• Last night's booby prize goes to 16 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  The driver of the Ford Focus heading Northbound around junction 27 on the M1 who had a large sat nav system (Navman sized?) half way between the rear view mirror and the base of the windscreen. They didn't appear to have worked out that the unit had a "nightview" setting yet, either.... On an up side, having been tailgated coming off the M5 onto the M42 by a large non artic curtain sided lorry, I was pleased to see him being pulled by a (presumably unmarked) traffic car at the next junction having, I guess, tried the same trick with him!
• Nuisance Parking 3 May 2006 (Forum)
  Someone has taken to parking directly outside his house meaning he's having to park down the street when he'd prefer to park outside his property. I'm inclined to think there's not much he can do except have a chat with the car owner or leave a polite note on the windscreen, but he'd appreciate any ideas/advice you can give. Thanks Lee -- You don\'t sell the steak, you sell the sizzle
• High pressure spray wash 2 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Scared me --I could see my paint flying off down the road not to mention my wiper blades and bonnet badge. So i did not get over close --result a half clean car. Frankly it really needed a rub over with a sponge to shift the grime. Question how do you use a high pressure spray without dislodging your windscreen ? Any advice please.
• Seat toledo ventilation problem 22 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  I suspect it is a dashboard off job, and I am only really interested in doing anything about it if I can do it myself. It is not worth spending serious money on. There is no Haynes manual for this car so I do not really know where to start. Can anyone help?

• M6 Toll Junction T7 Warning 25 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  I reached the M6 TOll at about 8PM. At T7 there was a huge BANG! and I heard wind noise coming from the top of the windscreen. I pulled over onto the hard shoulder - small but deep dent in the roof at it's junction with windscreen and a laminated screen with a lot of cracks. I drove gingerly to the Norton Cranes service area, looking at every vehicle and bridge, and got out of the car to examine the damage in a safe place.....

• Keystone Kops 6 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  "I have been told - from the reports of witnesses - that the provincial officers bundled the driver into a car and tried to leave the scene," said the mayor, Denny Moffatt. "Apparently they drove straight at our officer, who was standing in front of their car." Moffatt said the car hit or almost hit the municipal officer - the details were not clear - and a shot was fired.

• Honda Jazz - fitting front fog lights 18 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  I went mad and bought a front fog light kit on eBay (I've always hated the blanks on the front of the car where the fog lights go). However the 34 pages of fitting instructions are somewhat daunting, especially the bit in the middle where the steering wheel has to be removed!!
• Children damage and responsibility question 1 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  What can I do about a number of children aged between 2 and 7 running around my drive where two cars are parked.  The front is open with 2 parking spaces which is my drive, but there are no front gardens and the neighbours also have their own parking bay in front.  You can't blame children for playing at the front as they don't understand boundaries and it is worse still as it is housing association so some parents aren't bothered around the adjacent properties.

• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - Safe to move front tyres to back? 18 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  My car (1996 A4 1.8) pulls to the left, when I swap the front tyres with each other, it pulls equally to the right, so I conclude the front tyres are worn rather than the tracking being drastically out. They have 4mm tread.
