  , that's fine too. I have sidelights, but no headlights, radio works fine, etc. My first instinct was the earth cable, a common problem on these vans, but its okay. Is there another earth cable worth finding and checking. Also, whereabouts is the starter located, I cannot find it from above, do I need

  Hi, just looking for a straight answer really. For several months my speedo has been playing up; it drops to zero and occasionally mileage shows just a bunch of dashes. The radio volume lowers and there is a slight loss of power, after a about 4 miles it kicks in again and all is well. I

• Volkswagen Golf VI (2009 - ) - An expensive successor..... 24 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  , sporty 'GT' However about £17.5k seems to be what I'll need to pay, which includes metallic paint, parking sensors and a steering wheel that will enable me to control my radio!! It may be, arguably, a much better car but my goodness you have certainly got to fork out the money and this is for a car
• Volkswagen Polo III (2000 - 2002) - Spare Car 3 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  I have a 2000 Polo. The electirc windows dont work, motor, central locking locks you in the car. Tempreature gauge has a mind of its own, reads what it like when it likes. Radio seems to like to be seen but not heard, when it wishes. Exhaust sounds blown but passes its MOT every year. Key

  I missed HJ's announcement of the relaxation of duty on this sort of fuel for personal use (http://tinyurl.com/2zutd2 ), but it came up on the radio yesterday, together with a discussion on DIY conversion kits for spent oil from chippies. What particularly amused me was the admission by HMRC

• Rover 25 (1999 - 2005) - 2005 - Electrical fault 16 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  sidelights are not working, nor the alarm (light at any rate), nor are the dashboard dial lights. The warning lights are OK, ditto the clock, radio and everything else. Before I book it into a garage, does anyone have any ideas? Could it be something as simple as a fuse? If relevant, the car's 3 years old
• Effects of electical items on your fuel economy 10 Jan 2008 (Forum)

  away. Not sure if they will stick on a transporter or drive it. And the reason for finding out I'd like the Mazda6 iPOD connector which is about £180 installed. Installation requires not just the removal of the radio but a lot of the centre dashboard, ashtray, gear lever gaiter etc. So I might

• Suspension specialist north London 11 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  - it's got a very stupid red screen which gives info about the radio/cassette and heating/fan which turns itself on all the time so we have to remove a fuse from under the steering wheel whenever we get out! I understand it may be a short in a metal box (stop me if I am getting too technical) behind

  One of the councils up here are running adverts on the radio saying the usual, how bad it is for the environment etc if you leave your car engine running whilst parked up, so you will now be fined if caught doing this. But how bad exactly is it? If you are sitting stationery at side of road
