• MOT advisories - what do they really mean? 21 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Please help me with this one, I am an expat trying to understand what is now the case in the UK having just fallen out big-time with the owner of a car that I thought I had bought to export to France. When the car was put through the MoT test, or DoE test or whatever it's called now, it passed but with a series of 'advisories' including a crack in the windscreen and wear to front suspension bushes.
• East European cars 7 Mar 2007 (Forum)

• MINI Clubman - MOT minor defect 18 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  It's MOT time again and I've just remembered last year although the car passed I had a 'minor defect - repair as soon as possible' due to a small crack in the windscreen outside the line of view. The crack hasn't changed since and I've got limited time and money to get a new windscreen sorted before the MOT deadline.

• Windscreen ice-preventer? 20 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  Mrs AF bought me a spray-bottle of some jollop called 'Magic Ice-Stop' which I spray onto the car's windows the night before a sharp frost. And it works, making the ice next morn much easier to shift. And now I'm out of it and can't find it anywhere. Any ideas, please? Moreover, as I'm er, 'careful' with money I'd rather make-up my own mixture.

• What's this by the rear-view mirror? 20 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  OK, not a life or death question, but maybe someone has an idea?... In my aforementioned new car at the top of the windscreen, by the rear-view mirror, there is a mirror-shaped (but bigger) clear 'sticker'. Does this serve any purpose? I was in a Merc yesterday and noticed that the graduated tint was designed so that the same shape as my 'sticker' was marked out in black dots on the windscreen too.
