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.

Hi. I have a '97 Grand Voyager which has developed an immobiliser problem and I've discovered how unhelpful, even obstructive, Chrysler main dealers can be.
I've had a few occasions when the immobliser kicked in but it seemed to self correct after being left. ... Read more

Apparently there has been a five-fold increase in the number of parking tickets handed out since 2001. A lot of this is because of CCTV use. The number of people successfully contesting them has risen considerably too.
I have never had a ticket; I always look for somewhere sensible to park and I don't mind walking from a car park f***her away. I have also never seen a traffic warden in Preston but I bet they exist!... Read more
