• Donor Cards for Drivers. 7 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  This has the most tenuous of links to motoring. I found the thing so deeply moving and in many ways a metaphor for our times that I had to post it. This could have been any one of us. The guy's response is what got me. I could whinge on about how valuable life is and how important our friends
• Test Drive Help Please 3 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I was wondering if anyone can advise me please. Im taking a car on a 24 hour test drive. The guy is bringing it down 120 or so miles to me tommorrow afternoon...
• Flashing a trucker. 17 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Took a slowish cruise along the M25 today in not too much of a hurry to a non important business meeting, so this involved plodding along in lane one. During my trip I was overtaken by countless HGV's who left it quite a long time before returning into my lane maybe because judging the distance
• Ford Mustang 31 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Nice article in Saturday's DT Motoring section about James Cracknell's '67 Mustang import. Good to see the younger brigade discovering what we've known for years, that proper muscle cars emanated from Detroit. He didn't quite get it right though, a 351 cu in Boss Mustang 1969 was a lot more car. I
• Crazy moments 21 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  and is anything really that important to take such a risk?
• Vectra C SRi - Looking for quieter tyres 9 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I've got a 2003 Vectra SRi, 2.2DTi and a fabulous car. For those of you familiar with it, it has the stock Goodyear Eagle NCT5 215/50R17 91W. As the front tyres are coming up for replacement, I would like to find something a little more comfy and most important, quiet. The Goodyears seem
• Low Insurance, reliable, estate? 25 May 2004 (Forum)
  long trips down south every few months but as the cost of these would be shared fuel economy isn't so important. Cars i've considered so far are: Skoda Felicia Estate (seem to be rare) Nissan Almera Any more ideas? Many thanks, Damian
• Adding a passenger Airbag to a Focus? 4 May 2004 (Forum)
  is - is that really true? Surely its a matter of fitting the bag/cover and replacing the sensor unit in the centre console with one for 2 bags rather than one. Comments much appreciated as its the only thing thats putting us off buying the car as safety is important to us. In anticipation. Robert
• Valuing an Audi A6 2.5TDi 18 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  I have been offered an Audi A6 TDi, W registration, July (August?) 2000, 96000 miles, from a company I know for £9000. I am finding it very difficult to know the market value (guides produce huge variations because of the high milage. It is an imported car of high specification including leather
• Cheap Zafira 10 May 2003 (Forum)
  . A main dealer in London told us that it must be an import at that price. The dealers here are asking 9k for 3 year old ones !! No connection with B4C but have not seen a deal anywhere near this elsewhere just a very happy customer PS Honest John on your list of brokers today no mention of Vauxhalls
• Driving instructors 6 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Garrison's comment about being taught to apply the brake progressively when doing an emergency stop made me think about my driving instructor... Even as a beginner, he stressed the importance of watching far ahead and anticipating threats in the distance as well as up close. That's not really
• BMW 330i cold starting problem 27 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  My neighbour has got a just-out-of-warranty imported Y-reg BMW 330i with an intermittent cold start problem. He has owned the car from new. The car will start from hot OK, but cold starts are very difficult, but it will eventually start. Car has 15,000 miles and has been at the BMW franchised
• Fire Brigade Strike II 18 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  I am not that keen on having a non-motoring topic here. I am particularly not keen on having one so emotionally charged and potentially full of political argument. However, clearly it is important to people and it does have ramifications for all of us, including within our motoring lives. Given
• Upto 70% off UK new car list prices 26 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  , that means that a tax payer would have to earn around £22,000 to buy the car, or a year's average pay. I cannot understand this, why buy new?, imported or other wise? Alex
• Sat Telegraph - Poor article on child car seats 4 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Well I thought so. Most important thing is to ensure that the seat fits the car properly - everything else is secondary. This was buried at the bottom of the article and with no advice on how to check that it is fitted properly. There was also a mention of ISOFIX seats, but no mention
• Danish Toyota 28 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Readers who are looking at importation of a Toyota from Denmark might be interested to contact "Henrik Nielsen" . This seems to be close to one of the budget airline's Danish airport at Arhus. I was interested in an Avensis Verso at the time and contacted several European Toyota
• Leather Seats 4 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  know it's important to look after them. What's the best 'food' for them and how often should you nourish them? I know there was a thread somewhere but I can't find it. Could anyone refresh my sieve-like memory?
• V.I.N. 1 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  We are going to collect this week, a new VW Golf 1.6SE which has been imported from Sweden. Whilst researching possible sources and pitfalls, it came to light that some VW's are manufactured in South Africa and are exported to Europe and it has been suggested that they are of inferior quality. We

• remould tyres 9 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  I read a couple of years ago about how good remoulds were. Honest John told me it wasn't his column. anyway I believed it. apparently the Germans import lots of them from British Manufacturer Colway of Durham and fit them to high performance cars. This is because they are not allowed to repair
