Hi, since I prefer to buy older vehicle models (which are usually not produced at the time of purchase) and drive them for quite a long time, I would be interested in which manufacturers here guarantee a safe spare parts supply over a very long period of time and which manufacturers here leave the (youngtimer) owners rather in the rain. At Opel I have had very good experiences in the past years, at Ford and VW rather less good. How do your experience look like? and where is it special?

On the basis of a current occasion, I would also like to discuss it here, that I think it makes sense to label all liquid containers in the paddock with a label (English + local language) which is to be removed from what is contained in the container. Notes (among other things): I do not think it is necessary here to point out in detail the criminal consequences, if someone is water-damaging liquids in water, in the toilet (also a sewage plant does not take as much) o the waste water ducts (and water-hazardous fluids which are biodegradable are also present in the gully).

Hello! Had a nice experience last Friday at the HU, such a somewhat unfriendly Dekra examiner in my MB-representation. Could somehow find nothing on my 15 year old 190. But then started. Left taillight darker than the right. Uh what please? Both 10W pears, one just new (something brighter) and the other just older. Well, little lack, what about…. And then? My standlight wouldn’t be white enough??? Have installed flashers with standlight, so yellow bulb f The whole thing of course with test mark and ABE, so no problem. I thought. No, stand light was not white enough, he doesn’t agree with it, so he couldn’t let me through. I then stayed nice, yes, I will have it rebuilt, so he signed a direct order in the workshop and then he gave me the badge. To do this as an edition in the Tüv report, change the stand light. ABE didn’t interest him at all. But how now? Re Is an ABE no longer at all? Greetings Meik P.S. The workshop order was of course immediately torn apart again,)

If I drive with my KA on the right lane of a two-lane highway at 150 km/h and see a truck ahead, which is very likely to drive 90 km/h, I can then switch to the left lane to overtake, although a faster car with 180 km/h comes in from the far back? The left-hand driver should, if I turn left, reduce his speed by 30 km/h to my speed of 150 km/h. On the other hand, I remained right to the left driver (and possibly still we During a trip from Cologne to Hanover via the A1 and A2 this question constantly arises to me and mostly I care to overtake to the left, especially if the faster left-hand driver does not “come into the pushes and there is no danger. Some specialists then pretend that their vehicle suffers from acute braking failure and drive up to 30 cm on – but that’s another topic.

Hello! we from the SAT1 car magazine are looking for people who have already been involved in an accident by eating at the wheel or have thereby got into a burning situation! Thanks already… 😉

Good day dear MT user. When I got to eat at the golden seagull yesterday, I suddenly heard such a funny noise while steering. I quickly parked in order to prevent anyone from getting there. The Yellow Angels dragged me to the car dealership at night. This morning I got the call from the car dealership that burst the servo hose. Cost for the hose 100€ + 400€ installation. Well, my question is therefore. I got the car at the beginning of December 2008 at an Autoha We bought it from me around the corner. In addition, the dealers usually gave us warranty in kind and I also made a car warranty. However, the car warranty does not apply for the damage, if it had been the servo pump then yes. Well, long talk short sense. my question is. Holds for the lack the car dealership where I bought the car. MFG Rico

Hello forum! I would like to describe to you a situation that comes almost every day on my way home. So: Means the A59, direction Bonn -> Cologne. Between the junction Wahn and airport the road is 3 lanes. That is, the stand strip was prepared as a lane. There are signs that in 2000m the right lane will lead to the departure and only the middle and left further. I have to leave airport, so order me right one. If I now drive the allowed 100 right there, I would overtake a lot of vehicles to the right which drive further towards Cologne. I order myself to the right because: 1.) Right-hand driving bid 2.) Do I drive at the end of the 3 lanes yes from the A59. So the right-hand crossing is when I drive past the vehicles which just because of the signs do not change to the right but stay on the middle lane? As I said I drive at the end of the track off the train! I am a MfG Surfkiller20 P.S: I can’t take pictures during the ride. So I link to photos from the motorway atlas. You can see them HERE. The first two photos show the situation very nicely.

