• Volkswagen Polo - White fluid under driver side wheel arch 29 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  I have a VW Polo (2006 Reg). This morning I set off from my house and after driving for about 2 minutes after I'd driven over a few road humps the car started screeching. At first I though it was the brakes as its been raining quite a lot and the cars been on the drive for a day without having
• Any - No MOT For Vehicles Over 40 Years Old 22 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  safety inspection. I realise that modern emissions criteria and brake efficiency tests can't be applied to older vehicles. A major question is what construction and usage regs will apply? I recall older cars having no or one brake lights from new and only one headlight opeating on dip. Many

• E Class 270 Cdi - Looking at buying E 270 CDi 30 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  it has been very well looked after cosmetically. Checked all the Mot's from the last 6 years or so their was an advisory regarding brake pipe corrosion. their was a receipt for new brake pipes pads and discs from last year so I guess that's sorted. It's done 92000 miles up till now, I'm wondering

• Audi A3 1.9 TDI - Shudders at speeds over 65 mph 10 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  was happening over 60 mph and the brakes were knocking too. The garage replaced the warped brakes straight away and a few weeks later all 4 tyres were replaced - garage was saying that the back tyres had been worn in a way that was causing the vibration. The shudder is still there but is only noticable

  My wife's car bought used in June, auto, Vtec 60k miles. After a few weeks of ownership, started misfiring badly when starting from cold then usually runs okay.

• Freewheeling 16 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Those of you with teeth as long as mine may remember cars (mostly Rovers, IIRC) that had a 'freewheel' option, which was effectively a one-way clutch that allowed the engine to drive the wheels, but not the reverse. This meant no engine braking, but allowed the car to coast whenever you took your
• Tricky insurance question (driving abroad) 29 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  Ok can't seem to find an answer to this. I'm popping over to England to buy a car BUT I will be leaving for Sweden the next day and want brake down cover. So far it seems the car as to be registered in the U.K but I won't have time to do this unless it takes one day or something to register
• Italian eccentric or unreliable? 15 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Just got back off my trip to Cornwall - 290 miles in a day in a Seicento - actually alot easier than it sounds if your used to your 5-Series levels of comfort. Just one question - on steep hills in low gears only, the brake fluid warning light comes on, but the level is correct and its fine any

• Toyota Corolla 1.6 strange noise -PS? 15 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  strained the tyres against the kerb and burst them. When I drove off there was a loud screeching like i had a stone caught in the brake pads, this continued and then stopped after a couple of miles. I took it to a tyre place who checked out the tyres and brakes and declared them perfect, so no fault
• Volvo S60 Handbrake problem 6 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I have a Volvo S60 and during the cool spell a couple of weeks ago my handbrake locked on overnight. My drive is on a slight incline. When I went to move the car I had to gently rock the car forwards and backwards (using the engine) and the brakes became free with a load "smack" type noise. Took

  Hello! A couple of days ago (after another hard evening trying to survive after-work traffic) I've noticed a weird squeaky noise coming somewhere from under the car. - It is not rev related or gear related. - If I apply the brakes the noise stops (even if the car is still rolling, i.e. applying
• What is it with motorcyclists? 23 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  motorist has then to brake and make space rather than hit the motorcyclist. - While waiting at traffic lights, pull alongside the leading car. When the lights change they cut across into the path of the car not realising that the car is also pulling away at the lights. A very interesting manouver
