• Replacing the generic Vaux Astra stereo 23 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Hello I've seen the Tevion car radio on sale at Aldi this week & I thought I needed an upgrade. I would like some help from people that might know about doing this.

  , radio, various controls) and unscrewing the control panel I tried to get it out through the slot in the facia, but couldn't manage it.

• Scenic driving me - or not - nuts 24 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  first time. The battery seems to be strong, as lights, radio and central locking all work perfectly however the starter motor doesn't turn over at all.

  of residue on the road or skid marks at the scene. When I put it to her that she had simply been concentrating on the radio rather than the road she burst into tears and denied it (typical female reaction), even her father admitted this was probably what had happened!

  tailgate so closely that I can't even see their number plates! In future, there should be some way of communication across autonomous cars so that one can tell about obstacles ahead via some preset radio frequency.  We may even get autonomous driving lanes and human driving lanes. More

  or may not be an option. But recommendation for a budget one (that is reliable enough to be left for 3 months unattended) gratefully received. I'll recommend she takes it for a good run before parking up and switches the radio and anything else off before turns off the engine. I could suggest she
