  Does it harm our car engines to run them for a few seconds when moving the cars on the drive? 25 May 2013 (Ask HJ)

• Locally overpriced S/H cars 14 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Hi there I live near Perth in Scotland and have been aware for some time that a car with a windscreen price of say £5K in Glasgow/the central belt or even the north of England will usually be at least a grand more expensive here in Perth. I noticed this today on a well known internet auction site: http://tinyurl.com/yftybns Okay, it's in good nick, but £5K for a car coming up for 12 years old, they have to be kidding!?
• Poor starting - Mondeo 1.8 lx 14 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  On cranking there is a loud clicking noise which seems to come from glovebox area when sitting in the car. Eventually car starts and then runs well. Serviced only recently and new plugs/leads. Weird thing however is that as car is trying to start the the windscreen wipers move across the screen (even though not turned on) and the central locking seems to be activating.

• Car Recommendation 22 May 2018 (Forum)
  Hi All,  I have really been struggling to find my next car of choice which I intend to keep for the next few years. I want it to be slightly luxurious, no bigger than medium sized, ideally an automatic (but no biggie), petrol, and more importantly have all the extra such as pano roof, heated seats and sensors or reverse camera.

• More efficient propulsion 6 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  I suspect it will be BMW however and to be fair to them their efficient dynamics packages should be present on all cars as a licensed technology or manufacturers own derivative. What ideas do other members have for improving our cars for efficiency?
• Cheap MX-5: 2 weeks in...... 31 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  The service was all fine, I kept expecting a phone call to say they had found something terminal, or it had fallen apart when up on the lift. But no, all fine and they even complimented the car on its good condition. You can probably sense a but coming, and you'd be right! At the start of this week I got a puncture AND a chipped windscreen. I didn't notice when either happened, just a flat tyre in the morning and a big chip which my son spotted on the way home from school.

• Audi/VW garage 27 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  The car is now out of warranty. If the car was still under warranty must you use a dealership or can you use an independent as long as they use Audi/VW genuine parts or would this nil and void the warranty?
