Recently drove for 100 + miles in almost monsoon conditions from Inverness to Lochgilphead - I noticed after a while that the the auto box wasn't changing down as normal and was staying in a gear higher than normal :confused: - would the slippery conditions have triggered something in the g/box...

Not sure if this is the correct area to post this but I would like to know if anyone knows what the nuts fixed to the roof are. I have bought a second hand set of Thule roof bars for an E-class assuming they would be the same and with a little trimming to the rubber feet they do fit...

Just Interested as I was stopped by an unmarked car today.. I had no excuse and put my hands up to answering my phone whilst driving.. Was in the wifes car, no handsfree, but still no excuse... Should have known better after the stories of unmarked cars and helicopters following our every...

The thread title says it all. Do I need to notify my insurer immediately or do I wait until I renew? I'm uncertain if I'm "obliged" to do so and I'd rather avoid paying OTT "admin" fees where possible! :)

Former Eastenders star Dean Gaffney escaped a driving ban today after he was caught on the M25 in roadworks doing nearly 100mph and talking on a mobile. Gaffney, 29 from Great Bookham, Surrey, was given a £115 fine, £43 costs and 3 penalty points by Guildford Magistrates' Court, but he didn't...

I was driving along on the weekend and went through a amber light which changed to red as i crossed the white line. I was turning right in to a side road and the police were coming out of the side road there was one officer in a traffic car he stopped me and gave me 3 points saying that if his...

If you forget who was driving when caught by a speed camera....6 points! http://news.sky.com/skynews/video/videoplayer/0,,30000-1285332,.html

I have no problem with this legislation, but does it then give the impression that it is okay to use a CB or amateur radio whilst driving? (Holding, or using a microphone) Likewise is it okay to program any type of GPS whilst driving? Then we start looking at Tuning a radio, Replacing a...

Penalty points accumalated in NI are not recorded in GB. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6272855.stm

In the past I was told by Insurance company staff/brokers that fixed penalty points for i.e. SP30 three points would not affect or bump up a premium but any more than six and you would be in trouble. Insured my Dad on my renewal policy last night (he has picked up 3 points) and premium by...

OK, following the speed camera thread, and the chap that got jailed in Manchester for perverting the cause of justice for lying on the speeding ticket form Heres a poll - how many people do you know that have taken points on their licence for a friend/partner/spouse/money. I think its very...

Quick question – If a vehicle has a slight over hanging load – i.e. some timber hanging out of the rear door (but by a small amount) on a van then is that a penalty endorseable offence of 3 points as well as the £60 fine…?

Then take a look at this, free taxi's for the duration of any up and coming ban ! https://www.licenceguard.com/ssl/start.asp?rn=LG6SMART&co=LG6KJUHWWWEJCNNSSD

Would anyone know: is it possible to have ISOFIX attachment points added to an existing car that was ordered without them? 2005 W211 in my case... thanks much for any comments.

Hi, I've been reading the thread regarding timing chains on the C230 K four-pot and wondered if there were the same sorts of issues on the V6 unit? What are the weak points or common issues on the 2.4 I should look out for (mine's done 114K) Laz --

Folks, As a matter of courtesy, if you're going to leave me negative reputation points, could you plesae sign them so that I at least know who they're from? A comment as to why would also be nice. I mean, I know they don't actually mean anything, but this is just common courtesy surely...
