  • SEAT Exeo ST - SEAT Exeo ST aerial problem 23 Sep 2015 (Forum)
    Staying getting intermittent and worsening radio reception on my 2011 ST. This is virtually the same car as Audi A4 avant so tracked problem down to a very problematic aerial booster used by Audi, loads about this on Audi forums. SEAT confirm the same part number is available to order for my car

  • Media controls on steering wheel 11 Aug 2014 (Forum)
    coming across anything that looks that elegant. Ideally I'd prefer not to splash out on a whole new media system. I'm happy to use my mobile / ipod for music, and would prefer the buttons also contolled the radio or inbuilt CD, if this is possible. Thanks for any suggestions!
  • Audi A4 B6 TDi 2002 - Battery Charging in-situ/Replacement 10 Feb 2014 (Forum)
    possible problems may arise (radio code aside). As soon as I get the thing going first stop a new battery, any recommendations? Any advice gratefully recieved.
  • Chevrolet Cruze - After 2 months 6 Feb 2014 (Forum)
    excellent! Poor points, seats VERY firm, poor visibility for clock and radio display. No boot light, relies on reflection from number plate lights which come on when boot is opened. Truly appalling dipped beam lights, but main beam is fine
  • All makes - Maximum fuel efficiency speed 15 Nov 2012 (Forum)
    Radio 2's homwork query today at 6.45pm was 'at what speed would a car cover a set distance using the least fuel?' The answer was rather flimsy, but apparently 52-56 mph [ignoring all the car variables etc]. Most time was spent waffling on about making sure the boot was empty and so forth
  • Fabia Greenline Estate V Ceed Ecodynamic ?? 4 Nov 2011 (Forum)
    on the radio and hear it - not the wind, engine, road surface etc. Which of my chosen 2 is the better at this? One factor: Fabia delivery time=6 mnths; Ceed=2 mnths!! Cheers, Dave

  • Ford Fiesta Saloon LX reg july 2000 (W Reg) - Leafs ( or debris) in Ford Fiesta Fan/Blower 13 Nov 2010 (Forum)
    My wife has a lovely litle Fiesta ( with aircon) it has a annoying problem. When the blower fan is switched on there is the sound of what sounds like broken or dried leaves moving about behind the dashboard behind the radio. I have tried blowing them out with the fan on full
  • Audi A3 + S3 (2001 - 2003) - 03 1.8T Audi stereo power supply 9 Sep 2009 (Forum)
    Hi, I've been told in the past that the way that the Audi stereos are powered is that they receive a constant feed from the battery and when the ignition is turned off would continue to supply power to the radio. If there is no demand for power then the stereo cuts off its demand for power itself
  • New minimalist car 16 Aug 2009 (Forum)
    Whilst coming to terms with all the gadgets and creature comforts which make driving easier I am thinking what you actually need on a car, what can you do without? Do you need a rev counter or air con, heated seats and radios, turbos, multi changers cruise control etc etc. any market for a car

  • Honda Jazz/Fit (2001 - 2008) - First MOT 21 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    A curious thing. My Jazz went in for it's first MOT on Tuesday, prior to the end of lease in March. On the way home I noticed that the small display panel in the centre of the dash had been wiped clean. The display is for radio/time/cd information normally. My housekeeping is not all it could be, I
  • Help. Am I getting old? 18 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    Evening, Taking my boys to school this morning, it came on the radio that around 20% of all children think their parents drive to fast. So, I ask the question. "Do I drive to fast"? The answer was no from both of them so Im sitting there feeling quite good about it. So, the second question
  • Look & Learn (a pictorial journey into the future) 3 Jan 2008 (Forum)
    -trains, individual passenger vehicles and VTOL aircraft. From here too, incoming motorists are directed by radio to areas where parking is available ." Now for the funny bit "A control system regulates all incoming traffic reducing congestion to a minimum" The heady optimism of the late 60s eh ?
  • Nissan Navara d22 Frontier (2002 - 2005) - CD stuck in Clarion CD Player 22 Sep 2007 (Forum)
    . The question is - is this an affordable repair - should I get the dealer to do it or a car hifi specialist. Would it be cheaper / better to just replace the radio / CD player. Any views much appreciated
  • Green driving? 17 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    I've been hearing these adds on the local radio about how to reduce emissions etc. One thing they said is that we should change up gears earlier. Is this true? I know this can be true, but if you're using the gears correctly I thought higher revs isn't necessarily worse. What is best/worse? Low
  • Failing battery in Focus remote? 3 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    We've noticed, over the past few days, that the range of the remote (radio) locking key to SWMBO'S Focus seems to be getting much reduced. As the car is coming up to 5 years old, we suspect that the battery in the key is dying. Instructions in the manual seem very straightforward for changing
  • Mondeo Central Locking 28 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    A bit of a strange one this, but when using the central locking feature of a 1997 MK2 Mondeo it locks and then unlocks again within one second of locking. This happens if using the remote which is the radio wave type rather than infa red or the key it does not seem to make any change
