  • Grandad's Accord auto - advice? 16 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    I took the chance to drive my Grandad's Honda Accord SE 2.0 auto last night to the hospital to pick up my Grandma (my own car picked up a flat tyre and I didn't have time to change it - I'm on his insurance under some weird Saga emergency use thing so I'm pretty sure it was legal). Anyhoo - it's X
  • Advanced Driving Test - worth the money? 15 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    Evening! Been doing a bit of research into this, since being driven into has recently made me a little bit more well off. Thought it might be fitting (although the crash was in no way my fault, before you start) to spend a small amount of it in getting my advanced driving licence. It looks like

  • Advice on driving across Europe 13 Apr 2005 (Forum)
    Hi All In June/July I will be driving across Europe with my wife, to Linz in Austria for my sisters wedding. We're going to take a week each way, and try to see/do as much as possible. I have not driven in Europe at all before, so it's all a bit scary and I thought I'd ask here for any advice
  • Test Drives. How did you get the one you wanted? 9 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    Morning again one and all.   Following on from my previous thread (asking for car buying advice) I would like to ask about Test Drives. Until recently  I have always known exactly what car I wanted. 3 x XJ in a row and a RangeRover before that. Test Drive was easy

    Hey guys, just looking for a bit of advice, on Sunday I was driving to work at 4.30am and I got pulled over, they police said "because of the time I'm going to have to ask you to do a quick breath test".  I hadn't done anything else and was within the speed limit when they pulled me

    I have a 2008 SEAT Alhambra – it has done 46500 miles.   I have a problem with the drive.    In the last year (15,000 miles), I’ve had 3 sets of disks and pads because the disks have warped.  In attempt to find the cause
  • Driving in Europe with HID Xenon lamps!! 28 Jul 2014 (Forum)
    I can't believe after all this time of HID Xenon lamps being available on a lot of cars these days that dealers (sales in particular) are not aware that you have to adjust them to drive on the right in Europe. Having looked at a Skoda Superb and a Ford Mondeo, both of which offer Xenon lamps, I

    . This person comes up to me and says “sorry I don’t know how to drive, do you mind moving my car for me? If you reversed it onto the road I’m sure I would be able to drive it forward ok” I politely declined and explained I wouldn’t be insured so I wouldn’t take the risk

  • Any - Cold weather driving 17 Jan 2012 (Forum)
    Well, now that we've got a bit of respite from the damp, grey, blustery weather and are enjoying a snap of 'proper winter, I thought that I'd start a thread of cold weather driving. This year, I've started using the hot water on the windscreen de-icing trick. Fantastic! Thermos of hot

    Hi I have a Zafira B, 1.9 CDTI and recently, when I was going round a roundabout, I heard a mechanical type click. Anyway - did not think much of it until I realised that the car was not driving straight. Basically, if I let go of the steering wheel on a flat/stright road, the steering wheel
  • US/UK License and Driving 26 Nov 2007 (Forum)
    but still have a few questions. It would be great if any of you can provide some help. 1. If I apply for a UK provisional license, can I drive alone, or do I need somebody on my side at all times? 2. How long after I get the provisional license before I can sit on a test? 3. When it is time for practical

  • Alternatives to Polo? 16 Mar 2004 (Forum)
    We have a 2002 Polo (new shape 1.2 65bhp), but having had some problems, we're considering a change. The problem is, we've not seen anything in its class or price range which compares with it (in terms of how it drives, how solid it feels, how it feels like a bigger car than it is etc.). Have
