Fuel saving tip for lorry drivers. 13 Jul 2008 (Forum)
The leader of the fuel protests suggested on the radio today that they may have to begin French style blockades to get the government to realise how much the fuel prices are hurting the haulage industry at the moment. I have a suggestion, it's called slipstreaming. Instead of insisting -

Volvo - out of time, into an aged Volvo 27 Apr 2008 (Forum)
interesting to note amid all the tributes to the late jazz musician and radio comic host Humphrey Littleton in today's newspapers, that he "maintained a dogged attachment to a battered Volvo estate in which he reputedly clocked up more than 250,000 miles". A truly multi talented guy and so -

Detecting stolen cars. 17 Jul 2007 (Forum)
Was watching the police tracing a few stolen cars on "road wars" last night. The equipment used in tracing these stolen cars seemed to be very low technology and, if I am not mistaken was achieved by plod driving around and listening to a radio signal getting louder as they got closer -

Dunwoody 16 Feb 2007 (Forum)
I bet many folks heard Ms Dunwoody on the radio today saying motorists felt persecuted but really we are a privileged lot who get motoring on the cheap. Mr Brown is apparently our champion who taxes us lightly etc etc. We should use public transport more often etc etc. We should look at road -

I locked the car using the blip keypad. The blip has stopped working, however can open the car door using the key & the alarm does not go off as it should & has in the past. Bigger problem is the car does not start. There is power to the car as I can open the windows & the radio works. The red -
Honda Civic heatshield 19 Apr 2006 (Forum)

BBC1 - Traffic Cops 2 Nov 2005 (Forum)
seat belt during the pursuit, as well as loads of one handed driving because of having to operate his 2 way radio? Obviously driving one handed is commonplace as has been discussed before, but why no seatbelt? -

Just been listening to a very interesting radio programme featuring a car valuation expert. A chap just enquired on the value of an immaculate '04 Lexus GS430 sport? with 12k on the clock and fully loaded. IIRC he paid £42k for it about 10 months ago and today's valuation is..... ..... £26k -
fitting a CD player, any hope? 22 Oct 2004 (Forum)
Hi, I've got a Renault BERLINGO van (P reg). I want to fit a CD player. However the radio/tape player is in built and made by Renault. It also linked up to a security code that you have to type in to be able to start the engine. Anyone think that I have a chance in hell in buying and get -

I have a question volume 41 11 May 2004 (Forum)
I have just moved into a house with the luxury of electrically operated garage doors. Sadly, not remote control from the car but there are a couple of boxes that look like radio receivers so maybe in the future. Anyway, one of the doors has a problem. When I press the button to close the door -
PUG 206 Diesel Left wheel grinding... 18 Aug 2003 (Forum)
Hello Folks, When I let the car cruise (at low speeds), not accelerating, no radio etc there is a grinding noise from the left (passanger side wheel). I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the brake pads and the discs (which I found rather surprising as the car has only 12,000 -

Cause of accidents... 22 Aug 2002 (Forum)
On the radio this morning, and over the last week or so, has been an advert encouraging people to take a break when they're driving to avoid getting over tired. Sensible advice. However, it also says 30% of all motorway accidents are due to someone being overtired. Really ? Seems a bit unlikely -
Astucia 10 May 2001 (Forum)
of the examples they give. Yet what they do not say on the website is they are developing a road stud which looks like any other, yet can measure speed, contains a camera, and can communicate via radio to the "road authorities" ie police.
