• Signage of speed limits 13 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  I understand the concept where any road with street lighting X? yards apart is automatically a 30 limit, unless repeaters are posted to show some higher limit. I drive regularly along a road which is/was a normal 60 mph limited country 'A' road, with no lighting. Now some '50' signs have appeared
• Automotive new order - suggestions 10 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  that the vehicle in front of you is about to parallel park, do not drive up to their back bumper and prevent them from doing so. Having a Taxi / mini cab does not automatically confer the right to sit on double yellow lines completely blocking the highway while you wait for a pre-booked fare or collect the money
• First time continental drive - any advice? 13 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  Vienna) Thinking of driving on wrong side of the road makes me a bit scary. So, what advise you folks have? I plan to hire an automatic as I shall have time to concentrate on roads rather than fighting with gearstick in wrong hand! Thanx
• Zafira alarm problem 16 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Son's 1999 2.0 diesel Zafira alarm keeps going off for no obvious reason which is, understandably, driving him mad. (His neighbours too, of course) It sets itself automatically on locking the car and when it goes off he says it can only be silenced by starting the engine. His usual trusted indy
• small car for around £4.5k? 3 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  My parents are looking for a small town car, mainly for my Mom to drive. It will replace her much loved f reg Nova! She wants something similar in size and around either 1.0 or 1.2 engine size. Possibly an automatic - though I guess that would only come with a bigger engine? Should also be easy
• Mondeo TDCI shuts off 30 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  My Mondeo TDCI 2.0 (2002) automatic gearbox, with 90.000 miles, when warm, (at normal working temperature), around 60 / 70 MPH enters "safety mode", (the glow plug lights) and 9 out of 10, a few seconds later, the engine shuts off. I stop, restart the car and everything is ok ! and the problem
• Fiat Panda Selecta 16 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Hello, I need to change the gearbox oil in my Panda Selecta, the CVT automatic box, and have not had much success in tracking down the oil. Apparently you can use Dexron for topping up but not for refilling. The Fiat agents weren't very helpful but told me I should use Tuvala CVT oil
• anyone tried the focus/astra autos? 7 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, I am looking for a new family car with some boot space (so looking at estate models). Safety being the priority and size vs space, I am looking at the new focus and astra estates. Problem is, I need an automatic for the wife, and can find NO auto reviews of either car. All I have learnt so
• Accord - how much is it worth? 30 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Just a quick query - my Grandad is thinking about trading in his Honda Accord for a new Astra, but has no idea what to expect since it's got a tiny milage on it (circa 20k IIRC, may be less). It's X-reg, the SE Executive saloon variant with the 2.0 petrol engine and automatic gearbox.. Full

• 2001 Mondeo 115 Tddi turbo surge 15 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I've been running my Mondeo for nearly a year now covering some 20k miles. On odd occasions during acceleration the turbo becomes what might be described as 'lumpy'. It feels like the effect of a 'kick-down' on an automatic and the engine gives out a throaty noise, it will then clear itself to give
• Optimate Battery charger 8 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  Not exactly 4 wheel, but definately automotive related. I have been given a Optimate Battery charger to charge the battery on my CBR1000F. It has additional features to diagnose plate sulphation and automatically semi discharge/ recharge to keep the battery at 100% capacity if it is kept
• Focus electric windows 28 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Having read that Focus locks can be re-programmed (to automatically lock at 5 mph) I got to wondering what else can be re-programmed. For example, is it possible to re-programme the electric windows such that the front passenger window can be operated when the ignition is switched off? My partner
• SORN and Road Tax Refund 26 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  ... Will the DVLA automatically refund the outstanding road tax? Or do I have to take the tax disc to the local Post Office for a refund? Or should I have included the tax disc with the SORN form (too late now)? I am assuming the car can't be both taxed and SORNed simultaneously. Ian
• Starting cycle. 3 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I have a majesty 125cc scooter (automatic trans). The problem I have is that it will start first time every time. However, if I switch the scooter engine off, and then switch it back on in less than 15 minutes, it can take two attempts to restart. It is reluctant to start from restart and cuts off
• Looking for a Mercedes A-Class 4 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Hi all, my gran is considering buying a new or nearly new Mercedes A-Class automatic. I know that I sell cars, but to be honest, the firm I work for doesn't really have anything suitable, so I'm looking around to try and find one in a Merc main dealer. Has anyone got any advice about where
• Small reliable auto? 30 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Sorry for starting off another "which car should I buy for £x" thread. My son will shortly be looking for a smallish car but must be an automatic as he has been used to driving one after spending a few years in Japan. The car he was driving was a 600cc auto with air con which had to have the air
