how many marques have disappeared? 20 Dec 2009 (Forum)
I remeber hearing on the radio 'If you see an Armstrong Siddely...salute' is Siddely spelt correctly? Made me think how many makes have gone in my time. We are heading for a market dominated by the big boys but that is how the world seems to be going. Austin, Morris, Simca, Rover, all gone. Must -
iPod adapter for 3 Series BMW 12 Dec 2009 (Forum)
My daughter and s/i/l have just bought a 06 plate 3 series. Although it has a CD player, I'd like to buy them an iPod adapter for Xmas. Anyone know if there is a reasonably priced and reasonably easy one to fit (aftermarket or whatever)? I don't mean the radio frequency type, but one that plugs -
Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - 04 2.0 TS2 Bose CD player 17 Apr 2009 (Forum)
Has anybody managed to remove the head unit for this cd system? It has developed an intermittent loss of sound to one or both channels. Almost certainly a connector because radio is fine. It's OK first thing but fault develops after a couple of hours -
Skoda Superb (2008 - ) - Skoda makes headline news 9 Apr 2009 (Forum)
BBC Radio 4 included this in their headline news at mid-day today: http://tinyurl.com/crzhhe One wonders about the BBC's priorities and how well informed they are, as I suspect it was intended to tag along with the long-outdated "Skodas are rubbish" myth. Which car made in Britain could have -
Quick Whip Round 2 Dec 2008 (Forum)
A tenner should do it - just to buy the highways people in Manchester a cheap radio so when the BBC issues a weather warning of heavy snow overnight, they think about sending out gritters. The two motorways and several A-roads I was on at 6.00 till 7.00 this morning were simply lethal -
Renault Scenic (1999 - 2003) - 2000 1.6 CD player code 3 Jul 2008 (Forum)
I need to programme in my CD player code as I had to replace the battery and so the radio/player went off. I know the code but I don't know how to actually programme it in and each button I press just beeps rudely at me! So frustrating as I'm having to drive in silence! -

Hands-free bluetooth kit car thingys 11 Feb 2008 (Forum)
Afternoon all. Wonder if anyone can help. It may seem a silly question, but if you don't know, you don't know..... If I was to buy and have such a thing installed, eg a kit from parrot or motorola that picks up my mobile's bluetooth. Does the radio always have to be on for it to receive a message -
Yes M'Lady - Parker on your Sat-Nav 7 Dec 2007 (Forum)
Caught a few seconds of interview, on Local Radio today, the guy who was Thunderbirds character voices of Brains & Gordon & ....PARKER. Said he was possibly going to do Lady Penelope's right hand man, as a sat-nav voice option! Not sure if he was just 'touting' the idea, or it's going to happen -
Soon you can drive on hard shoulder 26 Oct 2007 (Forum)
Today's radio news says plans are on way to allow hard shoulder as a driving lane on some of the motorways (eg. M1, M6, M42 etc.). However, many wonder where do you stop then for emergency! By the way, we already use a good part of M1 hard shoulder between J6 & J10. Usually these areas -
Life on Mars series 2 7 Feb 2007 (Forum)
Starts next Tuesday. Feature in Radio Times including obligatory, correctly coloured Marina, but, deary deary me, page 13, some copy writer who doesn't know his (or her) arm from his elbow has described a Ford Corsair as a Vauxhall! Mind you, it's in an interesting (non standard?) 2 tone paint job -

Hi all, My GF is about to buy an X-plate Accord 2.0 SE sport. It has a radio cassette head unit, but no autochanger (although the head unit has controls for the changer). Obviously want to get hold of a cheap changer (ebay has several)- question is, are the connections universal -
Rover 214 stereo help needed 6 Mar 2006 (Forum)
The LCD on the centre of the dash of my Rover 214 1998 has failed to work for some time. Since then, I've had a battery failure meaning a new battery was to be fitted, but of course all the electrics were disconnected for a while. Although I have the radio code, apparently there is a start-up -
Rover 75 Rattling engine 9 Dec 2005 (Forum)
Hi its diesel with 215K on the clock and has recently developed a rattle between 1-2000 revs when accelerating in all gears, after 2000 it seems to disappear. Revving in neutral doesnt reproduce noise and its not rattling at tickover..just when under load. Fairly noticable with radio off as well
