  I ordered an ex demo stereo head unit (an Alpine) for mk4 mondeo. On the above co. website it said it was compaitable with my car and gave a lead number. I ordered both- on plugging it in nothing- no power. So I took it back. The unit was OK as it worked in the shop. The guys there said
• Skoda wait times ? 13 Mar 2023 (Forum)
  Doesn’t anyone happen to know the current lead times for a Skoda Octavia? My neighbour visited 2 dealerships yesterday and neither were able to confirm a lead time regardless of what version they ordered (they want a petrol engine non VRS hatchback/saloon version if that helps). Thanks
• Honest John’s Motoring Agony Column 03-02-2018 Part 2 9 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  A tin box with a lid will act to shield the signal contrary to HJ's opinion. The reference to a lead lining is also misleading. Lead is used to provide shielding from nuclear radiation and is not necessary here.

• Audi A6 + RS6 (1997 - 2004) - HT Leads - replacement time? [as plugs, cambelt?] 3 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  How long do HT leads last? I had a bit of hesitant starting 5,000 miles ago [1998 Audi A6 2.8, now 98,000] but all is OK now, so thought it might have been a tankful of dodgy fuel. I bought it at 77,000 with FSH so I am fairly certain they are original. Is there not an argument for routine
