  Doors: The passenger door on my Peugeot 1007 won't open automatically and needs to be manually opened. The contacts have been sprayed with WD40 but to no avail. There is no problem with the driver's door which works fine. Seatbelts: An over-enthusiastic puppy has chewed the rear seatbelts

  The electronic parking brake on my 2008 2ltr diesel model has developed a fault. The automatic release facility no longer works, so I have to use manual release by depressing the foot brake, this is tricky when on a slope. I have been told by my independent Audi garage that the clutch cylinder
• Manual electrics 4 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  With my motoring being largely confined to short suburban runs, I feel it's time to join the electric revolution.  However, I've always driven a manual and want to stay with a stick shift. The fuel savings versus automatic are particularly appreciated when I have the horse box in tow
• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol - Fuel filling problem 14 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  My girlfriend drives a Vauxhall Astra V reg and she has had this problem since she had the car. If the tank is filled up, the garage pump doesn't automatically stop when the tank is full, instead floods the forecourt. Does anyone have an idea as to what the cause could be? I'm suspecting

• Electric parking brakes and the driving test 3 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I'm sure I have read somewhere that an 'L' driver cannot take the DSA driving test in a car fitted with an 'automatic release' electric parking brake (eg some Renaults, Citroens, etc) because of the way in which these brakes simplify a hill start. You just press the pedal and go. I can find

• Vauxhall Astra H (2004 - 2009) - Is buying a Vauxhall risky? 23 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Given the state of GM's finances, would buying a Vauxhall be a risk in any sense (e.g parts, re-sale etc etc)? I'm thinking about switching from my Saab 9-3 diesel (1.9 Tid 120) to an Astra 1.8 VVT Automatic, but I wondered whether sticking with a GM brand is a safe bet? Incidentally, any
• Cost of Metallic Paint 28 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  Does anyone know the true cost of Metalic paint and why car makers charge so much extra for it? Im looking at possibly changing the Jag for a BMW 5 series and on the American BMW website the amount you get included at 'no cost' is quite surprising. No cost options for automatic transmission
