• Sony Head Unit Problem 8 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  I have a Sony Radio/Cassette with 6 disc multichanger. Model number XR-CA400. For no apparent reason, the volume up button has started to give me problems. Sometimes it will just increase the volume to full volume all by itself, as if I was holding the button in. I can reduce the volume
• 2002 MB C Sports Coupe: F Susp noise 21 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  (not all) bumps. It isn't very loud (well below normal radio level) but is annoying once you spot it. It only occurs in hot weather. It went away when I returned to this country. With the warm weather it is back. As the car has only done about 18k and the warranty is about to expire any clues as to what
• Free car - but no keys / V5 ??? 27 May 2005 (Forum)
  5 years and is pretty rotten. Anyway, the downside is there are no keys (it is unlocked) and no V5. I will be given a letter from the current owner (a local radio station) to confirm they have the legal right to give it away, but are there any other problems anyone can think of? I was either
• Citroen AX (L) - No lights! 24 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, Today my little AX, which is in great general condition (30000 miles) is suffering. I notice this morning that my clock stopped, my front headlights do not work, and my radio memory is playing up, and my immobiliser is, well, immobilised. Now, after consulting the handbook, many of the faults
• Automatic traffic announcements. 4 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Given that many people (me included and DD excluded) don't appear to RTFM, I wonder how many drivers out there have modern RDS radios in their cars and don't realise they also have a Traffic Announcement facility. Driving home on Tuesday I found the service invaluable as we approached
• Good old-fashioned cassettes 28 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I've noticed that the BR has been getting a little 'heavy' lately so, in the intention of lightening the mood, I've started this thread. How many of us out there still have only a radio/tapeplayer in the car rather than a CD/minidisc/mp3/wax cylinder player? And if you do have a tape player, what
• Progress over 5/10 years 21 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Driving home from work tonight, I was just sitting doing 70mph on the motorway, minding my own business and looking at the cars around. This made me think. If uou look at a "basic" Astra or Focus etc just now, it will come with PAS, electric windows, air con, CD radio, airbags etc as standard

  Hi, I've just passed driving test at the third attempt( oh my god!) and thinking of buying my first car. The car I have in mind is new Nissan Micra S 1.2L 5dr automatic ( list price is £9395) The standard options are: PAS, ABS, front e/w, immobiliser, remote locking, radio/cd player. As I have

  and heads for the radio studio at Leicester Square. So far the results are: Monday: Car - 44 minutes Tuesday: Bicycle - 30 minutes Wednesday: Scooter: 31 minutes. When asked today why it took longer on the scooter than the bike, the reporter replied "Well you have to stop for red traffic lights
• Yaris remote locking 23 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  angles. I checked the battery which was a bit low (3V) but have tried two different new batteries (GP and Rayovac) with no real improvement. Any ideas? Does the car have a separate aerial for the remote, or does it use the radio aerial? Might it just be the cold weather? Does it need a 'special' battery
• How to love a banger? 31 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  As car owners go, my eldest is what you might call benevolently indifferent but not seriously neglectful. What advice do I give to make his recent purchase a lasting goer. For this purpose, assume he is of the 'if it makes a funny noise, turn the radio up' school of motor ownership. He has
• My perfect car 23 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  for, and there are a few around the £7K mark (although they all seem to be in Scotland). Well outside my normal price bracket, but I started listening to Radio 4 at the weekend, so perhaps I'm getting too old for bangers. Anyone know anything about these? Any notable weak spots? HJ's Car by Car Breakdown doesn't

• Astra 2016 Dashboard Lights Issues 22 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  Hi everyone,  I am hoping someone can advice me.  This morning I turned the ignition on to find that all the lights on the dashboard had seemed to turn off but after a few seconds they came back on. This was everything from radio, speedometer etc. As it seemed to correct
• Ford Focus - Ford Focus squeak - video/sound 24 Oct 2020 (Forum)
  Ford Focus mk3, strange squeaking noise when driving over 30mph. Whether cruising, accelerating or braking. See video here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/chkk9z02bmgq7e9/IMG-9551.MOV?dl=0 Very annoying on motorway or dual carriageways without radio on. At first thought
• New Speeding Fines 4 May 2018 (Forum)
  I was listening to a talk radio station. An interesting caller phoned in for legal advice. He was caught speeding, going 9mph over the speed limit. He ticked the box and pleaded guilty, and paid his £100 fine. However, he received a form from the Courts
• Mazda 2 - Mazda 2 Parrot System 26 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Hi there guys, just a quick one! I have recently purchased a Mazda 2 Takuya 2010, I have noticed that it has a Bluetooth system, I have researched that it is a Parrot System that came as standard, however mine is missing the Parrot device itself, I have the microphone, the radio controls
• Kia Picanto 15 plate - USB Port - is an accessory kit available 2 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  as the car has not got one! Anyway they are going to 'look into it' and call me in a few days. Not confident of the outcome.... I am going to change the radio/CD for an identical one from Feabay so she's got Bluetooth which is very straightforward, but its the USB port kit that I need help
• Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - 2002 - dashboard cut out when cold 26 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  Hi, My Vectra has had a problem over the last month. Hope somebody can help. When cold, my dashboard cuts out about 1-3 times. When I say "cut out", the lighting stays on but the dials, radio, indicators etc. all cut out. The indicators don't work and I don't think the brake lights work either

  checked the battery last time and thought it was fine. This time he tried to start the car with a jump lead but won’t start. It started again with a jump start but won’t start again using the key again. The electrics, light, Radio, CD player, etc. work. The battery
