  at the car but could not tell anything as the cars memmory was cleared when the battery went flat. I was advised to take it into the dealer....which I did. A week after the car was taken in I was wondering what was happening to the car, so I phoned them up. I was told that the RADIO was causing
• Citroen C3 Aircross - Hire Car 22 Apr 2023 (Forum)
  . 3.  This seems to be a very French thing, but the cruise control buttons were strangely laid out and hidden in a stubby stalk behind the steering wheel.  It's the same on our Renault, except they hide the radio buttons on those. 4.  The ride and handling is extremely weird

• New cars - 'infotainment' screens 20 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  In idle moments I read new car reviews on HJ. Sadly but surely my 04 x-type will probably need replacing before I do. (It'll probably be a Dacia). The 'big thing' seems to be the display screens (anything up to 12") which control everything from radio to heating/ac to navigation
• Rover 600 - Getting a flat tyre on the M62 19 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Ahh the joys of travelling, as I progressed along the M62 on Monday evening I was aware of a steady 'tick' 'tick' 'tick' that wasn't from the radio and then it progressed to 'thud thud thud' and I knew I had a flat tyre... So the car is 18 years old, but I'd replaced the spare tyre

  also the cars original installed immobiliser.

• Skoda Yeti 4x4 140/Skoda Octavia 1.6 Estate - General 1 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  for the 1.6 diesel rather than the 2.0. It has more than enough power, is very quiet and smooth particularly with the 7 speed DSG box and the money saved over the 2.0 is sufficient to go for Elegance trim which gives satnav, bluetooth and a decent DAB radio plus automatic wipers and headlights. Added to which

• VW Polo - A Curious Incident 13 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  I was parking my car in an undisclosed inner-city car-park the other day with the radio on fairly high; ah, credibility down the drain already!  As I was jamming out to my favourite R.E.M. song I realised the space I was attempting to drive into was far too narrow.  I promptly reversed
