his driving test - now what? 29 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  No. 1 son passed his test today first time.  Really chuffed for him as he doesn't do exams or stress at all well. Don't need to get him a car just yet. As school is only a ten minute walk and I'm hoping he takes a gap year in September.  But I would like him to drive which he
• Passat 1.6 DSG or 2.0L manual ? 19 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  I'm due to change my company car but only have a choice two models: Passat 1.6 DSG Business Passat 2.0L manual Business I like the idea of driving the DSG as I tend to do a 50/50 mix of town and motorway driving, but am slightly concerned that it may be underpowered when
