  I have a 2002 model Audi A4 Avant with Xenon headlights. The offside front parking light has blown. This wouldn't be a problem except this has triggered a permanent warning on my driver information system where the radio display normally lives. This is very annoying. I popped up the bonnet

  and under the bonnet. And they should be decent sockets, not these silly 'cigar lighter' things which are huge and waste space. 2. A standard radio interface (I know there have been several attempts) 3. A standard mobile phone interface, connected to the speakers and with a built in microphone. Just
• Final Car 18 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  have chosen the no cost option of an alectric sun roof in place of the standard Air/Con,and finally it has the same radio as in the Vectra ie takes tapes of which I have plenty instead of CDs. I am the octogenarian from how old are you and feel I will be leaving my wife a car with less expensive

  coincidental but it seems to start better with the clutch depressed and the radio off (please, no laughing). Anyone got any ideas? Cheers Mark
• Cheaper cars? 2 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  windows full stop. Have a catch and locking mechanism to slide them up and down. No carpets, just rubber mats. Radio, ash trays, glove compartments get rid of the lot. No servo brakes and ABS right out. Just the bare minimum, although I would have to have fabric seats to sit on and in this country

  I don't normally recommend them except on price - but my local Makro has a perfectly decent 12v powerpack on sale for approx £23 once you add in the VAT. No extras like built-in compressors, but very useful if you are: (1) As daft as me and leave lights, radio etc. occasionally. (2) Have
• Driving old clunkers. Why not? 28 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Purring along the Chester High Road at 70 mph on the Wirral last night in my 10 year old Volvo 740 SE, I wondered how a newer, more modern car would feel. How could it be better? Bob Harris on the radio, memories of grilled mushrooms with Brie and bacon as a starter, rib-eye steak, perfectly
• Audi A3 2.0 TDi 170PS DSG - a review 30 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  (similar to the petrol engines with twin exhausts), the 140PS has tailpipes which point to the road.

• New Car Time - Replacing Nissan Primera P11-144 6 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  a parrot kit of audio in cable, I want to control the device through the radio. Either that or I have the ability to change the radio for an OEM. Other things are niceties, but I think if I had to put two things at the top of my list for other most desirable things, it would be: Front Fog Lights

• Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec 2000 - Speedo dropping intermittently 19 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  A week or so ago the speedo needle just suddenly dropped whilst I was driving at 70mph on the motorway.  I felt a slight loss of power and the radio volume dropped.  At the same time my heart came up in my mouth and my legs turned to jelly! I do the same journey 5 days
