  • Inertia Reel Seat Belts 3 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    Hi, this is a very very long shot but I hope someone can help me... My father, Frank Loraine, was a toolmaker working for a small company in Edgware Middlesex in the 1960's. He was taken to the London Motorshow in the early/mid 60's, I believe 1963, and I was told it was because he had

    . 2) Now here`s the question. What`s next? The next big surprise in cars or motoring - that will have an effect on shares, or transform something already established. As an imaginary example - an `ever lasting` self cleaning spark plug about to be announced made out of a new alloy. There must
  • Upgraded Lightbulbs 8 Dec 2009 (Forum)
    As I transition from the Altea (leaves my care 5th Jan) to the Lancer (arrived in my stable November 28th) Its hard not to do side by side comparisons. One of which is lights. The dipped beams on the Altea (H7's) are superb. Bright white and sharply defined. The lancer (H4's) are not bad, good

  • Mercedes Benz - What did they do with the stock? 25 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    ?updated? their search interface this week (in the usual way of progress it?s fussier, clumsier and less easy to use than the one it replaced but that?s another matter.) Where has all the stock gone? Using the same criteria today it returned precisely two matches. I wondered if they?ve been alarmed
  • Need a Motorway estate to replace my 03? Focus est 14 Nov 2007 (Forum)
    weekend on the M1/A1. (Oh joy). The little focus isn?t really in it?s element here; it?s a bit noisy, vibrates a bit too much, and the journey is a bit more tiring than I think it needs be. I initially had the car given the once over; and it needed rear shocks, a wheel bearing and tyres: this helped

  • FIAT Panda 4x4 (2005 - ) - The Great Tyre Experiment 28 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    season tyres marked M+S (no, not Marks and Spencer) to give a bit of 4x4 credibility. I have chosen Hankook Centum H720's from mytyres, based on the reviews that the website provides. They are a good looking uni-directional tyre so handling may even improve in adverse conditions. Fitted locally

  • Driving in the 90s and 100s 20 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    of her BMW and being stopped by a lady to return it . I am all for keeping old folks mobile but surely we should have some sort of more stringent test 's for the over 80's and not leave it to purely to them to decide when it is time to give up.
  • L driver cheaper insurance loophole? 15 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    I've acquired a moped with a V5, for free. It doesn't run, but I think could be made to, but that 's incidental. My daugher will be 16 soon. I thought about getting a TP only policy for the moped, which will then give her a year's no claims bonus when she comes to drive for the first time a year
