I have tried various windscreen washes over the years and never found anything effective. I have now discovered Autoglym Car Screen Polish. It is quick and easy to use. No more streaks - the rain and dirt float off. It is not expensive either - £5 currently buys a decent sized bottle. I keep it in the car so that I can clean the screen at any time without needing water and washleather. Fantastic product. Read more
My 2003 diesel car lost power on the motorway. Engine was still running. After stopping on the hard shoulder for a few moments the car started ok. This has happened twice now in the last month. It had a full service and cam belt change December 2009. Does anyone know what this could be? Read more

Hi. What is the law on 3.5t and 7.5t gross box vehicles,in relation to motorway third lane use.
, for example :
The right-hand lane of a motorway with three or more lanes MUST NOT be used (except in prescribed circumstances) if you are driving
* a goods vehicle with a maximum laden weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes but not exceeding 7.5 tonnes, which is required to be fitted with a speed limiter
* a goods vehicle with a maximum laden weight exceeding 7.5 tonnes
Does this mean that a fully laden 3.5t box vehicle,weighing exactly 3.5t or under ,can use the third lane.
And that a fully laden 7.5t box vehicle weighing exactly 7.5t or under can use the third lane,if they are not speed limted. Read more

Hi I have a nissan almera 2003 N16 and the remote central locking fob is inop ( very common problem ) was just wondering if anyone knew how i would tell if another was compatable to be programmed to my vehicle? It has 6A-326 stamped on it. Ebay seems to be the only place to get ahold of one cheap but i would need to know what would be compatable? maybe a 4A would work? Thanks. Read more
Hi , i have a 95 pug 405 1.9td estate that has been making a sort of howl noise that gets higher in pitch as the engine revs become higher, the noise starts at 2,000 rpm onwards, i believe it may be a loose of broken hose somewhere along the system although my local mechanic has said he has checked it all, but i dont believe him, could it possibly be a turbo problem instead although i can hear it whistle up, hope someone can help thanks in advance Read more
That would do it!
I took my car to a garage I've been using for many years for a standard MOT. On the whole I am happy with the service they provide and have not had any complaints. Today, I went to collect my car and paid almost £400 for work completed mainly on the exhaust. When I got into my car, I noticed a large crack on the driver side of the windscreen which was certainly not there when I took my car in originally. I went and alerted the receptionist in the office who sent out a mechanic to have a look. He denied knowledge of the crack in the windscreen and said that the MOT would not have been passed if they'd seen it and that it must have happened while it was sitting on the forecourt awaiting collection.
Cracks in the windscreen do not just suddenly materialise and I am certain something was dropped on it. He told me that I should check my insurance to see if I have windscreen cover/ excess. I assumed that seeing as the crack occurred on his premises, while the car was in his care, he would just replace it especially as I had just forked out almost £400 for the MOT.... Read more
Thank you all for your advice. The situation has now been resolved as they accepted liability and replaced the windscreen free of charge.
The passenger window on my Premacy does not work. One day it just packed up. I have read the advice on resetting the windows in other posts but that does not work for me. Got it checked out at my garage and they said that there was still power going to the window and that replacing the switch/button box on the drivers side may resolve the problem. Thats great but none of the breakers that i have contaced from Rochdale to Redruth have this part and the parts departmen at the dealers want £100. I dont want to pay a ton for something which may or may not resolve the problem. Any advice, tips or guidence will be greatly appreciated. Read more

Hi , I'd really appreciate any advice or anyone elses experience on this. I 've been having to top up my coolant level every few days so I assume I have a leak somewhere. In the past on older cars I have used Radweld as a temporary measure. I was just wondering if anyone else has used this product on a 206 HDI and was it ok? Unfortunately i can't afford to get it checked out til the end of the month til I get paid. Read more

Lidl's version a capful of which added to your washer bottle works wonders too and about a 5th of the price.
