• Selling a registration mark 10 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  But according to the blurb on a retention certificate I've got, my deal is with the Sec of State, and it isn't transferable to anyone else. Which sounds like 'You've bought it, but once you don't want it it reverts to me, the S of S". I guess I can sell the mark if it's on a car. Is that the only way I can do it? I feel a call to the DVLA coming on... but can anyone shed a bit of light before I do? (It might help me understand a bit more what they say.)

• Citroen C5 rear axle problems 21 May 2006 (Forum)
  My 2 yr old C5 1.9 HDI Hatchback, as developed very uneven wear on the rear tyres, the inside tread is worn down to nearly 1.6 mm but the outside tread is ok. My local franchise dealer says that it is caused by deformed rear axle(s) and is a known problem with C5s (yet another one !). They have applied to Citroen to relace the axle(s) under warranty and have also asked Citroen to cover the cost of replacement tyres. Does anyone know about this problem ?
• Limit teenage driving ?? 2 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Read an interesting article on A-express website, basically says that 1 in 4 deaths caused by dangerous driving are the fault of the under 20's & the safety body "BRAKE" wants to introduce certain limits on this age group. h**p://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/57161/teen_clampdown_call.html Personally think that with the ever increasingly powerful cars available these days certain limitations are probably a good idea, although I also think that anyone buying a "very high performance" car should have to take some type of "speed awareness" course, not just under 20's.
