  There are at least two radio ads at the moment that have completely put me off any thoughts of buying the featured cars due to the wording in the ad. One is for the Jaguar XE and the other for the Audi A4. The ads make a big thing about the low monthly payments and then the very last words

  I fitted the C3 with a new battery this morning. Very pleased with the simple plastic catch that locates the battery. Hoping to save the radio stations and the date and time, I plugged in my home-made power supply which is a Nokia phone charger giving 11.7 volts and a fused cigarette lighter plug
