| Equivalents to a car's CO2 output? | 26 Mar 2006 01:21 GMT | 3 |

| Wiper parking | 25 Mar 2006 21:55 GMT | 9 |
So, why would a perfectly functioning rear wiper suddenly stop parking itself and just come to rest wherever I happen to release the lever, the lazy bastard? Si

| Maintainable diesels | 25 Mar 2006 00:43 GMT | 58 |

I have and 1996 P reg Vauxhall Astra 1.6 GLSi the rear end of the exhaust seems to make a weird puffing sound(hard to explain). This sound is not there when you first turn the car on and only starts up after a little while or if you rev the car, you can then hear it all

Arrived at work after a 6min drive, very cold. Reversed to parking space and saw bluey smoke under the car. I turned it off and jumped out. I first thought it was the exhaust or a fire but it was coming out of a small 1/inch dia pipe parallel to the exhaust

I've had a look at the website: <http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/budget2006/pn02.htm> It seems that the new VED Band G (CO2 >226 g/km) only applies to new cars registered after 23 March 2006. This means that those of you who already own
