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 -

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.

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 -
