• OBDII Bluetooth Scan Tools 25 Nov 2019 (Forum)
  I would rather not go down the route of a separate gauge glued to the dash and all the associated wiring that entails. I have seen android apps that can be set to alert you if it goes over a certain temp, but i’m on IOS. If it’s reading too high i will probably buy a lower thermostat from an earlier iteration of the v8, but seeing as it is a Jap import it may already have the lower temp thermostat fitted from factory..
• Anyone local to Cardiff? 4 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  If so can they let me know why the Cardiff Gate roundabout (the one you enter after leaving Asda at Pontprennau (sp)) to get to the A48 or M4 has no streetlights? It's a 50 limit on the dual carriageway and there is no lighting on the roundabout or on the approach.

• Peugeot 206 - Car accident - No other parties involved 5 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  The only damage was my car (which is a write off) and a fence post (which took most of the force) & farm gate. No other people or cars were involved. After the accident, I got out and spoke with the lady who owned the gate and agreed to get it sorted ASAP as she needed it for the weekend. The car has gone to a scrap yard and the parts for the damaged fence are payed for and awaiting installation which will be done on Saturday.

• VW Golf Mk8 - CarPlay: Golf mk8 and iPhone 7 27 Apr 2025 (Forum)
  We just bought a 2hnd 2021 VW Golf, Gill's first car in a decade. It has Apple CarPlay, which neither of us has used before. Gill has a well-used iPhone 7 on iOS 15.1. She wants to use CarPlay to play music from her phone, but so far no joy. The car and the phone see each other via wi-fi but CarPlay doesn't recognize the iPhone as a device it can access.

  The Chinese company has refused to commit to a long-term contract with the site's owners, property firm St Modwen and will only agree to extending its current contract, which runs out on February 22, for six months. A spokesman for St Modwen told the IoS that Nanjing wants more time to draw up its business plan for sports car production with the GB Sports Car Co before it signs. It wants GB SSC to buy a majority stake in the joint venture and to put up the bulk of the £100m it needs to restart production of MG vehicles.
