  • Dummies question re 4x4s in this snow 9 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    wrong? Or is it a case that the likes of the CRV, RAV4, Freelander, etc, simply do not have good enough drive systems for this weather? I remember as a kid back in the 1970s when we had weather like this the local radio station putting out requests from the emergency services for owners of 4x4s

    My factory fitted radio set on fire. I bought a second hand one, which works fine but there is no display on the centre column screen.

    Hi Just bought a Focus (C-max) and one of the very few disappointments is that if the window is open more than half an inch or if the radio is on more than half a decibel, I can't hear the click of the turn indicators from the dashboard. It's such a quiet click. Is there any way I can make
  • Pushbikes allowed wrong way on one way streets 6 Jun 2008 (Forum)

  • Driving Instructors 1 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    There was a radio advert the other day requesting drivers to become instructors. The only proviso was that you had held a full UK licence for a year.

    the police can see this will cause them more agrivation with the general public, ultimately alienating them still further and loosing public support. A few days ago I heard on the radio that there has been at least one new law brought in each day since 1997. No wonder the laws of the land are coming

  • What little finishing touches....... 27 Feb 2006 (Forum)
    in light rain at high speed, otherwise they just scrape across a dry screen. 2) A clock that assumes that I will never want to know the time if the temperature is less than 4 degrees (when it is replaced by the ice alert). 3) On the positive side - on a car I hired recently: A radio that switches off
