• Honda Jazz/Fit (2001 - 2008) - First MOT 21 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  A curious thing. My Jazz went in for it's first MOT on Tuesday, prior to the end of lease in March. On the way home I noticed that the small display panel in the centre of the dash had been wiped clean. The display is for radio/time/cd information normally. My housekeeping is not all it could be, I
• Help. Am I getting old? 18 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Evening, Taking my boys to school this morning, it came on the radio that around 20% of all children think their parents drive to fast. So, I ask the question. "Do I drive to fast"? The answer was no from both of them so Im sitting there feeling quite good about it. So, the second question
• Look & Learn (a pictorial journey into the future) 3 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  -trains, individual passenger vehicles and VTOL aircraft. From here too, incoming motorists are directed by radio to areas where parking is available ." Now for the funny bit "A control system regulates all incoming traffic reducing congestion to a minimum" The heady optimism of the late 60s eh ?
• Nissan Navara d22 Frontier (2002 - 2005) - CD stuck in Clarion CD Player 22 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  . The question is - is this an affordable repair - should I get the dealer to do it or a car hifi specialist. Would it be cheaper / better to just replace the radio / CD player. Any views much appreciated
• Green driving? 17 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  I've been hearing these adds on the local radio about how to reduce emissions etc. One thing they said is that we should change up gears earlier. Is this true? I know this can be true, but if you're using the gears correctly I thought higher revs isn't necessarily worse. What is best/worse? Low
• Failing battery in Focus remote? 3 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  We've noticed, over the past few days, that the range of the remote (radio) locking key to SWMBO'S Focus seems to be getting much reduced. As the car is coming up to 5 years old, we suspect that the battery in the key is dying. Instructions in the manual seem very straightforward for changing
• Mondeo Central Locking 28 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  A bit of a strange one this, but when using the central locking feature of a 1997 MK2 Mondeo it locks and then unlocks again within one second of locking. This happens if using the remote which is the radio wave type rather than infa red or the key it does not seem to make any change

• THB Bury car phone kit 3 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Just purchased a car that has the THB Bury car kit installed. It has a 'Take and Talk' adapter for the old Nokia 3 series phones. Before buying an adapter for my current phone (around £50) I dug out an old nokia 3310 to see if it all worked. When I get a call the radio will mute but I can't hear
• ford 6000 external audio input 7 May 2006 (Forum)
  Is is possible to plug a portable music player into a Ford 6000 Radio/CD ? The unit is marked as being "CD changer compatible". I take it therefore, that this unit is capable of taking input from an external audio source. I know there's those FM transmitter things, but I was thinking of a simple
• Speeding (mostly excl cameras) Vol 38 29 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  On Radio Lacal today, anyone being awarded points for exceeding the 30, on the Luton ring road, near the Toyota dealership,can possibly have them removed. It appears, the street lighting spacing & oblgatory repeater signage isn't in existence - never has been. There are tall high density lamp
• So we do have traffic police -- official 26 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I quote verbatim from a recording of the unappealing You & Yours consumer programme on BBC Radio 4, 19/01/06. Interviewer: ". . . but what about the argument that these cameras have replaced traffic police and that the cameras are missing some of the worst offenders . . . Steven Ladyman, "Roads
• Ebay CD player for a 2002 Vauxhall Astra 14 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I should like to buy a CD player from ebay to upgrade the current casette/radio I have in a 2002 Astra (dash display and steering wheel controls). What concerns me is that most are supplied with the code but no mention of a manual. When I first bought this car it took me ages to workout how
• 70mph and CO2 reduction 15 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Broadcast on Radio 4 this morning... "That the government may crack down hard on motorway speeds above 70mph as part of the aim to reduce greenhouse CO2 emissions as there is scientific evidence that above this speed the level of CO2 emissions of vehicles increases dramatically" It was also said

  to come off? 2) Are there likely to be problems with the car electrics/electronics? I know that the radio will have to be recoded but is anything else likely to be affected? I'm reluctant to go to a VW dealer because of their ridiculous prices. Thanks.
• End of the road for the Astra...... 12 May 2004 (Forum)
  ......stereo? (It's ok Hugo, you don't have to go into rehab yet! Car, fingers crossed, is ok.) Radio-cassette today has done a strange thing, It comes on for a few seconds, and then emits an extra-terrestrial raspberry sound for a bit, and then packs in. Keeps doing it. Is it terminal? Could
• Peugeot 206 1.4 18 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Driving home to London from Manchester yesterday heard what I thought was road noise. Switched off radio to hear low pitched noise similar to child trying to play first notes on a recorder or a bit like wind coming under the bonnet! It was intermittent then was accompanied by a squeaking noise
• Annoying Cavalier Noise 31 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  . The noise does not seem to correspond to suspension or steering movement, its more of a tapping noise than a knocking, steering/suspension type noise. Has anyone else experienced this - it seems to be getting worse and the radio is having to be turned up slightly more as each day passes!
• Pug 206 Diesel engine tick 9 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  Hello folks, Wonder if you could put my mind at rest on a ticking noise coming from my 1.9 Diesel engine? The noise only appers when I am cruising at 65-upwards and not when I am stationery; I wouldn't go as far as to say it is loud but it is noticeable with the radio off. The car only has
