cabman Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I 'm looking at a vehicle dealers website where part of the vehicle description includes under commentaires: "direction mecanique".I understand comments but "direction mecanique" produces an identical translation from babelfish. Is this motor trade jargon? If so, is it good or bad news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 'Direction' relates to the steering. I would guess it means that the vehicle does not have power steering - but the mechanics amongst us might know better! Can you tell us the make / model involved?regardsM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdebretagne Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 It means it does not have power steering (which is direction assistée). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
