  with a spanner in is showing in the dash when turned to position 2. When pressing the brake and accelerator to get the faut code I get two codes. 0560 - low system voltage input, and 2108 - something to do with the ABS. (Don't think that would stop the car starting.) Also the central locking no longer works

  %.  That would be easy to do in public car-parks. As well as the motor feeding power back into the battery on downhill stretches and when braking, the shock absorbers will have coils around them to generated power, much like those torches that you shake back and forth.   I remember the dirt roads

  a side road I’ve once or twice had to brake sharply when I realised that a dark coloured car with sidelights only was approaching fast and close. P.S. Can I suggest that Shaun the Sheep be nominated as new Minister for Transport ? He is the candidate most likely to sort things

  to just using brakes and maybe changing down just before car stops? Is it still totally stationery for a STOP sign, but don't need to stop for Give Way? Is it still a no no to change gear during a manoeuvre like going round a roundabout? At traffic lights, do you sit with handbrake on and in neutral
