In answer to Pete's question some years ago regarding the Airjack2000 which neatly and safely lifts any car of the ground for wheel changing, (as seen on BBC tomorrows world and best inventions - winners of both). We are pleased to announe that the new and revised version of Airjack is now ready for the market. Its looks fab and now acts as a five in one, (lifting the car electronically via the cigaette lighter, inflating the tire,measuring air device,remote controlled with safey warning device). Airjack 2000 can be changed on soft surfaces as well as hard surfaces and can be placed anywhere along the shil of the car. We are now seeking interested investors to come on board to put this long awaited item on the road Read more

Does the Mintex name have any worth these days.
I have seen some shocking drivers going around with lots of snow on their cars. Not a thought for what can happen.
I recently gave my car in to a New Halford Autocentre as they were offering half price servicing as an opening offer

Hi,
I was lucky enough to get a parking ticket last week at about 21.10pm which stated that I had 'parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath or any part of a road other than a carriageway'. ... Read more
Cannot see your picture. Best solution would probably be to host it on Picassa, photbucket or similar and post here as a tinyurl.
Please could anyone tell me what a paintwork inspection (rust keeps coming through my car from 6 months old) and can anyone inspect the paintwork , or are certain qualifications held by the person inspsecting?

Despite all the articles about poor VAG reliability (1 in 27 audi engines fail according to Warranty Direct) they still get 4+ stars in every car review I read. Makes me wonder about the quality of car journalism these days, seems to be superficial at best. Read more
I was and to an extent still am a VW fan having had everything from Beetles in the 70's through Golf's to a Tiguan in 2008, together with some of the (better?) Audi's such as 80 and 90 models, but quality has been sacrificed for price, weight and fuel economy. If I recall correctly a friend, well known in specialist and older VW circles; made a comment some time ago stating that VW's produced since 1988 were not of the same quaility as previous models. To be honest these are my words not my friends (!), but while I personally think the Mk IV Golfs, Bora's and Passats from the 2000's may not be the cheapest to run and like any older cars they do require enhanced maintenance, the numbers on the road do give an indication of build quality and reliability. That said I do not believe modern EU performance and emission strangled cars whether VW, Audi or other makes will outlast the earlier cars, but of course we are heading for the US based "throw away" economy so loved by certain Polititians with vested financial and business interests.
Is this sticker available in Polish,Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian, Czech, Spanish and Portugese? Or Just English? Unless it is, it's of limited use because a lot of Johnny Foreigner lorry drivers no reada da English. Read more
Wouldnt it be a good health and safety coup if the car manufacturers or dealers put this in the boot with the space saver wheels before joe public got the cars . With all the H&S legislation flying about Britain and the EU at the moment it wont be long before something like this will become law anyway.
Statistics of reported road collisions. Far too many collisions...

This is true. The fire brigade use inflatable jacks-they aren't useless.They are also good for (BL!) cars with rotten sills that could be damaged by a conventional jack....
