  • Honda CR-V III - Parking sensors 20 Aug 2018 (Forum)
    After three 100% problem-free years, the rear parking sensors have now started playing up. The buzzer now stays on for no reason when reversing. I've checked the sensors for mud etc. , but all seems OK. The centre alarm is the only one to show on the screen. I know I can turn the whole thing off

  • Hyundai i30 - Hire car 20 Jan 2024 (Forum)
    but in the i30 it feels wrong to me. I think it is the thrummy note which makes it sound a bit frail ( I am sure it isn't actually) in comparison to a 4-cylinder. It is probably the base model so only has 4 e-windows, a reverse camera and little other frippery. This is good. The handbrake
  • 2016 Volvo V40 1.6 D drive 19 Jul 2020 (Forum)

  • Aygo review 23 Mar 2022 (Forum)
    are. This one had everything I could possibly need, air con, climate, dab radio, Bluetooth, Android pairing , reversing camera etc etc. The 3 cylinder engine pulled nicely, with a very agreeable sporty sound, nice slick gearbox, well damped ride, decent handling, safe rather than ultimately sporty. But a lot

  • Aping their betters 17 Jan 2010 (Forum)
    of their cities with incomprehensible paint and irritating signs and arrows. In the case of Bath, these frightful men and women, worthy successors to the syphilitic, nose-dripping, smelly-trousered aldermen of a couple of centuries ago, and the vacant uprooted peasants who man their Mickey Mouse camera systems
