    Need help diagnosing a problem please

    think you have misread, the noise is when I turn the car, the car is not turning itself. The washer fluid was leaking into the wheel arch so may have been soaking the bearing, i daresay the additives in the fluid may not have done the bearing or any lubricants there much good, but thats...

    Stretched tyres

    the one thing that gets me is the assumption that "modern materials and designs" are assumed to be up to the job when stretched. That seems like a massive massive amount of short sightedness to me, and an assumption based on a total lack of evidence. New materials are certainly more robust...

    Need help diagnosing a problem please

    Helping friends move house

    For the most part moving house with a saloon limits the size of things you can transport to large suitcase size as the tail is not that huge. Though back when i had a hatch, anything that i could fit in was usually game as long as the person helped load it, pallettes, big ikea paintings...

    Best mate drive your car

    One or two of the female learners i know i would probably let drive somewhere like a carpark but not on the road. As for my firends, no chance, most of them would probably keep on the gas till they have no chance of making the next corner then climb the first available tree...

    When others drive

    A few of the works guys i work with i feel ok with as they are mature, family types who tend to be reasonably sensible drivers. But a lot of my friends are not the most responsible road users so i would probably not be a passenger with them. Though i have had a few first time passengers say...

    Help mee!

    probably try for something like a smallish hatchback like a ford fiesta, pugeot 106, wv polo, fiat punto, vauxhaul corsa. None are particuarly fast or powerful but they are fairly agile and small. After market parts are pretty common, also they are not too complex to work on. Fairly simple...

    Sleeping in your car

    One key peice of advice... do NOT do it drunk.. Sleeping in your car after drinking is classed as being drunk in charge of a vehicle whick leads to all sorts of court related "fun". You should be ok in private land at a race meet but public car parks after a night out etc is not advised.
