  • Cleaning a dashboard with paint brush. 27 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    and crannies, you know all those recesses around buttons, around the radio, in the centre console, difficult to reach places and in particular air vents. All that nasty dust and grime that builds up over time. Now I tried this out this morning and it's sooo effective! Much better than a damp cloth or those
  • Better things to do? 21 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    (a total of 8 Officers). OK they may be on a break but why all in the same place, near but not in the depot, and where they cannot get a cup of tea. . . . . Oddly enough at this time the M6 southbound a few hundred yards away was stationary and there were problems (according to the radio) on the M6
  • Ford Focus Instruments acting oddly 18 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    recently & the car drives fine, with no misfiring, flat spots or stalling, & all other electrical components (radio, windows etc) are operating as normal. I dont know if anyone has had the same thing happen to them? Any thought or advice is gratefully received.
  • blast from the past 12 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    My car was in being serviced today and I got a courtesy vehicle. It was a Mazda Courier crew cab pickup. Looked as if it was about 10 years old but I was quite pleasantly surprised by it. It had auto, air, and a basic but reasonable radio. It was rough and noisy but you expect that from
  • Cd fitting 2002 corsa 1 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    Hi, We have just purchased a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 2002 '52' plate 5 door. The car has the original radio cassette fitted and I want to change it for the higher spec CD. Does this just pull out (via the correct removal tools) and the CD fit sraight in? Also, I have the opportunity to have one from
  • Collect your car, Madam ? 5 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    with a radio was stood by. The car was in gear, handbrake on, steering locked, so it was a case of bounce forward and skid sideways. SWMBOI asked me whether I thought that the owner was a lady standing nearby and looking concerned. She looked it. She had probably been doing it for years and regarded rules
  • x-trail sat nav retro fit?????? 10 May 2006 (Forum)
    Hi Own a 53reg X-Trail dci sport,facelift model. I have been offered one of the Nissan sat nav units which was originally from a pre-facelift model. It looks as if it is the right size to fit into the space below the radio currently occupied by a cubby hole with a hinged fascia. Does anyone know
  • Sat-Nav Owners.....Beware! 7 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    as a surprise. Demand for stolen car radios must surely be very low these days but the advent of Sat-Nav must present a profitable new opportunity for the ‘low-life’! So, if your Sat-Nav is one of the after-market variety…..you have been warned!
  • M40 Junctions 9-10 4 Sep 2005 (Forum)
    If you listen to traffic reports on the radio, there seems to be a disproprtionate number of incidents in the area of J9-10 of the M40. I travel up and down this stretch regularly and I'm forming a theory about it. Long queues on the on and off slips at J10 are the norm most of the day. I think
  • Bugs on front of car 12 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    My local radio station has a phone in every morning on things to "help the listeners". The other day there, it was how to shift dead bugs off the windscreen, front of car etc. Usual ideas inc vinegar and newspaper on windows, off the shelf bug killers etc. However, one person said that when going

  • fiesta zetec rattling noise 21 May 2003 (Forum)
    to think it is coming from somewhere in the central console area i.e. where radio, heater controls are but would be grateful for any insight. Car is obviously under warranty (bought from local Nissan dealership with their full approved warranty). Any ideas???!!
  • Golf IV Not Starting First Time Bleeping 29 Apr 2003 (Forum)
    Can anyone help please: Golf IV 1.6 (8V) 1998 When trying to start from cold, engine turns very slowly and fails to start first time (or second, or third time) as if battery is rundown. Bleeping noise eminating from the rear of the car. Radio code and resetting of clock then required. Eventually
  • Imported Golf V5 6 Mar 2002 (Forum)
    / radio unit or alarm (but does have the immobiliser). They will upgrade the warranty to three years from the basic manufacturer warranty for 500 quid. The savings are impressive compared to shopping around and haggling at the local VW garages. I keep cars until they fall to bits so an not worried about
  • old jag heater fans 31 May 2001 (Forum)
    is on LOW or MED. (HIGH still works normally.) It does the same even on "auto" ie: it starts very fast and gradually slows till the right temp is reached but never goes below the MED speed. This is annoying and totally spoils listening to the radio etc. Does anyone know how to fix this without spending
  • Mobile phones 31 May 2001 (Forum)
    ,eating,using a mobile phone without hands free,adjusting the radio or cd and all the the other reasons but hands free has a clean bill of health.This women will probably go on to convince some government goon that the use of phones in cars is against the law.And then we have another law to contend
  • Volvo XC90 (2002 - ) - I'm getting used to it! 9 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    partly marred by thick pillars, and easy to use controls on the steering wheel. The radio volume and cruise control switches control these devices in a more defined way than the Outback. The kids love it; the high position, quietness of the interior and quality radio. My daughter loves her integral
  • Chrysler PT Cruiser (2000 - ) - Tried one in the USA. 19 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    thoughtful feature was a 150+ channel satellite radio - Blue Collar Radio - superb American humour. Even had BBC R1 and the World Service so I could keep track of UK news and more importantly the cricket. Other US impressions - roads are quieter than the UK in general - poor state of repair and the cambers
