• No FM/AM by 2012 19 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  that there will still be plenty of 3+ year old cars knocking around by then relying on good old FM/AM. I just think this is crazy, I'm not sure what is happening on the Continent but are their new cars going to have their FM radios swapped out for DAB ones when they are imported? Looks like I'll have to find another

  but the first service wasn't carried out for another 6 months 18m/15k. The 2nd service was 26m/26k. I always thought it was important to carry out the first service on time. Should we worry?
• Volkswagen Passat (2005 - ) - How long did your tyres last? 13 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  criteria is grip (especially given our inclement weather) and she spends most days trawling up and down our motorway system. Cost is not so important...the lease company will be paying and she has to use ATS.
• Confirming Insurance Details 4 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  I had a reminder of just how important it is to check your insurance details today. I'd double checked on the phone when taking the policy out that I'd be covered towing my caravan. The call centre had told me that they'd had to check with their manager, because the caravan (24ft) is slightly

• What Tyres for a Ford Focus? 4 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  there are any that are comparable in these respects but also quieter? I'm finding they kick up a lot of tyre roar on the motorway. Basically, what's the best all-rounder tyre, though I don't want to sacrifice grip, as I think this is easily the most important (and safest) aspect of a tyre. It's just, surely

• Thinking of ending love affair (with Boxster) 20 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  (convertible if poss)/ A3 3.2 / Nissan 350z (import) at about 4-5 years old with 40k-60k miles on - question is, will these be more in line with my needs for paranoia-free reliable motoring, or is any performance car at 5 years old likely to throw up expensive issues? Budget is 11k-12k. Still not up
• Estate+roofbox or MPV 6 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  I currently have an estate 406 HDI and need more space. I do high milage and long distance driving so economy is important. Would the drag caused by a roof box give lower mileage than say an MPV. My idea would be to take the seats out of an MPV and use it as a van when I need to move stuff
• '97 Nissan Mistral - water in footwell? 26 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  My dad has a '97 Mistral (Terrano import) and has developed a very soggy carpet in the passenger side footwell. He took it in for service 2 weeks back and the garage poked around and cleared some drainage holes, but this hasn't solved the problem. The rain comes in even when the car is stationery

• More motorway nonsense 8 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  of a motorway that's that busy and that important, they should be working 24/7 on it. Same further up near Stafford. I have NEVER seen anyone working on any of these roadworks, and am at the end of my tether about it. Who do I complain to? As someone says in another thread, the politicians appear hell-bent
• Does the Volvo C70 exist?! 4 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Three months ago I paid a 10% deposit for the new Volvo C70... They still can't give me a delivery date, or even a build date! The UK importer has absolutely NO IDEA when the car might turn up, other than hopefully sometime in October/November. Anyone seen any of these cars on the road?! I
• New Fiesta TDCi control box ticking 25 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  demist and it says it controls the alarm and central locking too. Question is, is there any possibility of it breaking, as it needs to take me to Paris on Monday, and wiping out a critical system or two? As I don't know where the loose connection is, i don't want it to fail something important! Any
• How can you tell ? 22 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  My son got his imported 2nd hand Toyota Lucida yesterday. The dealer assured him they had changed the cambelt. They had shown him the old belt, (well, an old belt) but a suspicious person like me can't help wondering. The engine seems very clean, and has fresh oil, but should he have some
