Using the whatcar price guide, both models are more expensive on the forecourt than what they value them. I know they are not very accurate, and this seems to prove it!!
My fan is constantly on at the moment. I can be running the car for a few seconds and switch the engine off and my fan is still on. Ive checked my radiator and its water level is fine. Anyone have any ideas? Read more
The temp sensor is faulty or the ecu is sending the wrong signal .
My old-fashioned camera has broken and I'm going to replace it with a digital one. From what I understand most digital cameras have some video capacity but how easy is it to transfer this to a laptop?... Read more
Look out for a camera with HD video (mine is Cannon Ixus 100 - many makes now have HD video as well now). I simply move the SD card from the camera to the PC and can view photos / videos. I also use some superb free software called DVDFlick to burn the video to DVD which downscales from 720p(1280X720) to 576p - still really good quality. Camera SD video (usually 640X480) looks poor in comparison.
Hi
My girlfriend has just received a £30 parking ticket where she lives outside her drive way. There isn't a residential parking scheme where you have a permit. If she's not working that day, she has to move her car so she doesn't get a ticket.... Read more
If he had started writing the ticket he cannot withdraw it. You are required to properly display so if it had flipped over then he has reasonable grounds to ticket you.
In turn you have reasonable grounds to challenge the ticket and if he made notes to support your case then there is a good chance that your challenge will be upheld.
You don't have to go into default. The process for challenging a ticket with the adjudicator should be fully explained to you fully in their rejection of your first appeal. If it was not please come back to me.
If you follow the procedures therein you will not be penalised if the adjudicator supports your case. You will be penalised with a higher fine (at the non-discounted rate) if you lose.
I have a citroen XM that has had the battery disconected because the indicator wouldnt turn off, and now wont accept the pass code, any ideas on how to reset it.Thanks Read more
If I recall,you need to leave the ignition on for around 15 mins then the green light should go out ,leaving red light on to allow code entry.hth

Hi there, Can anyone offer any advice how to fight a fraudulent motor insurance claim when the insurers will not?
My wife was involved in an incident whereby the car in front reversed back to allow a car to turn right across them, they almost caused an accident but my wife stopped in time. The other driver refused to get out of their car .My wife rightly checked both cars and confirmed there was no damage. She gave her details to the other driver but the other driver refused to give her details and drove off leaving my wife in the middle of the road. Two days later we get a communication from a claims handler representing the insured who advises that their car is a write off. Having already advised our insurance company we rang them to warn them this was a bogus claim. Our insurers (Direct line) own assessor noted that there was no damage to our vehicle and that he had already seen the other car and " the damage was totally inconsistent with he claim" he also offered the opinion that it looked as if they had drove into a post and missed the 1st time and scored the side of the vehicle and then tied again....

I'm just posting b/c I solved the problem. It's the membrane in the vapourizer - it has 1 year guarantee and it lasted a little bit over one year - mechanic knew but didn't want it to go under the guarantee. So you should definately check the install date in your car.

My wife wants to buy a used Smax. How much discount do you think a main dealer could offer off one worth about £18k (1yr old) ???
What should I offer to end up with this :? Read more
Can't you get an S-Max through Ford Direct ?
Have a look at what the car supermarkets are selling them for and go for a similar price for the dealre to supply from the Natonal Ford Direct database.
