• Volvo V40 - Volvo V40 Residuals 2 Sep 2014 (Forum)
  car and probably the one I'd favour all being equal, despite being slowest and being a Volvo! Is it likely to hold its value better than the rest when the time comes to sell, or is this just a halo effect as its not 3 years old yet as a design and there's
• Porsche Boxster 986 + Boxster S (1996 - 2004) - Aftermarket HID headlights 28 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  up? Finally, is it likely that my blue bulbs (and the 9 year old stock ones that the car came with) are so rubbish that if I got some Philips +80's I'd probably be happy with the result? My main concern is that they are far dimmer than my old MK4 Golf GTi (which I found perfectly satisfactory
• Decent horns 2 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  One has nostalgia for the car horns of yesteryear. The present day ones seem apologetic rather than giving a sense of urgency. My son-in-law once had a Capri with a horn that played the theme from Colonel Bogey. He had the bad habit (still has) of tooting goodbye when he left a 10:00 p.m

• Abarth Grande Punto - Car paint , pros and cons of metallic over non 30 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  I used to professionally spray cars using good old cellulose paint in the 1980s . Brilliant stuff if you got a run you could wet flat and polish and it looked amazing. I left the body trade in the early 90s so forgive my lack of knowledge now . Fast forward to 2019 and I think most car paints

• Nissan Primera 1.8 SE Petrol (2003) - Won't start - battery or alternator...or other? 20 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  for about 18 miles last night with no problems, but apart from that it's not been used much over the past few weeks as the weather has been more suitable for my Vespa. It's the original battery in the car so at ten years old it's probably due a change, but are there likely to be any other causes

  I have a Mazda 5 which is less than 3 years old and therefore still "under warranty".  The clutch and 3 shock absorbers have gone, tracking out and handbrake has slipped.  The garage investigated the clutch and found that it "was driver error" and therefore I had to pay £900

• Jaguar XK8 and XKR (1996 - 2006) - 97 4.0 adding GPS tracker - what connections to 1 18 May 2011 (Forum)
  it be connected to the permanent +12v ? Or to an ignition-switched +12v ? The former will ensure a topped up battery-backup, but may deplete the car's battery.
