It was a non-standard unit, so the first thing I did was buy a new one thinking the old radio was goosed, however this was not working either. The car in question is a 1996 corsa. I think I have worked out that there is power going through the yellow permanent…

Can anyone clarify the issue of crossing a zebra or pelican crossing. Is it legit to drive off, if at a zebra, the pedestrian has passed the "halfway" mark? or similarly has done the same under a flashing amber at a pelican? Any reference to qualify that in the HC appreciated. :beer:

Cheapest first time car
I'm learning to drive just now, so haven't even passed my test yet. :p I'm looking at cars, and which would be ideal for a first time car to own in terms of costs - both running, and purchase.
