    Sister just bought a Vauxhall Corsa P registered. When she switch the radio/cassette player on nothing happens. The unit switches on.

    Sorry if this has been covered today... I've just heard on 5Live that both FM and AM radio are to be switched off by 2012 and everyone will need some kind of DAB receiver to listen to the radio. Now I don't know how many new cars are being produced with DAB in them or as an option but I suspect

    We just bought a 1998 Avensis 2.0 CDX at auction, and of course there's no owner's manual. I can figure out most things but the Sony radio/CD/cassette player seems hellishly complicated! Is there anywhere I might buy secondhand/download a manual? I assume my local Toyota dealer will want silly
