Police stats show increase in road casualties on unlit streetO
I recently wrote a post in which I said I did not feel as safe on unlit roads, although I know other people may not agree, and as a result I was having some brighter beams fitted on my dipped headlights.

Motorcycle accident - should I search for solicitor?
Hey, last Friday I've had a motorcycle accident. On the long straight (dotted single line) I was overtaking 3 cars, while I've already overtook the first car the middle one (The Silver Mercedes AMG) started to overtake the first car (he changed the lane very quick and without the indicator). I've had just 3-4 metres to…

Old car, no key fob, no alarm PIN, any advice?
So OH has bought an old car, and it came with one key, and no fob etc. The central locking doesn't work properly, the only door that reacts to the central locking button on the console in the car is the boot. It's not an issue with the fuse, and we have not yet been able to access the actuator to test it. The car is also…

Dealer 'admin fee'
Just bought a used car from a Main Dealer (Hyundai). Among the extras was an 'Admin fee' of £65. I queried this but was told it was a requirement and would have to appear on the agreement, even if we agreed to knock down other elements. Even though car dealers seem to be masters of adding extras to the price this one seems…

Any MOT testers here?
Got a real simple question if you wouldn't mind! Can a car pass an MOT if its engine doesn't run? Reason I ask is I got a car on the drive and the cooling system is a bit intermittent - to the point that I can't leave it running or the engine risks overheating. I'm wondering.. can I just disconnect the dizzy and put it in…

These plans are based on mileage and come in…

CVT - why all the hatred?
I did ask this on a related thread, but no-one seems to be coming up with anything other than "they're horrible". So I thought I might get more sensible answers if I asked in a new thread. Assuming they're set up properly CVTs are by far the most efficient and responsive trasmissions out there and, by their inherent…
