• Keys and mobiles in-car killers! 31 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  a low-speed collision. At 60 km/h a smartphone has an effective mass of 60 kgs IIRC. As my Focus is not over-burdened with storage spaces (a later version my colleague drives has a lidded armrest and a hinged flap to the lower console compartment) I have always carried my house keys in my pocket

I've done the rounds: Checked the storage pockets and bins for loose things, the doors for worn catches and rattles, the exhaust for tightness
• Claim from other driver his fault, I'm TPFT 28 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  scrapped before the tax runs out on 30 Nov. Can I scrap it before his insurers examine it, or can I just supply photos? As it happens I have off-road storage space, but SWMBO is unamused at rusting heaps littering the view.
• Espada's new car 16 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Well my father finally realised what he did about two years ago and demanded his Forester XT back. I've only done 14,000 miles in it and I'm very sorry to see it go. For me, its real selling points were (in no particular order) a huge amount of internal storage room, great ride for a sporty car

  " upgrade. I think that the Sony stereo installed in the Mondeo already has bluetooth built in and its just a case of activating it via a security code. I have this point of view as I sell fingerprint readers which have a storage capacity for 250 fingerprints. We offer some people a free upgrade to 2000
• Battery mystery 23 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Remember the 1966 Dodge Charger with the starting problem? I attacked it with a multimeter and found the battery was only delivering around 8.5 volts when operating the starter. It was nearly three years old, and the car had been in storage for a lot of that time, so I wasted no time replacing
• best hosepipe for car washing? (limited space) 4 Sep 2024 (Forum)
  concern is that I have very limited indoor storage space, so I'm looking for the most compact solution. My parents have a Karcher pressure washer that I could borrow occasionally, but I’m not sure if I have room to store it. But I might use that for the occasional clean. Ideally, I need something
• Please help recommend a family car 20 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  three car seats comfortably, and has ample storage space for carting buggies etc.  7 seats would be preferred for bringing grandparents but not a deal-breaker..  3 isofix points are a plus but can can often belt the middle one.  I would probably be doing something like 8000km

  At the end of January I will be going abroad for 12 months and am leaving the car in a storage container. It was suggested that I disconnect the battery when storing it, I just looked in the Haynes manual to see which terminal I should disconnect first and read that if I
• Volkswagen Golf - New tyre valves needed for winter tyre change? 19 May 2012 (Forum)
  I bought winter tyres for the first time last winter, from Kwikfit and used their "tyre hotel" storage service for my summer tyres. On arranging to swap back to the summer tyres via their website, I find it is impossible to avoid being charged for a new set of valves, at a price of £19

  the same car again, so I was ready to have one after a few calls. Browsing the pictures of the latest model, I've found a difference or two. They've replaced the gear stick surround with a black one, no problem. Then I found out they've removed the little storage area from around the seats; oh dear, it's

  manage it I might also want to drain and flush the raw seawater cooling system, so corrosion inhibitors might still be useful there. This use would be for storage only, not operation, so ultimately total loss, and fancy stuff is probably contraindicated.
• Big SUV-type cars - - not dead yet 1 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  More musings from Irvine CA......although lots of EVs around, the sound of snarling growling V8s will heard for some time yet on American roads.  But what is very noticeable is the variety of big family SUVs on the driveways here (the double garages seem to be used as storage space), mostly

  Hi I have some strange problems with my electrics.  I bought the car second hand from a main dealer about 4 months ago.  I noticed lots of packs of bulbs in the storage space and thought nothing of it, not sure if it's related. The problems are, (these things were fine
