• Is CB Radio still being used? 4 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  Must be years since I last saw a car equipped with CB Radio, in any country, not just the UK. Which leads me to wonder... Will it ever be as popular as it was in the 80s? Are CB and ham radios covered by the same legislation as mobile phones?
• Peugeot 207 (2006 - ) - servicing requirements petrol engines 7 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  I notice that the service interval for these cars is 2 years/20,000 miles. As I would only cover 12,000 in two years does this really mean the oil would not be changed for 2 years? Seems like a long time to me. culmhead
• Beware - icy roads 7 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  I guess people on the BR are more aware than most, but the temperature's dropped below freezing tonight and it seems to have caught out the local authorities. Major A-roads around Oxford are un-gritted and covered in ice, and I've already seen one car in a ditch this evening while on a midnight ride. That is all.
• Volkswagen - Golf Mk3 Power Steering Noise 5 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  My Golf has started making a growling noise when initially used. It occurs when the steering is around the centre position. The car has covered 140k miles. I've checked the belts, hoses etc and bled the system to no avail. Grateful your views Cheers
• New Brake discs after 11000 miles ? 6 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Just been told by official Suzuki dealer that I need new brake discs -covered by warranty- on my Ignis sport (car bought from new, 2 yrs old, 11000 miles). How is that possible (aren't discs supposed to last a lot longer ?)
• Peugeot 306 stolen keys 25 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  My Son has just had the keys of his 1999 306 stolen, unfortunately with his wallet which had his address. He is worried that the car may be stolen from outside the house. Does anybody have an idea of cost of replacing locks, plipper and immobiliser transducer? The house insurance will not cover it.

• Jump starting 19 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  I think this may have been covered before, but can anyone advise me of the dangers of using jump leads and ECUs. I recently used a Micra to jump start another car and it later refused to start, and now runs badly. What could be the likely trouble?
• B%^&#$d martins! 11 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Those flying birds who wish to build nests. A pair have decided to make my eaves their southern base, and the car gets covered with a saliva/dirt mix. I'd hate to progress to the fledgeling dump stage. Any idea how to dissuade the little critters?
• Anti-Gatso Ploy.. 21 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Followed a Focus home from work today - the back of the car was completely covered with black dirt, absolutely no sign of the number plate lettering. The driver would probably have been able to explain to the police, if stopped, that 'it was clean when I started out, officer', - except that the light clusters were beautifully clean...
• Double mirrors on panel vans 7 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Before I put a second mirror to cover the blind spot, I occassionally found problems with cars concealed there. Now I never get caught out when going to overtake another vehicle as it is obvious. I am not sure why more panel vans and artics do not do the same.

  I am currently looking to take some legal action if someone thinks i would have a good case as i am fed up having the car in and out of the garage at my expense.

  Should I opt for a manufacturer's expensive extended warranty? 22 Apr 2020 (Ask HJ)
  My Audi A3 is coming up to three years old. I'm being offered Audi's extended warranty for £446 for one year - which seems a bit steep. Any advice?
• Mobility scheme cars. Do the sums add up? 11 Jul 2017 (Forum)
  Ten years ago I bought a three year old ex mobility car for around 25 to 30% of the new list price. During its time on the scheme the previous user handed over their benefit payment to have use of the car. This monthly payment also covered tax, insurance, servicing and even tyres!
