Megatrain - Any Rights?
I was travelling on the London to Runcorn train last night, when there was a signal failure at Crewe. So, I should have been in to Runcorn at 23.05, and actually got in at 01.15.

Advice on new SORN laws
Hey. I purchase a non-runner January of this year for spares for my own vehicle. I covered it up in my garage and called it a day.

Switchable 12V supply
I've thought about making a latch switch circuit for the cigar lighter supply in my 2002 Focus Ghia 2.0l. I want to put in a relay so the supply must be activated with the press of a button, so then when i turn the ignition off, the supply goes off. That way I can leave an FM transmitter or another device plugged in all…

When do I replace?
Hi I’m looking for some advice about when is the best time to trade in a newish car. Thanks to the scrappage scheme I managed to swap my absolute rust bucked of a Ford Ka for a 2009 Fiat Panda.
