• Honda Jazz 1.2 - Occasional 'bad egg' smell on test drive... 23 Feb 2019 (Forum)
  I'm in the market for a new used car and have just viewed a 2013 40k Honda Jazz that drove beautifully and which has an exemplary Honda history.  I had an extended test drive of it and the only 'negative' (apart from its colour!) was a very occasional, momentary whiff of Hydrogen Sulphide
• Peugeot 108 - Peugeot 108 engine shut down while driving? 5 Feb 2019 (Forum)
  Hi: a friend of mine has a 2017 Peugeot 108 1.0-litre. Last week she experienced complete power failure while driving to work - managed to pull over safely and, after a short while, restart the car. Peugeot dealer says he can find nothing wrong and nothing is registering on the diagnostics
• Ford S-MAX - S-Max drive shaft retaining bolt torque 24 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  Hi there, I have just done a job on my 2008 S-Max 2.0 TDCi and am on the final part, fitting a new drive shaft retaining bolt. It fits a 13mm socket but my Haynes manual says torque to 80Nm + 90 degrees, and my eBay manual (seems to be a Ford one) says 45Nm + 80 degrees. Trying to do a ‘proper
• Any - Driving with front fog lights in good visibility 28 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  Can anyone tell me why it is currently fashionable for about 30% of all cars to drive at night in perfect visibility with front fog lights blazing? Does it make the car go faster? Is it suggestive of a more agressive profile? Personally I am sick of it - especially when, like tonight, the idiot

• Vauxhall Zafira - problams with 'Drive Vauxhall' 22 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Just exchanged our Puegot Estate for  the above with Bury St Edmunds branch of Drive Vauxhall. The information they gave us has proved to be inaccurate in terms of the actual mileage,previous owner? Since they MOT'd the vehicle it has done 7000 miles in six (6) weeks? Anyone
• Nissan Micra - Broken Exhaust bolt 20 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  Hi I've broken an exhaust bolt connecting the Exhaust Pipe to the Catalytic Converter. I only have one bolt at the moment connecting the two together instead of the two bolts. I haven't driven the car yet but was just wondering would driving the car damage the Catalytic
• vw golf mk 6 - dsg 9 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  I have a 2012 ,1.4 petrol, 122BHP  golf mk 6 DSG 7 speed with 3000 miles. When driving down a steep hill, braking and foot off the accelerator the DSG drops into 3rd or 4th gear and the engine jumps up to 4500 revs, and stays in the lower gear,often for several
• What did you learn to drive in? 26 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  Someone pointed me in the direction of an article about a Ferrari 458 Italia which has been spotted with 'L' plates.  There is accompanying Youtube footage.  Apparently a genuine learner. I learnt to drive firstly in a 1.0L Corsa and then a 1.4L Jazz (in which I passed my test
• 1.2L SXI+ Corsa - Learner Insurance? 24 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  I'm looking to be insured on my family members SXI+ Corsa until my test in 3 weeks, I found a quote from Collingwood Learners insurance and they quoted me £96 for 28 days insurance on the car.   My question is, if I pay that, am I then legally allowed to drive
• What's the oldest driving school car you've seen? 17 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  I spotted a V reg Corsa the other day and thought it was quite old for a learner school vehicle. I guess there is no reason why a driving school can't operate a fleet of bangers if they wanted providing they are safe and practical but I am curious to know how long a car used by many different

• MINI MINI Cooper and S R56 (2007 - ) - Drive the Deal 21 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  My daughter is hankering after a new Mini Cooper Graphite which is a limited edition model. Being dad, it's up to me to try and find the best price so first port of call was Drive the Deal. Fell at the first hurdle as they don't appear to offer prices on Minis or BMW for that matter
• Driving in Australia 25 May 2009 (Forum)
  My sister is going for a 'year out' there in July, mainly travelling and hopefully a bit of work when the mood takes her. She asked me the other day if she could drive on her UK license and I honestly couldnt say - anyone know the rules and regs on the use of UK licenses? Also if she does take
• Driving licence expired? 7 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  into it". My view is that by continuing to drive she is committing an offence and invalidating the insurance. She maintains that as it's not her fault the licence remains valid until DVLA send the renewal and doctor's forms. Anyone know the legal position? Thanks
• What's that car Audrey hepburn drives.... 19 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  ....in the film HOW TO STEAL A MILLION. The film is 1966, and Peter O'Toole drives a yellow E-Type. Audrey Hepburn has a tiny 2-seat cabriolet in red. It's really tiny, and I thought it might be something by Vignale on a Fiat 600 (it's definitely not a Gamine). It might be something by Glas
• How fast do you drive on motorways? 10 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Simple question, really. I regularly see cars in lane 3 zipping along at between 90 and 100 mph, and was wondering if any of them get stopped or if the police turn a blind eye to these sort of speeds? How fast do you drive on the motorway? For reference, if the road is clear I tend to sit at 80
• Vatican's 'driving commandments' 20 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  as advice to avoid road rage. Apparently it's OK to pray while driving as well - and this from a man who never gets driven around by his wife... Only kidding ;-) Any views on this long-overdue intervention from On High, or have they forgotten anything?
• Opel Kadetts? 19 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  At the week-end I saw a car transporter loaded with 10/12 new,unregistered left hand drive Opel Kadetts on board. This was on the M5 in Worcestershire travelling south. Would these be from Ellesmere Port where I thought, though I could be wrong on this, GM make them as Astras? There is a huge
• I want a fuller full beam 30 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Driving along lonely Highland roads at night, I often feel that full beam (on my Berlingo) is not full enough. I would like to be able to see further along the road, as well as a wider area beside the road, so that night driving was more like day driving. I guess this would mean brighter
