• Legacy Electrics Susceptible to Interference 1 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Hi-my car sudddenly doesn't like where I park it. The key fob won't open the door and whilst turning the key lights up the dash and air-con etc work fine, I can't start it. Had the RAC out and using a hand held device of some sort he found something was interfering with the signal from the fob

  . As the car came with no owner's handbook I have no idea what this light signifies. I thought perhaps it may have something to do with the air con but I'm probably wrong. Can someone help please?

• Pug 306 engine removal 9 May 2007 (Forum)
  I have a 1995 306 turbo diesel (no air con) that needs the cambelt renewing and all the advice is that it is a bit of a fiddly job requiring engine mounts being removed etc. Ideally I would like to renew the water pump at the same time but that would probably make the job even more difficult so I

• What constitutes an insurance mod 23 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Many cars these days have a standard spec and a list of optional extras. With German cars, BMW, Merc, Porsche, no optional extras gets you a very agricultural vehicle so you end up adding bigger alloys, air con, metalic paint, leather et al. Are these "factory fitted" options considered
• what to buy with £11,000 11 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  is to go from A to B (36 miles a day) 95 % of the time. Citroen seems cheap and cheerful but reliability an issue as it seems.
