I have a Volvo V70 and for no apparent reason the front and arm rest cigarette lighter sockets have stopped working. There is a Dash Cam plugged in and a spare lead for the sat Nav when required. The Boot one works fine as it is a live feed all the time. This I know because the cool box stays on with the engine off.
So far have checked out all the fuses I can find on the car.... Read more
I know I am not the OP but this forum is b***** brilliant at times.

I recently traded in my car to a dealer. My car has a private plate but I was unable to do the retention online. The dealer subsequently applied for the retention via post and I paid them the fee.
I see now that the dealer has sold my old car ( currently reserved). Are they able to do this as surely the purchaser would have to wait till the retention is done and a new V5 is issued? Read more
Chatted to the DVLA online and apparently the reason I could not do the retention online was because “the car had been untaxed for more that 160 days in the last 5 years”.
Hi there, I've just received a 2017 Citroen Berlingo Multispace, Diesel Automatic. 15k miles.
On doing a short test drive, the one thing that stood out to me were the very obvious gear shifts.... Read more
Yes thanks, a little lift off works well but trickier to time than a straight up manual.
Either that, or just accelerate reeeeally slowly (:
Hi, need some advice please :
My local garage replaced flywheel /clutch on my Golf.... Read more
As well as the offending engine mount, make sure a full cam belt kit is being fitted - There is a real danger that it will have been damaged.
Have a sudden fault with the car, Espace IV (JK) 2.0 dCi (JK03, JK04). The alarm keeps going off shortly after the lights flash and horn sounds when locking.
I also noticed that when the front nearside door or the rear offside door is opened neither courtesy light turns on. I also notice that there is no "click" and the dash coming to life when they are opened. Also, the dash information screen does not show either door as open. The temperature adjustments work and so do the electric windows. ALL the other doors are fine. All the doors lock OK and all the doors and boot open OK.
It is as if the two doors are not recognised by the car anymore.
Note if the alarm goes off then when I unlock/open the car, the car beeps 4 times.
Can anyone advise what is wrong and or what to check and how PLEASE! Read more
Thank you. Will try that.

I’m just imagining a blissful driver of a massive coach sized RV in his lazy boy chair, cruise control on, TV somewhere near the windscreen just for the driver and air con set just so, massively powered v8 or v10 petrol or diesel engine humming away in the background as it lopes serenely through the Florida panhandle. Meanwhile, the little jeep strapped up behind is revving its nuts off probably showering the cars behind in debris, dont know why but that image just makes me LOL!
