  i was going through loughborough yesterday afternoon and parked up just after the alan moss roundabout was a white van with 2 cameras pointing out the back, i drove on toward the layby and a cop was pulling vehicles over , upon inspection i noticed vans, one had DVLA another had fuel testing written on the side and for good measure two cops on 2x1,s (motorbikes) to catch the chavs who would panic and do a nigel mansell toward derby, it must cost 1000s to set something like that up
• Non franchised dealer servicing 10 May 2007 (Forum)
  My Mitsubishi Colt is coming up to a year old, apart from a few rattle it?s not had any problems. The local franchise dealer is quoting a horrific figure for the first service though. A couple of years ago I found an excellent local non franchised garage that isn't cheap but does a fantastic job at a reasonable cost, so I'd like to use them instead.
• Watch out for Vandals in Sandhurst area 30 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  One of my colleagues had her car "tagged" (I believe this is the term for grafiti) outside her house in Sandhurst last weekend. Tonight I take SWMBO to M&S for a bit of retail therapy and some nasty scrote has painted a rude word on the boot lid of a beautiful blue 07 BMW 325d Coupe. I did report it but as I did not witness anything I suppose there is nothing to be done.
• Diesel Engine Noise 3 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  My A4 TDI 130 performs well, gets a good deal of hard motorway work and returns good fuel consumption, but tends to be noisier at idle hot or cold than other 'same-engined' cars such as other A4's or Passats etc. Why does the readership think this is ? Are diesel cars driven very gently less noisy ? I would have thought it would have been the other way round. Views please.
• Toyota - You ARE joking! 11 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  A special price for older vehicles £140. No complaints at that. Plus coolant change & brake fluid change. More ££s than expected but convenience etc. etc. OK Centre exaust box rotting so best to have all replaced Sir, as it may be impossible to split it from the rest of the exaust . A small sum of £894.94 but that does include VAT and 1.2 hours labour.
• Buying a car with High Mileage 18 Nov 2006 (Forum)
