• Toyota Yaris 1.33 (2009) - Engine management light. Different faults recorded 22 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  The garage tested it and can’t see a fault with it. 5 visits to the garage and they can’t find the fault (which records in the diagnostics as a fault on either of the o2 sensors, record keeps changing between the 2). I have noticed a pattern. The light regularly comes on after a local drive of 15 - 20 miles. It never comes on during a shorter drive. It does not come on during motorway driving, I drove over 100 miles on motorways at speeds between 50-70mph and no fault. The fact that it comes on consistently at 15-20 miles of local driving made me think it was a temperature related fault ie when something warmed up but surely the fact that it doesn’t come on during a long motorway drive shows that to be wrong?

  From the official government website on driving tests...TEN THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SPEED ON THE ROAD In 1997 3,599 people were killed and 32,3945 injured (42,967 seriously) in road traffic accidents. By far the biggest single cause was driving too fast for the conditions.

• Untaxed vehicles 9 May 2021 (Forum)
  If a vehicle is uninsured it is liable to be seized by the police if it is flagged up on their ANPR system. Does anyone know what the consequences are for driving around in a car that is not taxed ?  Would that also receive the same attention on the ANPR ? And, importantly, does driving an untaxed vehicle nullify the insurance cover  ? By the way, I’m in the clear.

• Suzuki Jimny 1.3 JLX+ 1 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  We are thinking of buying one. It is is for semi-rural driving, max. 6,000 mls/yr, to keep 5 yrs max. Should we be overly worried by absence of airbags? Opinions on any aspect of car (reliability, driving in snow, etc.) most welcome.
