    BW 35 S1 V8 Auto shifting issue

    I appreciate all your help on this issue, that sounds like it could be the case. Without being technical, it essentially is refusing to shift up when it should and the jolts up after the engine carries on accelerating and sounding like cars do when they need to shift up.

    BW 35 S1 V8 Auto shifting issue

    Car security general question

    Hello, I suppose this may be the best section to ask ( please move if not) but what does everyone here use for security? At present I have 'Club' style steering wheel lock but can anyone recommend anything better? I would perhaps invest in a clamp of some sort but I would look forward to...

    New Rover owner saying hello!

    Here are a handful of extra photos I managed to snap today. She was wearing a 'P' plate from her run to my house simply because I was following another vehicle and just for purposes of getting used to auto/driving after a two year break. Came back all naturally but I thought it would benefit...
