• Shell Optimax 23 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I apologise if this is old news, but I have just filled up at my local Shell station and I noticed that they had no optimax. The Lady in the shop explained that the recent fire at the oil refinery has had a severe impact on supplies of optimax. Shell?s policy is to supply the limited stocks
• VW Golf Bonnet release cable snapped 20 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Hello all I have an S reg 1998 VW golf and this morning i went out to open the bonnet and the cable snapped. I have stipped out the handle inside the car, this is fine but the whole cable pulls through the bulkhead. I guess the cable has snapped on the bonnet catch itself. Problem is, i cant open

• Leasing/contract hire 12 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  It´s my first time on the forum for a while (no home internet) so pardon me if I ask a silly question! Where are the links to contact hire/leasing offers? My son-in-law may well be looking to acquire a Shogun or Landcruiser for his business & I suggested a trip to hj.co.uk, only to recv. a text

  Dear people, I need to drive a load of scouts from s/east london to peak district this Friday evening (7oct). I presume traffic will be bad. I need suggestions on routes. I thought m11, a14, a1(m), a617 west (newark on trent) past m1. What do you think? Would it make any difference if I delayed
• Private Plate Abuse 25 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  I guestimate 1 in 3 private registrations I see are altered in some way - spaced incorectly, studs used to alter certain letters or numbers, size variations - for example 7's made to look like 1 or I. Whilst obviously hardly a major crime do the police actually bother to stop any

  Hi all, got an omega 1994 L. Brake light on n/s not working, but bulbs are ok. Tried 2/3 new ones. Is there a particular wire in the multiplug on back of light cluster to check?

• Over-cautious "slow" signs 15 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Is the establishment being over-cautious? Most of the ?slow? signs might have been relevant when there were no speed limits on rural roads, no MOT tests, no high-friction road surfaces and when vehicles were much cruder than they are now. But it?s hard to get into difficulties now in a modern
• tyres for shogun 14 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, need a new set of tyres for our 02 shogun lwb. The Dunlop TG35's have lasted 45k miles and have been OK, but I have nothing to compare with. Comfort, long life and wet grip are important. Low rolling resistance would be nice aswell. Off road driving is limited to a 1 mile pot holed unadopted
• getting paid for test drive 2 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I've received (in the post) an invitation from Citroen to take a test drive. Apparently, if I accept the invitation, I'll get £15 worth of M&S vouchers. Seems like a good offer to me! I take it other Citroen owners are all getting the same? (And do other manufacturers make this sort of offer

• Low mileage in a long period of time 3 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  At the risk of becoming boring, I'd like to repeat a question that was unanswered when it was part of an earlier thread. I'm considering buying a used car that has only done 1200 miles in 16 months. How harmful to the mechanical parts would the long period(s) of idleness have been? The car
