Spec Camera Loophole Closed?
Has the reported loophole that these cameras can't track you if you change lane been closed? I'm seeing more and more used on sliproads and if the above still happened, it would be a pointless camera.

Renault Clio 04 plate dci65 question
My sister bought a new car yesterday and I've bought her "old" 04 plate Renault Clio 1.5dci 65 off her. Great little car.. air con, electric windows.. both a luxury compared to what I've been driving.. but I've got one little niggle with it. The clutch seems very very heavy. I've had company cars before so I've driven…

Large car specialists?
Does anyone know of any specialists in mpvs/large cars that are fairly central in England? I need a new (to me) 8 seater so am looking at a Peugeot 806, Citroen C8, or Ford Tourneo having ruled out an Emina or a Ulysse. Trouble is they are like hen's teeth, so I could do with finding a garage somewhere that has more than…

Arriva not fulfilling their "customer promise"
I regularly travel to uni using Arriva (Scotland West) buses. Generally they're reasonably reliable, however the other week a bus at scheduled for 11pm never turned up.

Is car servicing really necessary ?
Apologies for writing such a mischievous title but I wanted to provoke a healthy debate on this subject. I've come to the conclusion that when I take my car to the garage for it's service the garage will invariably tell me that this and that needs doing and that I should really agree to having all the work done as it makes…

Selling A Prize Draw Car
Hope someone can give me some advice. I have been drawn out of a prize draw for a new Toyota Prius and have all the details and just need to arrange the insurance. The thing is I already have an ok car and as such I would rather sell the car and pocket the cash. I really could do with this cash as soon as possible and…

I wanna buy a car!
(Strictly speaking, that ain't true. DH has just been offered a job on condition he has a car within two weeks, and it's a good job, so he's going for it. I would be quite happy to continue with our car-free status otherwise.) I've not owned a car for years (and the one I had was a pressie from my beloved parents so I've…
