[QUOTE="Phil"] What happens when somebody whacks your parked in-gear diesel?[/QUOTE] Then lots of things break ! If you have to take special steps incase of people whacking your car, then I think you should be parking somewhere else :) [QUOTE] The advice to leave a car in gear (and turn the wheels) when parking on a hill is in the Highway Code now; it wasn't when I passed my test mmmmm years ago. Perhaps I should read it again! [URL]http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/22.htm#226[/URL][/QUOTE] Ah, interesting.
