• Volkswagen Golf - New tyre valves needed for winter tyre change? 19 May 2012 (Forum)
  I bought winter tyres for the first time last winter, from Kwikfit and used their "tyre hotel" storage service for my summer tyres. On arranging to swap back to the summer tyres via their website, I find it is impossible to avoid being charged for a new set of valves, at a price of £19

  the same car again, so I was ready to have one after a few calls. Browsing the pictures of the latest model, I've found a difference or two. They've replaced the gear stick surround with a black one, no problem. Then I found out they've removed the little storage area from around the seats; oh dear, it's

  manage it I might also want to drain and flush the raw seawater cooling system, so corrosion inhibitors might still be useful there. This use would be for storage only, not operation, so ultimately total loss, and fancy stuff is probably contraindicated.
• Big SUV-type cars - - not dead yet 1 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  More musings from Irvine CA......although lots of EVs around, the sound of snarling growling V8s will heard for some time yet on American roads.  But what is very noticeable is the variety of big family SUVs on the driveways here (the double garages seem to be used as storage space), mostly

  in its grayish beige colour. After a couple of days though I started to warm to it. Immensely practical, the children had acres of room in the back. The sliding doors and flat floor made access a breeze. Plenty of room in the front with masses of storage space for stuff. The boot easily swallowed all

  Hi I have some strange problems with my electrics.  I bought the car second hand from a main dealer about 4 months ago.  I noticed lots of packs of bulbs in the storage space and thought nothing of it, not sure if it's related. The problems are, (these things were fine

• Rip-off Dealer only parts 27 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  OK, I've had my Citroen C8 for 5 months now and overall I'm really pleased. There are a few niggles, such as the storage compartments - although there are a multitude of them, they are all really odd shapes and can't fit anything regular in them (CD's for instance!) But, my clever (I had other

  it is not worth repairing!) but they want to take it to free and safe storage. The car has dents to the passenger door, a broken wing mirror, gouged bumper mouldings and a broken rear light cluster but it is driveable. I guess the parts and labour charges would soon add up to the £1000 or so it is worth
