    I have a Y reg. MK2 Mondeo Zetec-S. My speedo drops to zero after about 4 miles of driving, it then resumes normal operation after about another mile. The mileometer also stops, the car loses a little bit of power, and the volume of the radio suddenly drops. My fuel warning light

  • Consumption improved 15%... 22 Sep 2009 (Forum)
    for a brim-full tank read 410, now 370 or 10% less. The ?Average speed?, ?Tripmeter? and odometer readings were not affected. The analogue fuel gauge seems correct but now I can?t be sure. How can I rectify the faults? The radio settings were all shot, too, but easily re-entered. Nothing else seems

  • Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 97 1.4 oil dipstick & rear roof antenna 11 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    ? Second question - there is a socket at the rear of the roof with a narrower screw thread than the radio aerial socket at the front of the roof. What's the rear socket for ? Apologies if questions seem a bit dumb. (The car is the Phase II version of the 306). Much obliged.

  • M40 closure, Thursday 11 December 27 May 2009 (Forum)
    It was closed for five hours this morning after an accident at Junction 9. Were any Backroomers caught there? I was just joining at J13 at about 0730 when I heard the first warning on the radio (from BBC Coventry and Warwickshire, which doesn't often mention anything south of the M42, so that got

    Hi, I am sitting here with a knackered steering colunm switch which incorporates the lights, indicators fog lights on one side and the wipers on the other with the Radio controls being removable.

  • Dummies question re 4x4s in this snow 9 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    wrong? Or is it a case that the likes of the CRV, RAV4, Freelander, etc, simply do not have good enough drive systems for this weather? I remember as a kid back in the 1970s when we had weather like this the local radio station putting out requests from the emergency services for owners of 4x4s

    My factory fitted radio set on fire. I bought a second hand one, which works fine but there is no display on the centre column screen. This is proving to be a real headache as the Sat Nav wont show up and the Air Con is now on all the time and I can not turn it off, Nissan want a hefty sum to look

    Hi Just bought a Focus (C-max) and one of the very few disappointments is that if the window is open more than half an inch or if the radio is on more than half a decibel, I can't hear the click of the turn indicators from the dashboard. It's such a quiet click. Is there any way I can make
  • Pushbikes allowed wrong way on one way streets 6 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    I heard an item on radio 4 this morning proposing a trial of this. The guy in favour seemed to be all for it regardless of any arguments against. Tiff Needell put up some very good points against it. I'm a cyclist, and to think of cycling the wrong way against traffic on the roads around here

  • Driving Instructors 1 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    There was a radio advert the other day requesting drivers to become instructors. The only proviso was that you had held a full UK licence for a year. This is the reason why there are so many poor drivers around. They are taught to pass a test. Not to drive. We need experienced drivers to teach new
