• A14 driving etiquette 5 Dec 2013 (Forum)
   I have to drive along the A14 from Suffolk to commute to Cambridge. Some days I will come over a crest and find the outside lane has 0.5 to 1.0 mile packed with cars that are overtaking absolutely nothing apart from an HGV 0.5 to 1.0 ahead.   I am wondering if I should

  We purchased a new 2001 ML 55 in Spring, 2001.  Recently, we have experienced a dangerous and disconcerting problem: the "BAS" light comes on and the vehicle almost screeches to a stop in the middle of the road!  It has now happened three times, and everytime the driving conditions

  My 1600cc C Max makes what only can be described as a "chattering " noise from the alternator area when the heated windscreens are switched on. The local ford dealer says it is the drive belt that needs changing at a cost of £90 and the belt is not subject to warranty.The car has done less
• Ford Galaxy - 4x4 version of Ford S-Max or Galaxy 18 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  Does anyone know if Ford sells (or did sell) a 4 wheel drive version of the S-Max or the Galaxy?  I thought that I saw a road test a few years ago where they took an AWD version of the S-max up to the Alps. A 4 wheel drive Galaxy would be very handy. Likewise, if anyone

• Repeated attempts to pass the driving test, how many should be allowed? 18 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  So as per an earlier "toot" of mine, I see that research has now revealed that those who require multiple attempts, ie 4,5.6 attempts to pass their driving test never become competent drivers, this proved by their having more accidents..... incl with stationary /parked vehicles. 2nd attempt pass

• Small cars 30 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Is it me, or do more motorists drive more aggressively towards small cars. Normally I drive largish saloon cars although last couple of days I have had to use my sons Citreon C1. I have had more cars cut me up, drive inches from the rear bumper, and refuse to give way more times than i care

• LPG Cars/Vans-Why arn't more people driving these? 10 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I am now considering an LPG van instead of diesel. Although you are very limited for choice on the (used) market, going LPG seems to make a lot of sense. Are there any serious downsides to it? There are several LPG stations around the typical routes I drive so no problem getting the stuff. I
