As it’s a fiat radio , your best bet is E bay . Plenty of decode services available here.

I have a feeling speed traps and points on licences are more common place.

After a weekend break in Derbyshire during May I received and unwelcome piece of post. Exceeding 30 mph on a main road due to lack of concentration - camera was fixed on a pole behind me. Then having been away to Devon a couple of weeks ago I received more unwelcome post. This time caught doing 36 in a 30 limit after taking a wrong turn, from behind by a mobile/hand held camera, so that's three points and a speed awareness course - gather the latter is good....

Way back in 60's people got murdered for beeping a horn at the guy infront, unable to find first gear.

TBH, I think there are more 30 limits where at one time there weren't. Usually I drive on my own, on the tw aforementioned occasions I had passengers. In future I must concentrate more!

Hi, where do find my Engine identifier code for a combo life 1.5 diesel 2023? I got the Engine number but i am trying to find the Engine identifier code to see what the engine is in the vehicle and have it when I need parts. Read more

This is a re-baged Citroen Berlingo / Peugeot Partner so it will be the DV5 engine, derivative varies depending on power and Euro compliance spec. Parts order will be just off the reg which suppliers cross reference to the VIN.

Evening.

Firstly, I apologise if this question has already been asked. Secondly, I know very little about cars, so I apologise if this question is a stupid one.... Read more

I am a member of the Touota club forum for years, I never saw a problem eith the 1.2 turbo units, the opposite owners rev about the reliability. I hd a an Auris 1.2 as a loan car from a dealer once, it felt less snappy than the Avensis 1.8 but only marginally.

Much obliged to me learned friend.

I am a disabled lady with a 2005 Mercedes coupe that has been parked up on the road and unused since I become bedridden in November, so is a bit worse for wear.

Not what I’d buy at this money, but I get the appeal. Good luck!

My issue isn't really the reduced speed limit.

Saturday evening it was v quiet, just set cruise and sit there, mpg was excellent! However at other times the reduced capacity and subsequent queuing traffic must be costing UK PLC millions. I'm looking now and the current slow traffic queue is from junction 28 to junction 30, about 14 miles and then another 10 miles around East Midlands airport....

Curious about this junction here with the red traffic camera as you will see here on the left -

I can't see a red traffic camera in the image.

Maybe a sensor?...

Hi there. I bought a new Toyota Yaris Design in April 2024. Do you know if it is worth having it professionally ceramic coated? I was going to get it professionally polished once a year anyway. I don't know if it is worth the cost and how long it lasts for. Thanks. Read more

It seems many don't know that polish is an abrasive and wax a coating. I gave mine a good clean (you can clay-bar if you want), polish and wax some years ago and the water still beads, although it'd probaly benefit from doing the wheels again before Winter. The brake dust doesn't wash off as easily.

The hub nuts vary 30mm is a bit too big. Found that 1" 1/8" 12 point was an hammer on fit for removal and needed to be used to fit new one the old hub nut can be used as a tool to remove the old one and the old bearing shell can be used for pressing in the last few millimetres, any thing providing its larger will do for rest of way.

A kit for £30 is useful but you need to still improvise using old parts to do the job and could buy threaded bar nut washers but the saving would not be great and you could sell the kit when no longer needed. Not sure if you can reuse certain hub nut as some are not laminated and not destroyed on removal. They vary in size and a Borg and Beck laminated one was a slightly better fit on 30mm socket and was able to fit with standard 3g0mm socket but not a good fit as we used to have in the old days....

All a bit confusing. If you want quality, then go to a Ford main dealer. The prices will probably put you off , even if you actually get the parts for a car this old . Nappa are a re- boxing company. They buy In products from all over the world are put it in their own brand box .
