My 6 CD changer/radio won't eject the 6 cds within it. It is giving me the message "no cds" even though there are 6 inside Read more
VW Passat has been awarded COTY 2015. Do not know what else to say except I think they are accepting mediocrity. Read more

Look on Youtube.
People there have put in variable resistors in place of the sensors to make the ECU always think the DPF is free....
Hi folks,
I'm soon to be in the market to upgrade our 2007 Ford Fiesta - never missed a beat, just need more space to accomodate child - and its the Hyundai ix35 thats catching my eye.... Read more
Hello vale46: surely you prefer the YZR-M1 over both the Nissan and Hyundai ? Especially as your battle with Marquez and his Honda are going so well at the moment.
Good Luck in Argentina this weekend :-)
Shouldn't someone have started a thread complaining about last nights Top Gear yet? ;-)
Personally I quite enjoyed the obviously fake 'stranding' of Richard, and watching the enormous pickups powering through the snow. Read more
It's my quick wit which makes me so irrestible to women.

Hi All
I've been looking at buying an old Mazda 3 (04 - 07) but am rapidly going off the idea due to the frequency of rust issues. eg. Went to see a "mint" 55k 04 Sport only to find it had just been sent to the bodyshop for new wings.... Read more
We've had 3 Mk1, 4 Mk2 and 1 Mk3 so far and the Mk1 was recalled for underseal issues in the rear wheelarches (55plate) The 58plate Mk1 did have a wiper motor recall. The Mk2 seemed better & no recalls - did get into the habit of throroughly cleaning the rear arches though and the liner which felt like carpet tile did need a good clean after the winter and it rested on the wheel arch ledge and trapped the winter salt. Mazda still have a ledge where the wingmetal is bent in - some cars done away with this salt trap.
After the first underside clean on a Peugeot, the amount of crap on the drive after the deep clean meant every car since has an annual rinsing so havent found rust on the 3's BUT they were sold at 3-4yr old so cant vouch for a 10yo version
Can anyone help?
My car isnt running too good, when driving the car seems to hesitate when hot, its as if its about to stall or out of fuel, then it clears and drives ok. I dont want to take things apart if its just an adjustment somewhere, can anyone advise me on what it might be.... Read more
Yes, I know what you mean. I've got a cupboard full of all that stuff, Gas Analyser, Colourtune, Dwell Meter, Compression Tester, Stroboscope, Vacuum Gauge, etc.
I don't suppose they'll ever be used again but I can't bear to dispose of them. All part of my motoring heritage, I guess you could say!...
Hi All
Last week i applied to put my Number plates on retention due to buying a 1 year old car.... Read more
The DVLA need to provide you with the reg number, you need it to get plates made. Without them you cannot legally use the car on the road even if it is taxed.
that way i wont have to wait 6 weeks for the refund...
Absolutely gorgeous vehicle. Read more

The sooner car co's start fitting All Season tyres as standard instead of the eco nonsense the better.


Not a lot you can do with these.You could try disconnecting the battery for 5 mins.If that does not work,bin it and get a s/hand unit from a breakers or glee-bay.Preferably a single play cd unit which are much more reliable.
