• Night-time driving-glasses? 17 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  The thread about flashing oncoming Xenon-headlit cars prompts me to ask whether anyone can recommend night-driving specs to reduce glare. I'm not au fait with the most recent issue of the Highway Code but seem to remember I'd heard that the Code's advice (exhortation?) is not to use such glasses
• Self-drive classic car hire in Manc / Cheshire? 22 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    Daughter's school 'prom' happens in July (a dreadful US import).  However, I thought I'd see about hiring a self-drive classic a day or two, to chauffeur her & a couple of friends to the event and have some fun myself.   The car would ideally

  Hi I'm wondering if anyone could shed any light.  Basically, I've the car to be driving quite rough over past few days; with the engine sounding course, dull and non-responsive. It seems as the engine is lacking oil, but I've checked this and appears OK. Just wondering
• Vauxhall Monaro (2004 - 2007) - Smile: you're on candid camera .... 11 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Interesting video here ... a Monaro owner took his car to his VX dealer to fix a coolant leak. The mechanics took it for a test drive to see if the leak was fixed. What the garage didn't realise was the owner has a Roadhawk video & GPS recording device fitted, which when examined later, showed

• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 98 1.8 Engine kangarooing whilst driving along 28 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I have a lovely red ford mondeo, which i dearly love, but as of recent and on a recent holiday the engine kangaroos whilst going along. It mainly happens when driving at low revs. If i put my foot down it wont do it, but it does it at all speeds from stationary up to 70mph. Could anyone suggest
• FIAT Punto (1994 - 1999) - 96 1.0 Handbrake light coming on when driving. 20 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Fiat Punto - the dashboard handbrake warning light is coming on when driving at certain quite low speeds but goes off when you stop. The light work fine when you put the handbrake on to park. Seems something is loose or reacting to the forward movement of the car to make a contact somewhere
• What's the point of driving a quick car slowly? 23 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  to or not. Any overtaking opportunities were thwarted by oncoming traffic. I'd be the first to defend anyone's choice of vehicle and their decision to drive er, carefully, but honestly, what's the point in bringing such a car out if it's to be driven so??
• £5k...what to buy? 29 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  My housemate now wants a car. He's been working the last two years nearly to save up for one and passed his driving test in December, but he has limited experience of driving. Nonetheless he wants to buy a car for £5k with his parents saying they'll pay for his insurance provided it is group 5

  I´m currently on a job in Bad Wildbad, but yesterday had cause to go across to Strasbourg for the morning. As the motorways were busy I went the back route through Baden Baden and across the Black Forest.... ......and what a drive. Billiard smooth, winding forest roads, pretty empty, picturesque

• Are Driving Standards Falling? 25 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  in the last fortnight. Turning right on no right turn junctions is a daily occurance. Mobile phone use whilst driving hasn't decreased since it became illegal. Eating and drinking at the wheel is commonplace. Overtaking on double white lines: daily. Blocking yellow box junctions. What is the World coming to?
• 1995 vw Golf Autobox probs 7 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Hi all, I've got a 1995 1.8 Golf with 31k on the clock. The problem that I am having is that, sometimes during driving the gearbox 'hunts' through the gears causing the car to jump all around the place, which is quite scary! I had a diagnostics test done on the Auto ECU and it came back
• Schumacher, F1 27 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Ok you Formula1 detractors. Schumachers middle section drive from 12 to third. Driving of utter brilliance with stunning machinery. Button - poked with a pointy stick by Schumacher and yelping out of the way, sold down the river by being blocked into back markers by the master. And Alonso 12
• Engine Life 24 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Hi guys, I like to drive quite 'adventurously', and I'm just wondering how much this affects the life/condition of the engine. At the moment, I change the oil every 5000 miles, always let the engine warm up before really revving it, and drive normally for a bit afterwards to help it cool down
• Mazda MX-5 cam shaft drive belt 12 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  The service schedule states that the cam shaft drive belt should be changed after 60k miles (no mention of time). Is this purely a distance service item? My mark 2 MX-5 has done only 30k miles and is coming up to 6 years old. There appears to be some doubt as to whether a change is now necessary

• Great British Driving Test 21 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  answer to deselect it. Given that it seems to answer many of the same questions as the normal theory test I was astonished to see that the average score is around 26. Does this mean that all these people have insufficient road knowledge to drive safely? (Also like question 8, it should remind people
