  It saddens me somewhat to say that I'm giving The Backroom a break - for an as-yet unknown period of time.

• Micra Converible? 1 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Saw a Green Nissan Micra convertible yesterday down in Radstock, near Bath. Was this an imported non-UK car or a special conversion? I am not saying I liked it, in fact it looked ghastly but it was certainly distictive! Other recent sighting was a 54 plate Merc SLR heading in the opposite

  Hi, I have an X reg., imported Renault Clio Sport 172. Currently the hazard warning lights only work with the ignition on. To pass it\'s MOT it needs to be rewired so the hazard lights are connected to the battery instead. How long should this take a competent auto electrician? Also, where would
• Escort central locking????? 6 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  This of no importance what-so-ever, it is just something that has puzzled me for a while. My Escort (L reg) will only unlcok all doors from the passenger side, but once the car is unlocked - the central locking works from the drivers side! Some people have suggested this is built in as standard
