  • Driving after a cataract operation 20 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    ............ how long after a cataract operation do you normally have to wait before you can drive again?
  • Could you drive across a ploughed field? 8 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    Just passed a newly-ploughed field, and very nice it looked, too, in an earthy sort of way. Got me wondering what vehicle could drive across it? Bear in mind the furrows (agricultural term, that) were quite deep and the sods (another one) were quite large. I reckon anything short
  • BMW 3-Series E36 conv (1994 - 2000) - 318 - logisitics of driving. 17 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    Just wondering the logistics of being able to drive an E36 convertible, 318, so only 115bhp. Thats the same power as a Focus 1.6. 20 with 2 years no claims and no convictions whatsoever. Only thing is insurance group 14 - i got a quote for a 90s MX-5 which is of a similar classification
  • Route Suggestions : Calais - Almeria 30 May 2007 (Forum)
    Hello, For a change this september instead of driving to Northern Italy, I'm driving down to Almaria (Well in the mountains nearby) to see my brother. I'd like to avoid the motroways and I want to go over the mountains rather than through them. Any suggestions gratefully received cos I have
  • Driving damaged cars 24 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    Do the companies who repair damaged cars on behalf of insurers have the right to drive these damaged cars to their workshop (even when the cars are in a drivable condition) without notifying the owner of the car that this is their intention? Most people would assume that they put a damaged car
  • Driving in Northern Ireland 17 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    Not much traffic; great roads, many with long straights for easy overtaking; good driving habits (eg little or no tailgating, ditto aggression); fine scenery. No speed cameras (as far as I could tell), though a few camera warning signs. Didn't see a cop outside Belfast (though each town had its
  • Popping & banging Fiesta 13 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    My '03' reg Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec has a 'popping & banging' sound when after it's being revved up. I can't find any leaks around the exhaust pipe, it recently had both Lamba sensors recently & it drives fine but the poping persists. Could this be because it's out of tune or something more

  • Ciroen zx 1.8 Station Wagon Drive Shaft 9 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    I am changing the right outer booth on the drive shaft of my zx 95 stationwagon 1.8. I just wonder how to draw it from the gearbox? It yokes back and forth about 50 mm. But I can't get it to let go. Do you have a picture from the repair manual and/or text describing the howto instruction
  • oi, that's my bit of road! 19 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    I regularly drive along B roads and lesser A roads and there seems to be an increasing incidence of people driving at me on my side of the road. Bends, blind bends and straight roads. Last night I had a guy coming at me with the white lines right down the centre of his car on a blind bend
  • Transit with Durashift 16 Jun 2006 (Forum)
    I own a Motorcaravan based on the Ford Transit and am thinking of changing it for a newer model equipped with the Ford Durashift automatic transmission. What I would like to know about is other peoples impressions of driving such a vehicle, for example, is the gear change smooth, how reliable has
  • Driving an unisured car on your Ins. 3 Jun 2006 (Forum)
    Is correct you can drive an uninsured car on your Comprehensive policy providing it has an MOT and Tax, and it will only cover third party. Would this also cover fire and theft. A friend who's car is off the road for major repairs, has been offered an uninsured car to use while his is being
  • Ok to drive with no bumper? 23 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    I'll be doing a bit of DIY on the rear of my car, and it would be convenient to leave the rear bumper off whilst continuing to drive the car. Will I be contravening the Construction and Use regulations in any way? Neither the number plate nor any lights are incorporated in the bumper
  • Reversing method 18 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    The saga of my daughter's driving continues. She failed her second driving test this week. Going forward, she's a competent enough driver to pass. But her reversing isn't good. As this saga has been going on through 18 months of lessons it's becoming an expensive problem and living in Northern
  • Left Hand Drive Car 26 Jan 2006 (Forum)
    Hi all, Got a car which is left hand drive, which could come over to the UK to be registered and used. It uses LPG already so almost makes sense as the conversion has already been done, and the cost of LPG in our area is still around 39p/l. My question is, will the insurance company have

  • Lost Driving Licence, 9 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    Hi Does anybody know how long it takes to replace a driving licence? spent most of last night looking for mine and i'm going away at the end of the month. Can you turn up and wait like passports or is their varying levels of speed depending on how much you pay? I know i'll find it right after
  • Auto v Manual 16 May 2004 (Forum)
    Up until December, I would never even have contemplated driving an auto. I then fancied a Merc, and discovered that they had to be autos, so an auto it was. Since then I haven't looked back, and bought an auto Audi 100. Personally, for London driving (of which I don't do a lot, but enough
