• Private plate transferring 17 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  After the fiasco with the last S Type purchase, I have finally found the S type at the right price. Only issue is that the car has a private plate on it which is coming off and the car is going back onto its original plate. I am collecting the car this Saturday, but I am unsure of how the transfer
• Rover 25 (1999 - 2005) - 2005 - Electrical fault 16 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Briefly, when I got back to the car yesterday, I noticed that the O/S sidelights (back and front) were on, as was the light over the rear number plate. Same happened when I got home but after switching on and off a few times, they finally went out (as did the alarm light.....). Today, the N/S

• Quick tyre question 10 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Wife's car goes in for MOT tomorrow and I know it needs two front tyres - tracking was out and outer edge is worn so was going to get two more Toyo Proxies Tr1's (195/50/15)- only problem is I don't trust garage to track it if it needs it again with new tyres and garage I trust is a good run so I

• Ford radio help 14 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, I?m looking for some information on Ford Radios, namely the latest Ford 6000CD fitted to the latest Fiesta/Focus/S-Max/Galaxy/Mondeo/Transit?. It is not the Sony unit, rather the Ford unit but it is the one with the large CENTRAL rotary volume control. It isn?t the older 6000 units where

At the same time the steering geometry was checked and adjusted.It has just passed it`s M.O.T Could the different tyre treads, or the fact that they are low profile tyres or the different degrees of wear front to back account
• Product placement in films 24 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I had the dubious pleasure at the weekend of watching the films 'The Cat in the Hat' and 'Thunderbirds' (don't ask). I was amazed at the amount of Ford cars and logos appearing in both these films. Thunderbirds featured the Ford T'bird based pink FAB1 car, as well as loads of 4x4's and (i think
• 306 wipers not parking 4 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Hi everyone, I have a question from a work colleague who?s not on the ?net. His Peugeot 306 wipers do not ?park? when switched off (they just stop where they are at the time) He was advised to try another wiper motor, and has tried three separate motors off the shelf from a local breakers

• Mis-matched xenon headlamps - Citroen C5 10 May 2005 (Forum)
  I've just had the entire n/s xenon headlamp unit replaced on my Dec'01 Citroen C5 due to a failed igniter unit in the original, for the painful cost of £430 (which was after 10% off and free fitting)! However, I've now discovered that whilst the original xenon has a blue tint, the new xenon
• Norde Lorries - query answered 20 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I can't remember which thread but someone mentioned an old make of lorry called Norde, and how they'd seen one travelling at high speed on the M1 in the early 60's. I was leafing through a magazine called (I think) Heritage Commercials at the newsagents. On the last page was an article about Norde

• Honda Accord 1988 - Engine Idle Surging 8 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, I own a 1988 Honda Accord, which has just survived a snapped cambelt. (I might add that it was last changed within it?s alloted mileage limit of 72k, so I was a little surprised it failed prematurely) The car has always had a ?surging? problem during it?s warmup phase, during which time
• Speeding (mostly excl cameras) XVII 15 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  It\'s late, I\'m bored and thought I\'d post this. This is an interesting one. I was watching the TV before and that advert came on where the Nissan Sunny careers into that kid and it says \"If this car were travelling at 30mph, it would have stopped....here\" Anyway, I can\'t say I\'d ever
• Big cars - why would you need one? 3 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Sat in an Audi A8 the other day. Quite nice, but made me think 'Why would anyone want a car this big?' Cars like the A8, 7 series, S-class, etc use loads of fuel and are unwieldy. One-up, it's like sitting in an empty concert hall; hardly involving. More rear leg room? Who for, and do they really
