£2 toll

There is a new bridge across the Mersey which opens to-night. The toll is £2 which you pay by phone 1hr to 23hrs after you cross it. If you don't pay in that time you also get a fine. The old bridge will close also so you can not dodge it

Re: Yellow Warning Light stays on

IT well go off by it's self but if it flashed there IS some thing wrong. Any garage will have a obd reader or you could get one off e bay [£30] This device plugs into a socket by your knee [ when you are in the car ] and tells you what is wrong.

Re: New Proxes ! now wearing a nappy when driving

IT is a wheel bearing which is to blame and if it is that bad the hub will need replacing also I know I had the same thing happen to me thought i was in a cross wind :)
I would change the other 3 wheel bearing as they cost £13 BUT a hub costs £50 so changing the bearing saves money
