• 37 MPH ? 23 Apr 2022 (Forum)
  How do you come up with a max speed of 37 MPH for your self driving car.  Apparently it will be coming into law that you can read a book or watch TV in a self driving car.  Experiment to go live on a single lane of a motorway.
• Which used car has the best mpg? 3 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  Hello! I am doing 400 miles per week, which reasonably priced (max 3k?) used can would give me the best mpg? It is mostly motorway miles, 40mph and above. Would a Yaris D-4D would be the best bet? Thanks!
• Volvo XC60 - Reversing Lights 23 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  The reverse lights on my 2009 XC60 are rubbish, I have to drive down single country lanes with NO street lighting and at this time of the year its a nightmare meeting another car and having to reverse. I'm told that legally the max light is 11watts. Anyone got this problem or ideas as to make driving this Volvo easier.
• How do speedometers work ? 9 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  As a layman, have never understood how speedos ( and rev counters ) work . I mean, what keeps the needle on say 30 mph or 1000 rpm - why doesn't it spin to the max and stay there ? guess it's some sort of electric set up but would like a ' proper ' explanation if somebody can be bothered ?

• Drive like a God 26 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Happened to be in Halfords this pm near the RipSpeed desk and noticed a poster for some kind of advanced driving course for youngsters (Max Drive I think it was). It was captioned Drive like a God. No wonder there are so many who think they are immortal... I suppose I shouldn't question the tag line of what appears to be a very worthy idea...
• Oil and Filter Change 2 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  National Tyres are offering an oil and filter change for £15. The oil is Duckhams QXR (max. 5 litres)semi synthetic and the filter unspecified. How do they do it? Halfords charge £20.99 for QXR alone. A small garage would charge, what, £20/hour labour? At this price , is it worth getting your hands dirty?

  I am looking to spend a max of 14K for a nearly new car for the mrs. She is dead set on a golf but I am a bit wary because of the new mk V next year. Can anyone recommend safe 5 door which feels luxurious and quiet nippy.

• Motoring to the disco medallion cold on the chest 30 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  You were `advanced` in the finer points of civilized life and had a bottle of Liebfraumilch - and two glasses in the boot. Your stories, Ladies and Gentlemen - please. Let`s make this thread a good one `for the weekend` (as the barber used to say) oilrag
• Which car companies will be left in 10 years time? 20 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  With the demise of Saab and others on their death beds and the governments of Europe legislating to make our cars clone-like and fuel efficient above all else I am left wondering who will still be standing in the mainstream in ten years time? I would suggest we might have : One French company (with Nissan); VAG; KIA/Hyundai; Ford (& Volvo?); Toyota (& Subaru?) and Beijing automotive (who I think will be selling us cheap Roewe 75's and the Saab technologies they have just picked up). I wonder where Opel or its offspring might be?
• Polite Sign in rear window 27 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  Was driving home on Monday afternoon and was behind a W reg Ford Fiesta, it had a fairly large poster in it's back window that read: (or pretty much read) I have recently been 'done' for speeding for the 1st time 34MPH in a 30MPH zone, it's cost me points and a fine I'm driving slowly because of this...
• Build quality- japan versus the rest 16 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  The build quality is excellent, The doors close with a satisfying "thunk" like its a real piece of metal. There`s not a patch of rust on it and everything works as it should. Its 12 years old and has done over 100k. Before this i had a 10 year old ford escort which appeared to be made of 2mm thick tinplate and was going on the arches and sills.
• Could we run Jaguar 22 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  I have never owned a Jag but have always been a fan as I think they are well engineered (something I think is number 1 in a car), and have got the quality / customer bit right as well - according JD Power. It struck me that if they fixed the design on some cars (X type in particular - next S type looks good according to current spy shots) then these things should have no problem selling. So imagine we are now the new board at Jag and Ford have just sold it to HJ & asscoiates for £1 - what we would do next ???
