• Help please with bump in work car park...girl claiming more damage than i caused. 5 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  wing. So i went back into work and asked at reception whos car it was. They made a call on the radio and some girl came out. I showed her to her car and described what happened. I said i would pay for the costs rather than going for insurance. She then pointed out some marks near the headlight which
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 96 1.9 slow to start-glowplugs replaced-what next? 19 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  it has stopped clicking , however when the key is turned to initiate the glow plugs there is a slight faint buzzing sound until the light goes out , sounds a bit like the radio is on but not tuned in . Next thing to try we think maybe the glow plug relay - but these seem to be quite dear , if anyone has
• Stupid driving 8 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  but to undertake them both in lane 2 as I had a stream of traffic behind me which I did not trust to stop in time. In my mirrors I could see lane 3 slewing to a halt. I feared an accident but heard nothing subsequently on the radio. Idiots !

  Operation" warning light. 7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying. 8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 9. Every time

  , admittedly allowing about 10 mins for a stretch of legs at South Mimms. The M25 was murder, something like 2 hours to do 30 odd miles (accident on opposite carriageway but nothing to cause a hold up on ours). Yet I gather that we were lucky; according to Radio 2 traffic news the M6 was virtually stationary
• Toyota Yaris D-4D Testdrive. 10 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  the reassuring diesel sound but with the radio on low you can't hear the engine at all. I found there was plenty of pull throughout the gears and always found there was lots of power in reserve should I need it. With three up, I drove up quite a steep hill and was able to keep it in fifth all the way to the top
• Peugeot 2008 1.2 puretech 130 EAT6 Allure Premium - five year report 19 Oct 2024 (Forum)
  .     Despite the minor niggles of a radio that won’t stay on for long unless the engine is restarted and a pathetic peep of a horn,  Mrs F and I continue to be well pleased.  It is not yet old enough to tell whether Peugeot’s purported superior mechanical and bodily longevity still

  plugged into the cig lighter, so I took that out whilst parked but made no difference. Oh and in the 'secret menu' the battery voltage yesterday before completely dying was showing bt080, today after i jumped it, it was showing bt095 to bt110 with no lights, climate control, radio, anything

  the car about 700miles. On several occasions (windows down, radio off, quiet road) I thought I heard the noise again however I dismissed it/thought I must be imagining it because that exhaust had been fixed, right? Anyway I booked it in for cam belt, service and health check by a reputable garage

  ago, and never heard anything back from them. Then last week my whole media system just froze, nothing worked , no radio, no cd player, no sat nav, no reverse parking sensor, it just froze. So after booking my car in, and also telling them about the "bear left and then" issue, I was told that they had
• Ford Fiesta MK2 - Can I charge my car battery with a smaller charger 10 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  so that I can turn disconnect it when not in use. There is no radio or engine code to worry about, and aside from the clock losing time there's really no problem disconnecting the battery every time. But it would be nice if there was no short circuit Either way, can I give my battery a bit
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 01 1.8 Running very rough - electrical issue? 22 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  electrical. I've bought HT leads but not yet fitted them due to only ever remembering mid journey. When it's really stuttering, it interferes with the radio, again leading me to believe it's an electrical fault or a short somewhere. Someone suggested it may be the ignition coil pack. I can get a new one

• FIAT Grande Punto (2006 - 2009) - Impressions of 28 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  . Lockable caps are a waste of time. Same problem with the radio. I could get it to switch on but not to switch off. I spent 3 weeks with the volume at zero! Either it was broken or it was over complicated. Then the seal on the drivers door fell off and the grille became loose. Conclusion - I wouldn't
• The hypocrisy in road pricing 5 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  I was fuming this morning whilst in the car listening to a debate on Radio Five Live speculating on the contents of Rod Eddington?s report on road pricing, I did not catch all of the show however the presenter, Mathew Bannister, did not help my blood pressure, he tended to defend the principals

  the radio and tape. But when I select the (Standard boot) CD multi-changer, nothing - It wouldn't recognise it. So I exchanged it for another one (from a standard 406 coupe 2001). Installed it, and that seemed O.K., it recognises the cd changer, until I tried operating the stalk controls. Now it doesn't
• A most reliable car 17 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  boil over once - broken fanbelt. It has never failed to start and run or do what it is required of it and I see it now shows 120,000 km. The cassette has packed up but the radio still works. There is no significant rot anywhere although the white paint has faded. The same was true of all the others
