  Today I used my last dry cleaners wire coat hanger. I used it to make a paint stir paddle, and in doing so, I looked at it's modern replacement, a plastic jobby. Those wire hangers, an instant and everlasting repair for the vandalised radio antenna, had other endless uses but I must
• Austin Allegro- worst car of all time !? 25 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  I heard on the radio this afternoon that the Allegro, my first car, at 17 till 25 has been voted the worst car ever. I can't believe it I loved it, despite often doing things you do as a youngster, I never got stopped or caught, and was very reliable. However why did the police use them as patrol

  The wife has an October 2003 Astra Convertible which has been faultless. Until now, now it's just out of warranty!!! One of the backlight bulbs behind the radio display unit at the top of the dash has gone so that one half of the display is very dim. How easy is it then to get to this to change

  Hi, Just swapped the radio/cassette out of my Daughters '02 Corsa for a CDR 2005 CD player. All works fine but i would like to change the steering wheel for the same type with audio controls fitted. Is it a straight change or is a harness needed as well? I suspect its already wired but I would
• Big-dog, this is rubber ducky, over 8 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Later this month I'm going to be going on a weeks holiday to Devon with some friends. Thee's enough of us that we'll be in 2 cars, so I thought it would be amusing if we could pick up some sort of 2-way radio to allow us to communicate between the vehicles. Anyone know of anything available which

  Defender went in for its MoT today to the local LR Centre (I, know, I know). Anyway they gave me a 2000 mile old 03 Fr**lander, first time I'd ever driven one. What an awful thing. Dismal instruments, poor radio, interior like an 80s Montego, to add insulst to injury its brake lights were stuck
