Pug 206 pulling to one side... then other side
My 206 has started pulling to one side e.g left side quite quickly if I let go of the wheel. Then if I make a tight right turn it will then start pulling to the right and vice versa. Some times it is not as bad as other times. What could this be? I wouldn't have thought it was tracking or alignment. :o

How long should tyres last??
I know there's no definitive answer but basically in January 2011 we bought 3 new tyres ( brand new hankook ones ) for our car, 2 for the front and 1 to replace one of the rear ones that had had a puncture. The car has gone in for its service today and apparently the 2 front tyres are 85% worn and therefore need replacing.…

I've just had a conference call with Elephant and the DVLA and been told my driving licence was revoked back in 2006 (this is the first I'm aware of this).

Sold a car - now paranoid
We sold a car at the weekend for just over £4K (not an awful lot, and we had dropped £600 because we could not afford to keep it insured and sitting out in the road). The advert was simple, the people turned up, had a good look around it (under bonnet, in boot, looked underneath, looked at all the paperwork and service…

I'm soon to be commuting to a new job in Hertfordshire (A10ish) from East Sussex (A21). I've done the trip already for interviews and, on a good run, it's only an hour an half. This works for me as I've been commuting by train to London and that takes at least 2 hours. However, I have to contend with the Dartford Crossing…
