• Building site plant 8 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  was scary...I hate automatics at the best of times but without even a brake pedal to stomp on as a last resort, was something else entirely! Of all the machines to design in this way, an off-road based one that needs good slow speed control would not be my first choice!  Good fun to hurl

  I have a 2001 Peugeot 306 hdi that has developed a starting fault. It will start when cold but turns over more than it used to. When it is hot it is much worse some times not starting at all. I can get it to start with a little squirt of brake cleaner and then it runs

• Interesting articles 28 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  (especially past a school or similar) but I also do get cheesed off by very slow drivers; it can be just as dangerous as driving too quickly (yes you! The chap in the Fiesta today who caused several of us to enter a motorway at 30mph because there was no way round you and you braked as you reached the end

  After recent accident (40mph, slammed brakes on) I noticed a vibration from the rear.  It turns out that both rear tyres are flat spotted. Insurance company said its impossible to flat spot tyres with ABS and implied that I'd done it doing a handbrake turn (I'm 46 and drive an Audi A4 TDI

  is that sometimes when braking to a stop with the foot on the pedal the engine revs drop 200-300 less than idle speed. I was wondering if this was related in any way? When driving today the diagnostic light went off and the engine doesnt overun now, is it worth still getting it in the garage

  Went for a test drive in a verso (main dealer) that had done under 35k miles and was 4 years old. Straight away I heard a noise like a wheel bearing along with the car stalling once and nearly stalling when coming up to lights, i.e. braking from 40 or 50 and then coasting in neutral from 5 or 10

  Can anyone help with advice on 53 reg Streetka suspension (don't think it's the same as Ka?). The lower end of the strut on this car is tied to the frame with a wishbone. At the inner end the wishbone is carried on two rubber bushes. I noticed when changing the brakes last week that the rubber
