  I know this was my fault basically I want advice about what to do in the future. I was driving up to a junction, there was a car in front. It has been snowing. My car sped up, I push the brake pedal right down but the car didn’t slow down and I hit the car in front. I know this was my fault
• 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 follows so closely that the fog lights disappear from the rear view mirror.

• Classic Car - Car Panel Dents 1 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  Hi all I have an old classic car and i have a dent in the car door panel, the issue is that this one is problematic in that the metal has stretched beyond its shrinkage limit. So what this means is that if i push it, it pops back in and leaves a hole and if i push it out from the other side it pops out and creates a mound.

• Leaving car for 2 weeks - handbrake on ? 2 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I am leaving my Corolla for a couple of weeks parked. Last time I did this, the front brakes nearly seized due to corrossion on the front disc (it had rained whilst I was away). So, question, is there any way to avoid this ?!
• Tyre Pressures 1 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Can anyone enlighten me to the reason why most cars tyre pressures are more in the rear tyres than the front? I would have thought it would have been the other way around as the engine is, in most cars anyway, at the front and therefore more weight needs to be kept up.

• Skoda Yeti - Front indicator replacement, rank bad design 19 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  I am staggered! Skoda want my car for a whole day to replace a single front indicator bulb. They tell me that the bumper, grille and the relevant headlight have to be removed first. It may be under warranty but this is plain madness.

• Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 99 2.0 Front suspension collapse 3 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  110bhp diesel: with a distinct crack, both sides of the front suspension of this car seemed to collapse, simultaneously and at low speed. The engine stalled and would not re-start. Suspension on both sides appears to be down on the stops. Suspension on one side giving up I can understand, but both sides at the same moment?

• Mk4 Golf-Sidelights u/s after bulb swap. 28 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Changed the offside front headlamp unit tonight, then found both the front and rear offside side lights won't work. All the other lights, front and rear, on both sides of the car, work OK. Fuses seem OK. Anyone any ideas where to look for the fault please?
