Hi all,

I received an NIP to which I responded by sending off the relevant documenation and obtained a Certificate of Posting when I sent it.
I have been summoned to Court for failure to provide the information so presumably the envelope has not arrived. What should I do now?... Read more
Remember that this date is to lay information before the court. It may be another 4 to 6 weeks or even more before they send the summons to you. Pete D

How would you do a credit check on a private individual ?
I have just had the Doblo washed but there remains a finger print/ hand print mark on the shiny black bits around the window. Just had a rub with some de-greaser and lots of elbow grease but it doesn't want to come off! Any advice anyone? Read more
I found that Armorall washed off too easy. Used to use it on a car Vinyl roof. Boot polish worked better on that roof.

The service light on the dash has started blinking "Sevice immediately" after several weeks of reminders. The warning comes on when I start the car. It would be the 12000km minor service (oil, filter etc). Is this a warning that needs to be heeded immediately - as in do I need to get it to a garage today or tomorrow - or can the service wait for a couple of weeks when I have a bit more time ? I do a 10km commute every day to/from work along a dual carriageway. The car is the 1.6 TDI (diesel), June 2009.
Thanks in advance! Read more
You assume the car is still under warranty because of its age, but not if it has done more than 60K miles.
If you have the model with the Multi-function computer you can interrogate the service interval mileage count down....
Good morning, I own a Ford Focus 1.8lt diesel Mk1 estate and I am going to install a split relay system that I have bought so that I can charge my leisure battey.
I need help on finding the starter motor so that I can connect my negative wire to it, (instructions say "connect to small wire on starter motor, this is a earth when not cranking).
Also I need to find "Ignition Positive (ON)"
and where is a good earth for my leasure battery (installed at the back of my estate car?).
Thankyou, regards Joe

What type of split charge relay have you bought?It doesn't sound very special to me.From the instructions ,it appears to be no more than a 4 pin regular relay.hth

LOL so peeps how would you wire it up ?? HELP ME PLZ Read more
This wire needs to be live with ignition on.Possible connection points are in the engine bay fuse box,but you will need a test light to verify the power with key on.hth
Those who read this column regularly will know I'm trying to find a car to accomodate 3 children in the back without paying the earth, and without saying goodbye to the pleasure of driving and economy. I've never owned a Hyundai, but I like the look of the ix35, the reviews and the fact I can get 3 kids in the back. I'd buy one now, but for the drive, which reminds me of acquaplaning in a 205. Any views? Read more
That's a modern Hyundai trait - the OH's i30 is very light to drive, and initally I feel like I'm driving on ballbearings. After an hour it's fine. Then I get back in to my Mondeo (2005, 80k) and it feels like driving a tank - heavy pedals, slow steering. Both handle pretty well, it's just adjusting to the different driving characteristics.
I travel to France quite often so use stick-on headlamp beam converters.
I have not found any that really work - the last one I tried was from Halfords - a lot cheaper than from BMW. The instructions for fitting however were very vague.... Read more
