  • Farewell to Cassettes 12 May 2007 (Forum)
    So its the end of the road for the cassette. Do we all remember compiling our favorite driving tape? Can anyone explain why some car companies still insist on placing radio cassette players in their base models. It must be costing them more to buy these than the standard cd player. Am I being

  • Emissions 11 Jan 2007 (Forum)
    Did anyone listen to radio 2 at lunchtime today. They were having a discussion about emissions comparing car and aircraft emissions (I think this was on the back of Tony Blair saying that he would continue flying to his holiday destinations). Apparently a return flight to New York is equivalent

    with speed or road surface. It's just there in the background all the time and turning up the radio doesn't help. Admittedly it hasn't got any worse in 6000 miles but, with the warrantee about to expire, can anyone assure me that this is normal for this model. Thanks Howy686
  • Jaguar xj40 19 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    foglights, radio & interior lights don't work. No faults appear on the dash when the VCM button is pressed & it is starting to hack me off. It done it once at the weekend for about 10 mins, again no indicators etc during this, but when it stopped of it's own accord I had indicators etc again. Can anyone
  • 97 Clio - Immobiliser problem? 17 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    the immobiliser light was flashing and the engine wouldn't turn over....it was just completely dead...total silence. The radio wouldn't come on and the lights on the dashboard kept fading. The central locking wouldn't work with either of my 2 remotes so I had to lock the doors manually. Any ideas??? Could
  • 2003 Peugeot 206 1.4 - wind 'squeaking' 14 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    Hi All, This is my first post on this site and I was wondering if anyone could help. I have a rather annoying problem with a 'squeaking' sound that seems to come from the passenger side of the vehicle when driving between 50-75mph. The 'squeeking' can be best likened to the sort of noise radio
  • Wife sells DJ's car on ebay 23 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    I haven't seen mention of this in this forum yet but it was reported in The Independent a couple of days ago. The wife of DJ Tim Shaw, Hayley, got so irritated by his flirting with model Jodie Marsh, during a radio interview, that she decided to exact revenge by selling his Lotus Esprit on ebay
  • Omega Sat-Nav 13 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    on and off, the battery has gone flat a few times when left for a few days. I've ordered a new switch for it. But just wondered if it could be anything else? It's a Philips Car-In system. Screen next to radio (built in), and CD-Player located on-top of the transmission tunnel in the rear. The switch
  • Octavia with 4 aerials 10 Mar 2004 (Forum)
    Curiosity has got the better of me. Was overtaken on M8 today by an Octavia Estate which had 4, or maybe even 6, small stubby aerials on its roof in a rectangle shape. It also had a phone aerial on front windscreen and the radio aerial at rear of car. Any ideas what these would have been
  • Blaupunkt Verona poor MW/LW reception 13 Oct 2003 (Forum)
    Hi Gang - Mrs V's Skoda Felicia has a Blaupunkt Verona radio cassette which has been working fine until today. The MW & LW reception has suddenly become very poor. With the engine running there is too much electrical (?) interference to hear anything. With the engine switched off, stations which
  • Music storage device 31 Jul 2003 (Forum)
    I recently saw reviewed in one of the broadsheet papers a device which enabled you to store 300 Cd's onto a hard disk which could then be linked to your existing car radio/CD player. In effect, it acted as a CD changer but held hundreds of CD's rather than a handful. You record the CDs via a USB
  • installing window glass 7 Oct 2002 (Forum)
    My Sister's G Reg Golf was broken into last night and her radio stolen. They got in through the passenger rear window (not a 'wind-up' window, just a plane glass window). They have "kindly" left the undamaged glass pane but the rubber window seal is damaged. My question is whether special
  • Rover 600 Central Locking Probs 23 Feb 2002 (Forum)
    doesn't want to know. Its not a major problem, more one of those irritating things, having to reach in and unlock it from the inside. If anyone has any ideas, I would be most grateful. Thanks very much. PS, HJ has come across the bizz on the radio
  • Corsa external temperature 4 Feb 2002 (Forum)
    My '93 Corsa is no longer showing the external temperature on the radio display, it shows --.- ! I found the sensor at the front behind the number plate. It seems to have a dc resistance of about 30 ohms, but it was 70ohms at one point. It does not seem to chnage over even when I put

    to use jump leads 4 times to start the car.   Occasion 1 - sat in a car park for 20 mins having lunch with the radio on. Usually the media unit would sound an audible warning about the battery (and flash a graphic). On this occasion, no warnings and yet the car wouldn't start

    the internal fusebox as all the fuses seem to be fine? If not, would i need a new display unit or could it be a wiring fault as it has had a new radio fit by the previous owner (was wondering if it was in any way linked to the wiring of the factory fit radio?) Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me out
