  Gadgets the go bing.... Have used two cars that have them. Very useful on motorways - set them for the upper limit of your preferred speed range and they stop you drifting upwards if the rest of the traffic does. I also tested a Merc with a speed limiter - like a cruise control but in reverse

  At lunchtime, I was accused of reversing into a car in a shop car park.

  ) underbonnet catch in a unique position and up, down, left or right movement to open, and actually propping the bonnet open requires both hands. Could this be why so many drivers neglect basic maintenance?  So many of the modern goodies like "auto hold"  "hill hold", reversing cameras

  believe it's pretty crucial for the longevity of the timing chain to have had regular oil changes?  We both like the interior design, and the reverse camera and optional sat nav are attractive options, which don't seem to be present on similar family cars of similar ages.  Could anyone give me
• Black tinted rear window driving at night 15 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  headlight. I can't make out the colour, make or model of car. This is useful, as I like to keep out of the way of faster cars when overtaking.  It is also annoying when reverse parking at night. As you cant see much. I do have parking sensors. The rear parking camera is useless at night as all I

  Hi, I've recently got a PCN for "entering" to the London Congestion Charge zone, whereas I stopped before the line of the sign and reversed out (I was in the street only 1-2m). It's even visible on the PCN photos (that I reversed out). See photo, the line of the sign is 2-3m more

  After three 100% problem-free years, the rear parking sensors have now started playing up. The buzzer now stays on for no reason when reversing. I've checked the sensors for mud etc. , but all seems OK. The centre alarm is the only one to show on the screen. I know I can turn the whole thing off

• Hyundai i30 - Hire car 20 Jan 2024 (Forum)
  but in the i30 it feels wrong to me. I think it is the thrummy note which makes it sound a bit frail ( I am sure it isn't actually) in comparison to a 4-cylinder. It is probably the base model so only has 4 e-windows, a reverse camera and little other frippery. This is good. The handbrake
