Would it be possible to make the data searchable by different category eg: 4X4 cars or automatics?
This would make it a very powerful tool for comparing similar vehicles or characteristics.... Read more

I have received a recall notice from Toyota concerning problems regarding Tow-Bar fittings, Seemingly the ball joint can crack causing failure. I called local Toyota dealer to inform them that my car has and never has had a Tow-Bar fitted and can they complete the paperwork accordingly so that VOSA can update their database. I was informed that this could not be done and that they must inspect the vehicle which seemingly takes around 1 hour.
Is there another problem that they are not informing us of and they need to check out ? Read more

My check engine light came on and started flashing when I went over 30 mph. I checked the fault code and it was P0301 (misfire cylinder 1) I changed the spark plugs but no joy. So I took the coil pack from my friends astra (same model) and the check engine light was still on but it no longer flashes when I speed up and it sounds a lot healthier and the car wasn't vibrating as much. But since the engine light is still on and the fault code is still showing is there another problem or is it a case of it needing reset.

Having a read of the paper today - they had a selection of 'unpublished' letters. This one seemed apt:
"SIR – With reference to your correspondent’s inquiry, I have always understood that vehicles with darkened windows were driven by people with ugly children.... Read more
What's wrong with private reg plates ?
Given that people exercise choice and buy a specific car that appeals to them ,why not buy a number plate that makes thier car stand out from the mass of other cars that are similar .
Buying a private number is the same as buying a mondeo instead of an insignia .
It's all about exercising choice and individuality .
I am buying a used Nissan micra 09 plate 1.5 diesel. It currently does not have bluetooth installed. However, i was wondering if nissan would be able to install it for me as an extra? My friend has bluetooth installed into the radio system, would this be possible to have installed into my car? Ideally i would like this. Or will i have to buy a gadget such as a satnav with bluetooth facility separately from somewhere like halfords? Help! Read more
Dads 57 plated K12 1.2 Acenta has Bluetooth as standard. Maybe a better radio is all you need, should be plenty at scrappers or on e-bay. You would probably need the steering wheel since the controls are on there.

My car insurer requires proof of all convictions, etc. over the last five years to renew my cover. I have only ever committed one offence, this being an SP50 on a motorway in early December 2006., with the SP50 therefore expiring in January 2010. The problerm is that I renewed my licence in May 2011 and so the offence does not appear on the paper section, while DVLA records of such offences are apparently deleted after four years (in my case, in January 2011). I am therefore unable to prove that the date of the SP50 lies ouside the insurer's five year window. Does anyone have any advice? Many thanks!
Another dangerous link - perhaps Moderators could get this "contributor" checked out ?
Don't open the link whatever you do !
This is an interesting issue. I guess this issue has its positive and negative side. And it
needs further study to come up with a good idea on how to resolve it.
