  • Ford Focus - Focus battery warning light 5 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    of times I have seen the light come on as I'm braking at lights. The revs drop but it doesn't cut out entirely. Also, my radio and odometer backlights flicker and dim when the headlights are on. This seems to get worse the longer I have been driving. Given that I've had the alternator

  • Mobile phones, a question. 10 Oct 2009 (Forum)
    My new car has a built in Bluetooth connection from my phone to the radio. Quite brilliant to be able to speak and hear as if the other party was in the car. Up until now I've used the Lt Uhura earpiece thingy with my phone mounted on a cradle. However, the only time I need to touch my phone now

  • Vauxhall Corsa C (2000 - 2006) - 02 1.0 Oil and performance problems - HELP! 14 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    My wife has an 02 Corsa, 1.0 12v. I know the timing chain is a bit rattly and it's on the things to do list. My really urgent problem is that the car ran fine until I left the radio on while working on it for the MOT and the battery ran flat. I charged it the next day. It is now running like a bag
  • Rubbish Volvo advert 13 Jan 2007 (Forum)
    Now, you might call me biased against Volvos (having been run over by one in the past), but I hope you'll forgive me if I have a rant about the latest Volvo advert on the radio. It's the one with the guy who gets a phone call while he's at the airport, and the first thing he does is launch

    ? It blames people using main roads for short journeys, naming the M62. As we know, the M62 is mentioned every day on Radio 2's travel reports. As I see it, the M62 problem is that Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Wakefield, Hudds, Oldham and Manchester are all very close to each other, so close that they are all

    and create shrinkage in the depths of the dashboard. It does not matter if you are going over a smooth or bumpy surface, if anything it is worst over a smooth road. It is now a constant annoyance, and at times can be heard over the radio - even if it is on loud to attempt to drown it out. I have taken

    tiredness. It is totally ludicrous to expect anybody to drive past a major shunt without taking a peek Rob P And then there's the local radio stations that flick on the RDS so that you can listen to two minutes of oh-so-daring and mildly suggestive chatter between the presenter and the traffic girlie

    I recently bought a secondhand 406 coupe which I love except for...... The passenger footwell started to fill up with water!! (literally) with some days over a pint of water hoovered out.

    ?   Even the radio cannot be used unless the key is in the car which really is a bit silly. My daughter likes the music on whilst waiting but we do not leave the key in the car for obvious reasons.  Anyone know any different?   So far we have found a big difference from our VW CC
