• Any - What does sport model actually mean 22 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  I appreciate it probably varies between makers.  However, I was surprised when a friend referred to her sports model car as being comfortable.  I have always thought of sports automatically being uncomfortable.  Does a sports suspension mean a harder ride ?  Is this yet

  Hi, I have a 2003 2.0 Mondeo 130bhp TDCi (automatic). The fuel pump is dying and the mechanic reckons a new one, to fit, will cost nearly about £1200!! Will a reconditioned one work, or will that still be coded to another vehicle? What is a reasonable price for getting this job done

• Full/Moped Licence 12 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  When I sent off my (paper) full car driving licence I also had the entitlement to ride a moped. When I got a photocard licence back I'd lost this entitlement. Does having a full car licence still give you the automatic right to ride a moped (without L-plates) or have the rules been changed?

• M6 Toll payment - card, no PIN 17 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  How come the M6 Toll card payment machines don't need a PIN? You just put your (in my case Visa) card in, it comes out a second later, and the barrier lifts - faster than cash. Do they get special dispensation? Why do automatic petrol pumps (to use another motoring example) need a PIN?
