I recently got my rear disc and pads changed. Sometimes when Im turning a corne and apply the brake pedal slightly a loud kind of squeal comes from the rear. It can also get worse when driving for a while and when operating the brake when driving in a straight line. Any ideas what could be causing this? Read more

Similar to the post by 'allandy ' posted on Wed 16 Jun 2010 15:45, however, when visiting the dvla, they advised me that they have no records of any issues and got me to fill out an application to have my licence changed from the paper one to the current format. I still however, was giving 3 points when stopped by the officer the night before who advised me that it was revoked in 1999! please could you advise- i would be most grateful. Read more
thanks for your help.
to answer your question, the 2002 FPN was for 3 points and I have asked the same questions since no issues of licence being revoked was mentioned. I have also been stopped a couple of times between then and now, for example break light not working but again no mention of issues of licence.

just trying to find a bus to gatwick from west wales for us going out to see family in the middle east.
First of all, no viable services when we want to travel, so would have to travel 1 day early and get hotel at Gatwick, the returning, 6 hour wait for morning bus then change twice both ways, making it a horrible experience. Coach costs for 2 = £140 + hotel £80 at Gatwick + extra food costs! plus taxi to carmarthen bus station.... Read more
The viability of using a car for the airport run depends on a lot of factors, and particularly on the number of passengers carried in the car.
Exactly! We are travelling to Lisbon from here and No flights from wales unless we want to pay several hundred quid more than easyjet, parking same price, but travel time with flight changes is utterly stupid from cardiff on return journey 17 hours! flights vary between £300 and £1300 EACH from cardiff and are £57 from luton.

Hi,
I'm looking into upgrading my father-in-law's 2004 Toyota Avensis D4D 2.0 Estate with a bluetooth handsfree kit. Is there a genuine plug-in module or an after market kit anyone can recommend and has anybody got any fitting tips?... Read more
One of the Parott systems. If the existing in-car HiFi system has DIN connectors (ir probably does), fitting is a doddle. If not, adaptor "Y" leads are available for most vehicles.
I fitted a Parott 3200LS to the wife's Zafira. Box 'O tricks ziplocked to a mount underneath the glovebox and tapped into the stereo connectors with an adaptor lead. Main lead through dash to head unit, mike run up behind passenger door seal and behind headlining to mirror. The end result feels way more "integrated" than the built-in products in many cars....

These companies will send you loads of carp through the post before finnally giving-up. They buy your info for a small fee from DVLA.
I am leading a campaign to stop DVLA from being able to sell your info to private companies without first obtaining your written permission. As part of the campaign, there is an e-petition HERE. Please feel free to pass it on....
Hi all, I was wondering if anybody could help me as I am about to lose my marbles over this car.
Its a 1.2 2002 clio with nearly 80k on the clock. I bought it second hand from a car dealer 12 months ago. When I purchased it the orange airbag light was illuminated after a few days, as it was under warranty I took it back to the garage and after EIGHT revisits to them the problem was eventually solved....

sorry i forgot to mention, the key fob battery has been replaced (to no improvement) and I experience exactly the same problems using the spare key
Hello each, not really a new thread, but in case anyone missed the update on the previous thread. A Blog has been set up to explain the situation about the new proposed legislation about private parking companies. Simply Google 'parkinginjustice.wordpress.com' and it should come up. The Blog has a link to the E Petition set up by JamesEB too and a letter template for those who wish to use it. Let us keep the ball rolling. Cheers Concrete Read more
