  of their illumination is soothing and easy on the eye. The standard fit "Gamma" radio / cassette with separate CD player is still present, sounds good, and is fairly easy to use. The driving position is excellent, too. Being a later mkIV (2003 model year), the car benefits from some upgrades over earlier models
• 2008 Motorshow- Good Bad and Ugly 30 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  to have taken a backward step from my old 2000 model year Cordoba! Away from the car stands, the Honda show was well worth the money, with some amazing driving/ riding- although the hosts seemed to be local radio wannabes- and "to dream the impossible dream" was sung/ played ad nauseum. Dont know whose

  hand drive configeration which is annoying, as you get an unswept area in the top right hand corner of the screen. The radio is a pain to tune until you figure it out. And I don't know how to return immediately back to the previous station after you receive a TP traffic alert. The starting sequence
• Honda Accord UK (2003 - 2008) - 04 Tourer diesel at 100k miles 18 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  spec model. Could do with the traffic news memory you get in the VW radios. H&V - generally good but the not up to the standard of VW - has the habit of steaming up after 400 yards on a cold morning unless it is running on auto. Claims to use the air conditioning system to heat cold air when on Auto
• see if I care..... 15 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  . Doesn\'t seem that important so that can wait. Upholstery is OK but I will get it redone (my local guy does repair work for the BMW dealer so he\'ll do a good job). There\'s a hole where the original radio/8-track used to be. I talked to the Mustang Owners\' Club and these seem to be as scarce
• The unethical & deplorable actions of 2 companies 20 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  perjury being committed? The admission of YY that liability should be accepted, followed by the radio silence leads me to believe that something untoward is going on – are they happy to facilitate the fraud being committed by XX? I raise the question – under oath – would XX
• Toyota Prius not rubbish to drive shock! 30 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  car I can remember driving (e.g. it bleeps like a 40 ton truck when reversing and some radio functions are disabled when the car is moving). It also sometimes makes odd noises when the petrol engine engages and disengages itself, the amount of servo assistance to the steering changes for no apparent

  gestures. How you people manage this day to day and hold down full time stressful jobs as well beats me. I used to rent cars at LHR. If you rent one there\'s nowhere to put it when you\'re not using it. If you do find somewhere you think is OK, Dracula\'s daughter clad in black and laden down with radios

  of trading in). I enjoyed the spec offered in the Urban and especially appreciated the integration of the ICE system (Amundsen+) with the Bluetooth,Sat-nav, Maxidot and Park Assist. The DAB was most welcome and has opened my families eyes to the joys of Radio 4 extra and 5 live in stereo. The SD based MP3

  ? reg Audi A4 and the LagunaII Tourer that I?ve had, so that was money well saved. (The ?97 Passat?s Climatic was pure set?n?forget though ? excellent) - the RDS Traffic announcements still work when listening to AM; the radio can be set to store the announcements so I can check the state of the M4

  away. It has made me friends though. Strangers have taken to tooting friendly greetings to me at traffic lights. I have a geekish tendency to get absorbed in the iPod/Radio/OBC interface when stopped. Ten seconds might go by where I have no idea that the lights have changed. I look up and think
• Any - Turbocharger Care 1 Dec 2021 (Forum)
  seatbelt on and check mirrors, doors, radio etc etc whilst the engine idles. Keep feet off all pedals. What this does is give the engine chance to get oil moving around all the vital parts under no load and thus minimise wear. It's especially beneficial to turbos, cams and cam chains, but also

  passengers at school or work and - the hijackers' current favourite - your front gate. More than 70 percent of hijackings in Gauteng now happen in the driveways of the victims' homes. To avoid this situation you need to be extra alert. About 2km from your home, switch off the car radio and concentrate

  well out of sight, then continue, or better still double back. Be on the lookout however for a "stooge" vehicle which may still be observing you. Professional carjackers will have two-way radios. If you have the time, stop frequently in these places, and see whether other vehicles appear

  Taken from the entertaining Sniff Petrol site Day one: This is Britain’s cheapest new car. It costs £5995 for which you get a five door hatchback with no central locking, no radio, no electric windows and only available in white. What it does have

  sculptures about, and given the lot of the average person in this part of the world, I cannot but suspect that he is over-egging the pudding of his Jonah-like existence somewhat.

• [C]5 go on a trip........ 21 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  sequentially through them all to get to the one you want. Miss it and you will have to go all the way around again. The radio has its own little switch arm on the steering column. Cheap, flimsy, difficult to see/find until you get used to it, but it has all the right functions. If I could have got
