If you have a question about a problem with your car (i.e. my car won't start), please make sure you name the make / model / year of the car as accurately as you can.

Yellow card infractions will now be given instead of on thread warnings. These infractions can be imposed for a breach of charter or if the poster is deemed by a moderator to be deliberately obnoxious, unhelpful or trolling. Six or more Yellow infractions within a six month period will earn the poster a ban, the length of this will at the moderators discretion.

* No personal attacks on other members

* Racist remarks will not be tolerated on this forum. Any such remarks will result in either an infraction or ban.

* If you have an issue with moderation then PM the moderator in question. Do NOT argue the point on-thread, as this serves only to derail the thread and will result in a ban.

* No car registrations to be mentioned without photographic proof

* No "why do people not turn off their fog light" threads - they have been done before. Read THIS instead

* Repeated occurrances of “that’s crap” or “you muppet” and other abusive comments in posts will result in a warning and then a good hard banning. If a moderator feels that it is warranted then a ban may apply following just one such comment.
