I have bought 2 multi accessory adapters to plug into the accessory power socket (cigarette lighter socket in old money) and both have failed. Fuses have not blown but the accessory adapter no longer works. What is the problem? Read more
You need to verify if there is power and earth to the socket.Use a test light or voltmeter.Check this first.hth
This has got to be fake....or very, very fishy...right?

Thanks, GB - I mightn't have seen that.
Hope you don't mind, Bobbin - just to be on the safe side.
Pop-ups irritate me too, but as Jamie implies adverts are the price we have to pay for keeping the forum going. I suspect not many of us would come on here if we had to pay!
I use Google Chrome to access this forum - mainly because the Great God Microsoft won't let me post anything via Internet Explorer - but since moving to GC I haven't had any pop-ups. There are also pop-up blockers that you can download....
Whoops.
I seem to have cracked the rear window in a mates MX5. Must have done it when I dropped the top on Thursday.... Read more
Thank you!
I have a ford mondeo 2005 2.2tdci
When I lock the car three of the doors are locked but one door is not lock (the rear right passenger door) I have tried it also to lock manually with the key but has no effect still the same problem. Do you know what the problem is and how fix it.... Read more
Check the cabling at the door pillar hinge. Regards Peter
With a recent thread about the merit (or lack thereof) of automatic stop/start, I decided to run a manual version to see if it made a significant financial difference. I think it might have-a very negative one.
My Tom tom has suddenly stopped charging. Upon closer inspection, the fuse in the charging cable had blown-as has the fuse in the 12V socket. Then I saw the label on the cable which said "ensure engine is started before plugging in device". Doh.... Read more
Ooo, a "Dynastart".
How quaint. My father's 1929 Riley has one....
Which car insurance companies have a policy which includes contineous continental motoring for a minimum of 180 days as standard ? I am aware of Saga and Ageco.uk.
Any others ? Read more
NFU!! and you don't have to be a farmer.
They've altered the gearing on the 2012my Juke and the results are amazing. I was lucky emough to get an offer to swop my 2011 model for a new one for the princely sum of £150.
I do the same journey (Blackpool to Bristol) every week, and in 13k miles the old Juke consistantly averaged 47-48mpg. On the same trip, I've just seen 61.8mpg in the 2012 car. Performance doesn't seem to have suffered and the new car seems much quieter. Nissan should be singing from the roof tops about this! Read more
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, But for practicality i.e. the ability to carry anything of a size the Juke is useless. A perfect demonstration of form over function.
i paid £1300 deposit on a car today, didnt check the order of dates and found that the mileage is 58000 oct2011 and 57400 march2012 when i did the HPI now.
can i get a refund on my visa debit card used. the car dealer is unlikely to refund, and I am not sure whether the dates were in that order when i checked the mot when i was there, none of the documents are with me, i have the rest of £13300 left to pay on the car, should i abort and cut my loses as it is obviously a clocked car?
please help Read more
Totally agree with VR6. My partner paid for an airfare with a Visa Debit card and got her money back after a long drawn out fight and a warning shot to Visa from the FSA. As he says the magic word is chargeback. Stick with it and you will win, in the fullness of time!
