• Volkswagen - Dsg gearboxes 2 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  Also, is there some sense in reverse and second gear being on the same shaft and when coming to a stop if the car is not brought to stationary stop rather than coast the dsg is confused I.e will the driver slow down or will he/she want to reverse??? As for the mechatronic unit, well, the car must be purchased with a decent warranty that covers this.
• Reanault Megane Scenic II - Keyless entry for my Megane Scenic (54 Plate) 6 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  Morning Everyone, My car was covered in ice this morning, and to my horror I couldn't unlock my car with the electronic key. It was dead, I couldn't unlock the boot either. I tried warm water to remove the ice (thinking the sensor might be covered - clutching at straws) but it wouldn't work.

• Honda Civic UK (1995 - 2000) - 1996 Concealed Rusting Brakepipes (& Rover 400) 17 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  A word of warning for anyone with a 5-door Civic and I'm fairly sure this will also apply to the later model, 95 onwards Rover 400. I suffered a brake failure this morning due to a rusting brake pipe blowing. The car passed its MOT last year without them being mentioned. A post mortem at the garage revealed that where the rear brake pipes run under the car they are covered by a plastic casing which renders them all but invisible.

• Snow - how lazy can you get? 20 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Had an inch or so of horrible wet snow last night, then skies cleared so it froze to windscreen etc. Took a while to clear from mine and SWMBo's cars this morning but was amazed how many people were driving with obscured rear screens and even some with only a small aperture cleared on windscreen. What took the biscuit however was that I followed a car a few miles tonight, 20 hours after snow had stopped falling, whose rear screen was still completely covered in snow.
