    Hi Does anyone know how to turn off the annoying auto-locking on the otherwise excellent Jaguar S-type? In the manual it says it can only be done at a Jag dealer which is silly when most other cars tell you how to do it in the manual. Please can someone shed some light? Thanks ic
  • o/s/r/ toe in setting for Volvo 340 16 Dec 2001 (Forum)
    IS there any way to correct the toe in setting for the o/s/r tyre, it looks as though it is pointing in too far, confirmed by a 4-wheel alignment system. It makes the car pull to the left slightly, as well as wearing out the rear right tyre more quickly than the others Cheers, Andy

  • Air con - Mini Cooper S 12 Feb 2003 (Forum)
    A mate of mine is considering buying a Cooper S which does not have aircon as standard equipment. I have pointed out that aircon is virtually essential these days. He is reluctant to spend extra as his current car has aircon and he rarely, if ever, uses it. As aircon is a not inconsiderable £600
