  • Astra Stereo wiring probs 28 Aug 2002 (Forum)
    leads fit in the back of the stereo fine and I get power and can hear the speakers work but cant get the Astra dashboard display to show the radio display.

  • C3 Picasso - Battery Change 22 Dec 2022 (Forum)
    The battery is just about managing in this cold weather and is ready for a change. Does anyone know if there anything that's likely to be affected when I do the swap - key codes, radio, etc? I've not had a problem swapping a battery in years but it's always worth an ask!

  • Hyundai ix35 - ix35 ugly dash trim 28 Jan 2012 (Forum)
    I would like to buy an ix35 but I hate the shiny silver trim on the dash and steering wheel. It looks like it belongs on a 1970s Hong Kong radio. Is there a kit to replace the trim with something more subtle or can it be wrapped or painted?

  • What is the point of Formula One? 19 May 2009 (Forum)
    I have just listened to a programme on BBC Radio 4 presented by Quentin Letts (who he?). It was asking in a tongue-in-cheek style 'What is F1 for', quite interesting and amusing and it is repeated tonight, Tuesday, at 9.30pm - I think. Remind me someone - what is Formula One for?
  • VED - Failure to display 1 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    Has the offence now ceased to exist? The latest radio advert for the DVLA on line service has words to the effect of " if you apply on line you can continue to drive with no risk pending arrival of disc". Has this legitimised the old practice "Tax in the post" assuming that have actually

  • Highways Agency Presence 1 Aug 2005 (Forum)
    Item on the radio this morning that Highways Agency presence is to spread from midlands to M25 and that they are improving driving behaviour. Ironic as I passed a Highways Agency Shogun on the M6 yesterday morning near Walsall, 65mph in the middle lane, inside lane empty - the boys were setting
  • The Future of the Car 6 May 2005 (Forum)
    Stuck at home with a bad back today but gave me the chance to listen to You and Yours on Radio 4. Fascinating and well informed discussion on the future of the car featuring James May, a rep from the SMMT and others. To listen again go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/ and click
  • Falling over lorries 3 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    I keep hearing traffic reports on the radio which refer to a jam being caused by an 'overturned lorry'. There's at least one a day. Why do they overturn with such alacrity? Are they loaded badly so that they are top heavy or do the drivers corner at lunatic speeds? I think we should be told.
  • Car Stereo Codes 25 Jun 2001 (Forum)
    I have recently bought a 2nd hand Citron AX as a run around. Saddly the radio does not work because it is coded and the previous careful lady owner did not know the code! Can any one recommend a DIY fix for this problem or is it of to the citron dealer or local auto electric?

    1998 Peugeot 306 Diesel Turbo. Until yesterday was running perfectly, put the rear heated screen on after starting yesterday morning and the radio went off. Little strange, but radio came back on after a second, so wasn't to concerned. Drove it about 40 miles, just switched to radio off to make
  • Golf II aerial cable 21 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    Hi folks, I've just bought a 1990 Golf II which needs a couple of things doing to it, but overall a nice car. First problem which is turning out harder than expected is the radio aerial. The previous owner replaced a broken aerial but didn't pull a piece of string through on the end of the cable
