• Dodgy radio sound-Factory fit Passat R/C 7 May 2007 (Forum)
  it on all radio music, not just on one station. In the book it says something about a setting for recognising speech and music and altering something automatically, but I couldn't understand what it was supposed to do or how to turn it off. Did I read it right? Is it the problem or is the radio knacked
• Signum - good choice ? 11 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I am a great believer in buying a good spec "old model" prob c. 2+ years old when most (no - not all) of the initial depreciation has been taken taken by the previous owner(s). I have been considering a Signum automatic with Elite spec. and would appreciate any comments and experiences
• Replacement for Forester 1 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Just continuing my thoughts on replacing my Forester, I have been thinking about smallish vehicles with high perceived quality. I don't need nor want a large vehicle, even though I can afford to buy/run one. My needs are at least four doors and automatic. As my Forester has heater leathed
• Replacement for Volvo 760 estate 22 May 2006 (Forum)
  . Must be a large estate for carrying her music equipment around, trips to garden centres and ferrying 'all those old people around'. 2. Automatic tramsmission. 3. Climate control and sunroof 4. No diesels. 5. Nothing French or Italian. 6. She only does 6K a year. 7. She's a bit of a badge snob
• ignition system current starvation 14 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  it is automatic. It has electronic ignition ie. no contact breakers and I have checked everything else, like the coil, plug, HT lead, earths, etc etc but NOT the battery. The bike cranks well and all the lights are also ok. However, the pathetic spark will not ignite the fuel air mixture and it floods. The carb
• gap between brake and gas pedal 25 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  , the edge of my shoe sometimes is almost touching the left edge of the gas pedal. I must have driven 100 different automatics from small cars to luxury cars, and it's never been a problem. Ok, I have big shoes (size 12), now I have to be conscious when driving of pivoting my foot slightly over to the left
• 9-5 or Legacy wagon? 17 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  . Obvious choice is a nearly-new 9-5 estate. But something keeps saying 'Subaru'. Haven't seen a word said against the new Legacy wagon, although there aren't many about nearly-new, esp automatics, and those that I've seen are more dosh than the Saab. Anyone got experience of either? I'm not bothered
• Drum Brakes - Ford Ka 5 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  figured out that a spring on the automatic adjusters had stretched and was stopping the adjuster working correctly. I manually adjusted the shoes and the brake passed (hand and foot) with flying colours. The original problem was the shoes - I just created a new one by not recognising the inpact
• What Car ? 17 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  I have got £1800 to spend and an "L" plate 1.3 escort to part-ex. Can anyone suggest what cars i can consider, i have only ever owned Fords, but i've finally had enough of them. I have got to have an automatic because of medical reasons. Am i right in staying away from the Rover 620? or any Rover
• Value Please 10 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  thoughts as to roughly how much the value will be. The car itself is a 1996 Mark 4 Fiesta Ghia 5dr 1.25 Zetec-S. It has around 84,000 miles on it and all the usuals you'd expect from a Ghia such as electric windows, temperature display, rev counter, c/l sunroof etc etc.. The car was an automatic
• Smart Street Lamps 16 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  it turns into a multiple vehicle pile-up. Other vehicles rushing towards the scene can be automatically notified, and a new speed limit imposed within a fraction of a second of the accident happening" Seems like a reasonable idea to me.
• 406, driving like clutch in half on ??? 6 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  ok... and once the initial revs and slackness pass the car can still achieve acceleration. I also liken it to driving a big automatic ( 5 litre Mustang) in the States, when you put your foot down you get an initial high roar of revs before the engine kick in. Any thoughts ? Pip

• Astra 1.7 Dti 05/00 management light at 22 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  bulbs, and all is well. now i know that the brake lights are on the same fault check circuit that the glowplugs are, i will of course check the bulbs first if this happens again. I assume that if i had changed the bulbs first, the fault code would reset and clear automatically.
• Telephone nonsense 18 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  it and got through to the wrong department. "Shall I transfer you...?" NOT ON YOUR LIFE MISSUS". To my mind big companies just don't want to talk to their customers anymore. The bigger the company the more blocks are placed in the way of callers This automatic telephone answering and re-directing has gone
• Any (old) drum brake equipped - Coke Can for Brake Drums 6 May 2017 (Forum)
  and on the thread of the automatic adjuster, in the hope of finally seeing an automatic adjuster actually work.    Didn't, and therefore probably not worth the tiny risk of getting PTFE on the brake shoes.   Exhibit E. Rusty drum. I applied sunflower oil and "metallised

• Renault Espace (2002 - ) - 05 2.2 DCi Auto poor fuel economy 9 May 2012 (Forum)
  manual. I have tried using both methods. I am not new to automatics and have never had ANY car give such poor fuel consumption in 20 years of car ownership, let alone a diesel. I bought it used about 2 months ago with 26k on the clock, and have added about 3.5k since. No matter how I drive
• Aftermarket Xenons Illegal... 27 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  with HID light sources may be fitted. Unlike with passenger vehicles, there are no European Regulations on the installation of approved HID headlamps to motorcycles. This is partly because no agreement has been reached on how to implement automatic headlamp levelling and washers on motorcycles. Potentially
