• Astra dash bulb replacement 11 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  The wife has an October 2003 Astra Convertible which has been faultless. Until now, now it's just out of warranty!!! One of the backlight bulbs behind the radio display unit at the top of the dash has gone so that one half of the display is very dim. How easy is it then to get to this to change

  Hi, Just swapped the radio/cassette out of my Daughters '02 Corsa for a CDR 2005 CD player. All works fine but i would like to change the steering wheel for the same type with audio controls fitted. Is it a straight change or is a harness needed as well? I suspect its already wired but I would
• Big-dog, this is rubber ducky, over 8 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Later this month I'm going to be going on a weeks holiday to Devon with some friends. Thee's enough of us that we'll be in 2 cars, so I thought it would be amusing if we could pick up some sort of 2-way radio to allow us to communicate between the vehicles. Anyone know of anything available which

  Our local Constabulary announced that they will be stepping up the roadside checking of all vehicles for the next 2 months. This includes checking for defect lights and if they are defect the result is £60 fine and 3 penalty points! This is how my wife heard it on the radio. Surely as a vehicle

  Defender went in for its MoT today to the local LR Centre (I, know, I know). Anyway they gave me a 2000 mile old 03 Fr**lander, first time I'd ever driven one. What an awful thing. Dismal instruments, poor radio, interior like an 80s Montego, to add insulst to injury its brake lights were stuck
• Asleep at the wheel 28 May 2003 (Forum)
  M25 on Sat I was driving in the inside lane at about 65mph - only about an hour's drive. I felt a bit sleepy so I turned up the aircon and the radio. Next thing I knew I was on the hard shoulder having been woken-up by the rumble strips. I quickly managed to get back on line with no mishaps. I

• Ford Fusion - Speedometer dropping out 4 Oct 2022 (Forum)
  The speedo on my 2003 1.6 petrol Fusion (truly a great car) drops out occasionally. This has been going on for several years now. Sometimes it comes back after a few miles, sometimes after a few days. No apparent pattern or cause. Interestingly though, whenever it drops out, the radio volume
