• Proposed 20mph urban speed limit 20 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I heard a report on radio 4 this morning of a proposal to reduce the current 30mph urban speed limit to 20mph. I think there is a case for 20mph on busy shopping high streets and urban housing estate roads. However a reduction to 20mph at all times on urban through routes is taking it too far.

• Fitting Keyless entry? 9 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Has anyone ever fitted something like this:- http://tinyurl.com/yhmw6m And if yes how easy are they to fit?

• Praise for a Renault Scenic. 25 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Shattered a few illusions, Strong 1.9 diesel, smooth and quiet thing linked to a very nice 6 speed box, nice electronic hand-brake. Seemingly as well made, good radio but a blinking fustrating heated rear window - the timer interval is unreal. Yes, I could buy one if I was in the market.
• Renault Clio - Dashboard Display 21 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  The centre dashboard display (LED?) on our Renault Clio has dimmed - the digits (time, temperature, radio station etc) can still be seen but the display is not lit and as fully visible as before.
