  • Is this country a nasty place to live for motorist 12 Jan 2010 (Forum)
    instruction was requested rather enforced, it would become unusable by the intended user as so many would take a liberty - same principle as parking fines. Grrrrr. Thoughts?

  • Mercedes Benz - 1998 24 intermittent failure to move when in D or 5 Sep 2008 (Forum)
    once over 40mph, though. Hard to tell 'cos traffic quite heavy. Another 2 miles to home - but when I slowed to park in a space, forward drive failed - lever in drive but no forward motion when foot on gas! Put in reverse - same thing - just rolled foward (parked on slight downward slope). I moved

    me. Other car's bonnet is crumpled, grille caved in, lights and wings are fine, bumper should pop back into place. Basically a typical enough car park accident, small earthquake in Peru, not many dead. The police didn't attend so little or no chance of a due care prosecution either. Anyway

  • Honda Civic - Dart charge 28 Sep 2024 (Forum)
    Just received a fine for Dart charge for my wife's car. This is for the 3rd September at 9.40 at night. As we live in North Wales and have not been down south for years by car what do we do about it? She was at work until 4.30pm on that day and then came home. I cannot seem to get any sense out
  • Ford Fiesta - Overfilling petrol tank? 29 Nov 2020 (Forum)
    not an issue?   Having realised that my tank was full, I went for a drive for 2 - 3 miles to burn some of it off.  Do you think I've caused any immediate or long-term damage?   Also, would it be fine to leave it / parked up for the next two weeks if I don't plan
  • 2005 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 (9N) - Dodgy CV Joint? 23 Jul 2013 (Forum)
    I can hear clunking coming from the driver's side, mainly when I reverse out of my driveway and turn into the road after the car has been parked overnight. It's fine during normal driving, apart from what I can only describe as a very slight wobble / shudder sometimes during braking

    there performed multiple pressure tests, water test etc. No puncture found! They replaced it back onto the car - and its been fine ever since. Where I work and park (secure area) its extremely unlikely someone let it down. So, what else could have caused this ? 
  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 99 1.8 Handrake not working (back drums) 3 Nov 2009 (Forum)
    Handbrake hasn't been working that well lately and also back wheels would seize sometimes when it's been parked for a few days in the rain. So today I changed the back shoes (which were quite worn), but now the handbrake seems worse. I reckon the adjusters are OK (could hear them ratchet up when I

  • Faulty ABS - MOT failure? 6 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    The ABS sensors in my car (Hyundai Accent X-reg) have packed up. The dealer said it would need new sensors and new drive shafts leading to a whopping £700 bill. Since normal braking is fine, I don't want to fix it. But is it going to fail in MOT? There is a single red warning light on dash
