Doing My IAM Test

Do Lorries Have Different Stopping Distance or are they just courteous
I'm back in the UK after a 13 country 8 month world tour, and have unfortunately have to do a lot of motorway miles with my job. While driving around the UK...

That does make sense to me, but the IAM seem to like you to tell them that you're checking the mirror everytime you change speed or direction. When something significant is happening in my rear view mirror I will mention it, but for some reason it has been pretty much empty on my drives. However, on the twisty roads I wouldn't expect many people to keep up with me anyway.

Well yes, I agree there. My observer was using the term "comfort braking".

There probably isn't much I can do about it anyway because it seems to have gone. However if a car is behaving weird it's nice to know why, I don't really want to wait for it to break down or the problem to become more expensive.

It's not really that mature at just 44k, and it's almost 6 years old. The engine pretty much sounds like new.

They'll probably charge me £60 for a diagnosis, and tell me that they can't find anything wrong.

lol. I've got a theory for this problem, but I will probably never know whether it's right. I reckon water got into something that it didn't like. Maybe as the wet engine warmed up the water vapour got to places that it didn't like. As far as I can tell the key light, and the fuel pump are completely different items.

Thanks!
