• Car Alarm installation diagram 18 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  , does it mean the positive wire of the direction light? The positive wire inside the car or in the bonnet? Most of the diagram doesn't make sense, especially the lower half of it where it says to connect to the handbrake, to the brake, to the charge indicator/oil pressure - How do I connect to them? Can

• Rover 414 99Reg 2 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Hello there, I just bought this used car and it got a recorded mileage of 33670, and when i brough the car for a health check, the technician said it is due for cam belt change due to age (car first registered in jan 1999) and quote me £179 + vat. Is this the resonable price? I paid for my brakes
• No tax, MOT, insurance. 26 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  every year. It dose not appear very road worthy too; only 1 brake light works and tyres look dodgy. Now I thought enough is enough I will call the police and report him. After 3 tries all the reply I get is ?its a matter for DVLA and not a police issue?. I live deep in the countryside with low

• Accord Electrical Problem Rectified 5 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  I've had a problem with my Accord i-CTDI Tourer for over twelve months now. (I mentioned it here and it was moved to the technical forum where it met with a nil response.) Briefly, the fuse that protects the horn and brake lights has blown twenty-three times. It first started in May last year
• Is it worth buying?? 24 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  as the battery was dead, however the interior is not too bad considering. Exterior is really covered in moss etc but appears to just need a good clean. I reckon I'm going to need new tyres, belts,suspension bushes, oil, filter, plugs, battery brakes, gearbox oil, maybe a new cat and whatever else!!! Probably
• Picasso HDI Clutch Slip 20 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  on the brake whilst accelerating and can't get the clutch to slip once the engine has been warm for a while. Evry now and again it will slip when warm but not often. The pic is 53 reg HDI and has covered 40,000 motorway miles (no I don't rest my foot on the clutch). The dealer has told me that the only thing
• Balloon in car 6 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  , naturally enough, they floated to touch the inside of the roof. I reasoned that a loose balloon cannoning into the back of my head wouldn't be a problem. I set off, at which point the weirdness started. I accelerated out of the car park and the balloons swept forwards. I hit the brakes, and they went
• Discovery with front wheel shake at spee 29 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  My L-reg Discovery sometimes starts to violently shake at the front,with a lot of loud rattling from under the front passenger side, usually between 50 - 65 mph. The steering wheel ossillates so much it is hardly steerable, I have stopped it by braking to 30-40mph, & by speeding up sometimes
• Rough justice 12 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  as they can down the hill and straight cross the main road. A variant of "chicken" I'd guess you'd call it. Anyway, about half an a hour ago 3-4 idiots tried it again and one of them missed DEATH very narrowly indeed. A guy driving a brand new Elise along the main road was forced to slam his brakes
• Time to sell - but how much? 31 May 2004 (Forum)
  , having bought the car in July 2003. MOT is due July but I will be putting 12 months on before sale. Taxed until Feb 05. Car has also recently been serviced and fitted with new front brake disks and pads. Parkers suggests £5090 for 'Private Good' at 40000 miles so I'm guessing around the £4650 ono mark
• avensis vibration on acceleration 12 May 2004 (Forum)
  at around 2000rpm in 2nd gear e.g. at roundabouts. Will happen in any gear at highish engine revs (e.g. 3500-6000) when accelerating hard. It's still under warranty so no worries about getting it fixed. Took it to main dealer who balanced the wheels and checked the brakes - made no difference. My theory
• hyundai accent acceleration 7 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  ? or is it something else. Im reluctant to take ito the the hyundai dealer as they have a habit in this area of ripping people off. Also, anybody know if fitting brakes the the accent is easy? ive done them before to an old rover 213, but was wondering if the accent is straight forward. Dont forget my model
• Classic bad driving 15 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  about 20 yards at 60-70 mph .CRV hasn\'t anticipated this move, is spooked by lorry 1\'s move , so goes to lane 3, without signal . In lane 3 is a very fast-moving BMW which manages to brake in time . Lorry 2 turns off at the exit, not having signalled in advance , so lorry 1\'s manoeouvre unnecessary
• 205 starter motor 26 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  clicks per second -- not sure if it was from the engine bay or a relay in the glove box. At the same time the radio went dead and the digital clock went back to 1 o clock. The clicking and non operative starter happened twice, then I let the hand brake off and rolled forward a couple of feet (dont know

• Different viewpoint on mobile phones 21 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  in nose to tail traffic, the guy behind me is driving without a single hand on the wheel! I flick my sidelights on and the guy obviously sees these at the last minute thinking I have braked. He is totally lost in his conversation, the phone is thrown to the floor, his car swerves into the inside lane
• Peugeot 206 problems... 10 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  looked and felt solid. However, after 200 miles there is a grinding niose from the left wheel (I took the car back to the dealer for them to change the discs and brakes, after about 30 mins. arguing,they were going to charge me £250). That's the first problem what the hell is that noise...Secondly
