    I was recently driving in France and entered a tunnel, some matrix signs, lit up with a red circle on a black background with a ₡ symbol. Can any of the knowledgeable folk here tell me what it is (though I suspect it?s an impending fine). (The signs were just like those ones that tell you

    Like the look of the new Mazda 2 and fancy the 1.3 82 model. It's Insurance group 5 though; will that make it prohibitively expensive when I want to add my son to my policy to drive it when he turns 17 next year? s

  • V.W. sharon. wiper motor. 25 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    The winderscreen wipers on my wife`s Sharon have slowed up so much on a trip to Liverpool and at one point stopped in the middle of the screen. This was quiet frightening on the m-6 inpouring rain.The next day they seemed to operate ok. I just wondered whether any one out could shed some light

  • Citroen C4 Picasso 11 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    I've recently seen pictures of this. It will debut at Sept's Paris show. Although it must be extremely similar to other MPV's, like Zafira for example, it somehow looks really good. I also assume that, like other C4's, it will also be extremely cheap! Funny really, now the kids have grown up
  • Bull bars- fading away? 30 Jun 2006 (Forum)
    I saw an upmarket almost new 4X4 with a sort of bull bar fitted. It was just like a big inverted U shaped tube that sort of covered the grill. It made me realise than, certainly in urban S/W London / Surrey , they have almost disapperaed. Have bull bars faded out in other parts of the country?
