• M reg Peugeot 306 heater fan switch 26 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  , radio, various controls) and unscrewing the control panel I tried to get it out through the slot in the facia, but couldn't manage it. It seems to me that the facia would have to come out, but hope I am wrong. The manual shows the heater resistor as having 4 resistors, so even at top speed the current
• Scenic driving me - or not - nuts 24 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  first time. The battery seems to be strong, as lights, radio and central locking all work perfectly however the starter motor doesn't turn over at all. My first thought was that the immobiliser was faulty but the AA say thats not the case. They've taken meter readings from around the starter motor
• Vigilantes 26 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  . This was raised in a radio programme when someone, claiming to be an off-duty policeman, was advocating that the public should report all traffic offences they witness to the police. He argued that most of us would not hesitate to report a serious offence like a hit and run driver; so why not lesser offences
• Nobody really needs a 4x4 11 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  A deliberatly provocative title, following Lib-Dem MP Norman Baker's Radio 4 interview. But really a tale of my own stupidity and perceived reality. I've had my old SIII Landy for about a year now, and it is now sadly off-road having been SORNicated by rust. During that year I've driven it off
• Flat batteries & memory loss 18 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Slightly different to jump start thread & to a thread from early Jan 2002. I've had to fit a new battery last week & as usual radio code & electric windows lost their programming. That was all, as the car is a '93 model Carlton & has none of the later electronics as fitted to more modern cars
• Crap accident excuses 31 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  of residue on the road or skid marks at the scene. When I put it to her that she had simply been concentrating on the radio rather than the road she burst into tears and denied it (typical female reaction), even her father admitted this was probably what had happened! My moto is if you make a mistake admit
• Autonomous driving light 21 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  tailgate so closely that I can't even see their number plates! In future, there should be some way of communication across autonomous cars so that one can tell about obstacles ahead via some preset radio frequency.  We may even get autonomous driving lanes and human driving lanes. More
• What to do with car for three months? 16 May 2022 (Forum)
  or may not be an option. But recommendation for a budget one (that is reliable enough to be left for 3 months unattended) gratefully received. I'll recommend she takes it for a good run before parking up and switches the radio and anything else off before turns off the engine. I could suggest she
• Hard Use Electric Car Range 16 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  this weekend from Kingston, W London, to Romford, East london. On the way back, at night, cold, wet, I'd have had headlamps on, air con + heating, radio, phone charging,  and stop and start driving for 2.5 hours - covering just 22 miles.I really wonder how long the battery would last stop and go
• Dream car? 4 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  I have been thinking about what my next car would be and trying to decide what my 'dream car' would be. Sitting in traffic one day, I thought about my current car... it has a heater, air con, a radio, it's cheap to run, realiable and it'll get to 15mph pretty quickly. What more could I want when

  to focus on, also I may add that the dash is completely out, the lights won't come on at all, the headlights, interior lights, radio etc still work though. Already checked fuses and they are all working fine, I'm baffled, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
• Any - Plod's luxury cars 3 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  for their fine collection ability. They aren't for stopping speeding around here as the a1(m) is covered in speed camera and you're lucky if you can top 40mph on a good day. Anyway rant over. I'm sure next time I scratch my nose, or lift my hand from the steering wheel for a second to change the radio

• Ford CMAX 1.6 TDCi Titanium 2010 - CMAX CD player 20 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  was concerned because heating CDs to that sort of temperature can't be good for them. Some time later I was playing a CD and also had the heater on to demist the screen when the CD cut out and the radio came on. The screen showed a "CD high temp" message. I took the car back to the dealer with a photo
