| Today I drove for the first time - | 30 Nov 2008 08:08 GMT | 4 |
A Mega van. To be precise, the two cylinder, "long" wheelbase diesel. An interesting few minutes, I only went round the block. Quite hilarious and much amusement for SWMBO and the pedestrians in the vicinity, for once presumably feeling they were harder than the traffic. It's ...

| Anti-slip pads for pedals | 29 Nov 2008 14:30 GMT | 6 |
Hi I have this problem that the anti-slip foot pad on my clutch pedal fell off. I thought I'd got it back on, but a few days later it fell off again. It's really awkward to try to force it onto the pedal. Is there a trick (e.g. using pliers)? Are my fingers just not nimble enough? ...

| Citroen Xsara Picasso - any good? | 28 Nov 2008 09:30 GMT | 8 |
My mum's after something with more room than her Jimny to run my gran about in. Doesn't have to be new, preferably less than £2000 as she wants to pay cash and just run it until it (or my gran!) dies. She's spotted quite a few 2001/2 Xsara Picasso 1.6 petrol models with 50-60k ...

| What car to buy for say £5k? | 23 Nov 2008 14:32 GMT | 46 |
My wife recently had her fifth accident in 6 years, writing off our Saab 9-5. So, to replace it I need a safe car. It also needs to be auto, as she never got the hang of the gear stick thingy in the middle of the car. I don't really want to spend more than around £5k as she does ...

I have read a lot of the debates for and against fwd and rwd cars, and having had to take out a RWD car today (having mainly only driven FWD cars), I was a bit panicked.. especially as the roads were wet and slippery (country lanes). however the car performed perfectly and I ...

Decent handling, well made and fairly quick, mid hatch sized are the requirements. First thoughts are the old Seat Ibiza GTIs made up to about 98/99, but they're a bit thin on the ground, however they are cheap when they come up.