Hello, I have a question how to behave best when one of you is close to driving, or if “light” braking is allowed? I was on the A60 on the way this morning, so around 140km/h fast, when I wanted to overtake a column of trucks. Before changing lanes I saw a black Audi from even greater distance, which was a little faster (~30km/h) than I was, but still relatively far away. So I set to overtake and drove on the left After I overtook the first truck, however, the Audi drove me very close, better said he drove towards me without slowing down speed and then brake strongly. he then drove at about 140km/h half a meter behind me which made me really scared, because I didn’t even see the headlights, but only the windshield of the backman. I saw the rear of the car and the rear of the car. At first a second honked to make the backman clear, to keep a little bit more distance. However, this was answered with back honk and light honk. Then I broke the overtaking process, I took the foot off the gas and pressed the brake to the pressure point and under constant horned the speed “easy” but steadily reduced and shunted behind the truck against a. The idiot then of course honked back and constantly pressed the light honk, through the rear mirror could ic h look that this was wild in his prolet-car on the gesticulation. He looked kind of funny…… .. after all, he didn’t want to have me in front of him. Was my behaviour allowed???? I couldn’t drive faster at the moment, because I had a car in front of me and the Audi so drove you up so that it would have been too dangerous to keep driving. If this full idiot had left at least 5 m behind me, then I wouldn’t have been so excited, but half a meter was really not very much at 140. It’s not as if I had blocked the left lane at 80 km/h alone, then I could have understood that if you made clear with light and horny times to the frontman, which is in Germany Reichsfahrgebot. I am every year about 30,000km on the road and meet constantly on such idiots which are simply too stupid to keep distance.

I think I’ll put this in here, should be the most suitable section. To the topic: A neighbor of us wants to make a new attempt to make the car driver’s license and consider having to train on automatic vehicles based on a tip from her father. Therefore, to my knowledge, she should drive only automatic vehicles later. But how does this work with automated gears (half-automatic)? These can be operated automatically or you can drive them automatically. switch manually (by manually triggering the switching process with “+” or “-“), you just don’t have to couple any more, this is still done automatically (there is no clutch pedal). We were a bit at a loss now whether you can drive semi-automatics with a car driver license limited to automatic vehicles (they are somehow automatic and somehow also not…) or whether the driving licence only refers to full automatics (converter gearboxes). Or semi-automatics only in the automatic mode (so not in manual mode, how did you want to control it?) or or or. Does anyone else know? I told her not to take the lead on automatic vehicles, because you restrict yourself quite strongly for later and the advantage of automatics in driving school lasts at most a few hours (namely the “train phase” for the conventional coupling and switching), the disadvantage of being allowed to drive only automatic vehicles, but possibly for a lifetime. question (see above) is still unresolved in the room. Ciao!

Hello everybody! a tüv forum or similar I didn’t find, so it will probably fit best here: a colleague of mine came with my car in a police control – standard control. They examined the vehicle (it is a little deeper, track broadening + thicker flaps) and started to nagging directly: they thought it would be thought that the rear tyres were not sufficiently free-accessible, as rubber tracks on the inner wheelbox are to be seen. The fact is: on my car everything is 100% registered (was at the tuv south) and nothing has been subsequently manipulated or similar (would not have had the know-how). The rubber tracks could at most stir therefore, that the car was temporarily overloaded during a move – however, it may also be that this is still from the previous owner. The fact is that it is so registered and since nothing has been changed. threatened penalty: 3 points and 75 euros…! I must probably go to the tuv/dekra and there is a pre-freeze certificate, which from which is filled out after the inspection and then goes to the registration office+ from there again to the police. I understandably am a bit upset, since the accusations really do not apply in the least. does someone have experiences with similar or. knows if this often happens that the police is wrong? I am most interested in how those will react to the tuev/dekra… after all everything is registered and you can not just assume that the In addition, it is important to note that there is a need to ensure that the data are either waste or that “what has been changed” has been introduced. mfg, ben
