• Vauxhall Corsa C (2000 - 2006) - 02 1.0l Won't start 16 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  Hi, I'm having nothing but problems with my wife's Corsa C. It's the 1.0l 12v. I drained the battery listening to the radio when doing work for it's recent MOT. I recharged and it ran lumpy, mis-fired at low revs and lacked power. Two days later I went to start it in the morning and it wouldn't

  is dead but some electrical items still work such as lights heater blower &radio.

• My car is ten years old. What am I missing? 26 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Reading other threads about scrappage etc got me thinking. My first car was a 1959 Ford Popular. Side valve engine, 3-speed box, dodgy brakes, poor performance, inadequate heater, no radio, vacuum wipers. And it went to the scrapyard with about 70,000 miles on it having already had an engine

  it into the car though, since the part sounds a) fairly big and b) metallic so I don't want to take the chance of zapping the radio though an inadvertent short circuit. Please can someone confirm that these don't make an alarming rattling noise when turned upside down so I can get on with trying to get a refund
• Mitsubishi - Too Much Advertising 5 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Is it me or do you hear an advert for Mitsubishi at least every 30 minutes on commercial radio? Go on ebay and there they are again! Wherever you go theres an ad giving you huge discounts well beyond the norm. Now I might be suspicious especially with suggestions that Mitsubishi have taken over

  . worth it for the sake of a bulb. Does anyone know if I'm likely to cause more issues if something falls out etc when I remove the centre console? It looks like it'll unscrew and come away but on it is the radio, two vent fans, the buttons for fog lights and rear demist. I really don't want to risk
• SPEED Trap locator, portable type 24 Oct 2007 (Forum)

  (a total of 8 Officers). OK they may be on a break but why all in the same place, near but not in the depot, and where they cannot get a cup of tea. . . . .
