  • Ford C-MAX - Persistent engine warning light 31 Jan 2012 (Forum)
    on again three days later. The same fault was diagnosed and the throttle pedal was again replaced. Five days later the warning light came on again with the same problem. The Ford dealer checked everything and is stumped. Perhaps coincidentally, the clock (built into the car radio) has also started playing
  • speed cameras 20 Aug 2010 (Forum)
    Listened to you this morning on radio 4 news discussing cameras. The other guy was a typical pro camera anorak so whatever you said he had the usual claptrap answer. However I think you should have been more assertive about this business of cameras being blatantly sited at places where
  • best feature in any of your cars 17 Jul 2010 (Forum)
    , Radio 2 was never the same again!)? Or the solar powered aircon in the Audi S8 that keeps running after you switch your engine off? Or the electric boot close button on the inside of the Peugeot 607 (my friends got tired of that party trick, but I didn't!)? For me, it has to be the electric memory

    HI Guys Any advice would be great on this subject I'm a complete novice when it comes to cars so will try explain the issue as best I can.

  • Oh No! Essential Journeys only time again! 20 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    So at 3pm today I looked out my office in Glasgow and saw some sleet falling. By 5pm there was definitely some sitting on the cars. By time I left at 5.45 it had all stopped and the wipers removed what was on my windscreen with one wipe. And then I had to put the radio on.......... There have
  • Renault Modus (2004 - ) - 05 1.5 Removal of instrument cluster? 14 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    Hi, first time of posting, so hopefully ive followed the rules. Does anyone know how to remove the instrument cluster in the above vehicle? I was driving past an MOD establishment when I lost all instruments, car continued to run, but had no instrument panel and radio died, after about 30 seconds
  • Mitsubishi Shogun (1999 - 2007) - I've taken the plunge... 21 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    Yep - today I took the plunge and have made perhaps the riskiest decision of my car-buying life and bought a Shogun 3.2DiD Auto Classic. So why is it risky? Its a stolen-recovered with an immobiliser problem. The interior is tidy (although the radio has been removed without care
  • Automotive OCDs 11 May 2008 (Forum)
    , habits. For my own little obsessions....... I always try to park with the front wheels in the straight ahead position unless on a steep hill when I will point them to the kerb. ( Looks tidier ) Always turn the radio off prior to turning the engine off even though it would go off automatically ( just
  • Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - Trying to find a CD player!! 27 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    I'm still banging my head against a wall trying to find a way to play CD's in my car!!! Its a 1997 A4 1.8T Sport which has a radio/cassette head unit. Some nice person has at some time in the cars life removed the CD auto changer from the boot! What I'd like to do is get myself a compatible
  • '03 Passat electrics problem 28 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    , the car keeps going and the radio still operates. Any thoughts? Could it be connected to the water problem? I wondered if the voltage to the electrics was dropping too low (battery problem) but the engine seems to turn over and start ok. thanks for your help. Rob
  • Toyota "With you every step of the way" 24 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    Not in my experience! I bought a 2 yr old RAV4 from a Toyota Main dealer in the Midlands. Four problems were encountered within 2 weeks which were resolved by my local dealer in Manchester. The rear seat tumble mechanisms did not work (replaced FOC); interference on the radio (fixed FOC); various

  • Helpful Main Dealer - Shock 5 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    The Peugeot barely turned over on the starter and wouldn't start yesterday morning. The logical thing to do was to think about the battery and maybe charge it up. Before anything else I knew that one day I'd need the radio code if and when the battery was disconnected and unfortunately I didn't get
  • 2006 VW Passat Estate - dashboard noise 26 Nov 2006 (Forum)
    , but this is in addtion and is starting to get on my nerves! It's akin to bees buzzing (if that makes sense!) and, I'm assuming, is some bit of trim or other that's not quite tight and vibrates at these lower revs. Before I head off to the dealer and get told to a) just turn the radio up b) there's no noise c) we've

  • A small rant 4 May 2006 (Forum)
    I'm sorry to inflict this on you, but an ad currently running on Virgin Radio for a certain no-win-no-fee law firm is driving me up the wall! The example bloke in it claims he was working for a national firm of tyre fitters when the jack collapsed on the lorry he was working under crushed him
  • Part ex and car tax 30 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    with no driver's door lock or radio which I thought was a decent price. Question is - who does the tax belong to? I have a feeling that the dealer has included that in the value of the car and of course, ringing up and asking is sure to get the answer "price included the tax disc". Can he take it out or does he
