• Renault Laguna II (2001 - 2007) - 2003 1.8 Trip computer won't show miles 29 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  My 2003 Laguna 1.8 16v recently had the gearbox replaced as a result of differential failure. During the repair the battery was disconnected so I had to re-code the radio. (No problem) However the digital odometer and trip computer will now only indicate metric units, so my 110,000 mile car now

  used, as the instruction manual was still wrapped in plastic? The car has the Cabbasse auditorium fitted and all the other features work fine (radio, phone etc). I even asked my dealer if they had any 06 lagunas with sat-nav so i could try the disc from that car, but they were very unco-operative

• Driving Music 18 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  I reasonably regularly drive overnight to, or indeed from, Italy. Usually alone so music is very important. As most continental night time radio stations are fairly poor I take my own. I don't want you to think I'm doing a "Clarkson" in some transcontinental supercar, in fact it is mainly in my

• Gas Cylinders Again - A12 6 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I hired a van today to pick up some bits and pieces which involved a journey from near Braintree to just north of Colchester. About 8 miles from the A12 a traffic announcement blasted out of the radio (made me jump - didn't know it was on) saying that the A12 is closed in both directions for 24

• Its 1969 again ( headgaskets iron heads) 3 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  The sun is on your back, the budgie is on its perch and `lady Madonna` issues from the 2 watt car radio. Yes, its a great July Saturday morning in 1969, you pop the bonnet on your parents drive and BMC`s green cast iron motor gleams back. The long reach sparkplugs slip out easily in their copper
• Acceleration 'interference' noise - Leon 10 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  a being placed together or the ?interference? from a radio. I honestly can?t really explain what it sounds like any better than that. I can drown it out by turning the stereo up but even then I can hear it in the background. It doesn?t just occur when the revs reach the above level ? I can be driving

• never owned a Citroen.....but hmmm! 2 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  a teflon shovel. It felt solid when I expected bits to fly off it as I drove down the road. There was no road noise! How did they do that? Also liked the idea of the fixed hub in the steering wheeel with radio and cruise controls. Excellent kit for the money, and the final nail in the coffin (for my
• Suzuki Grand Vitara Advertising 19 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  and side impact protection beams" - hardly groundbreaking innovation! Side impact beams? "we have also added and integrated audio system" - so its got a radio? It looks a totally, bland, non-descript car and the advertising blurb seems to back that up! Oh, and another question, what exactly

  to jump start. Q2. Can anyone recommend a source of inexpensive but reliable batteries, I don't want to pay Honda prices. Q3.

• Pointless Features 30 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  by the toy's presence but less desirable in that it may be less reliable and more expensive to repair. Long ago when cars were basic, the addition of (say) a radio must have seemed unequivocally good in that the benefit was large, the risk small, and if it broke then you were no worse off. Now, the marginal
