• Riley Lynx 12/4 1936 - Oil Filters 13 Apr 2011 (Forum)
    The oil filter system has been modified to accept a more modern filter - probably around 1970's and I think fitted to British Leyland cars of that era.  The filter I have removed is a "Halfords HOF209".  Does anyone know - is this filter still available and if so where from?

• Vauxhall "Lifetime" Warranty 31 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  The bumph in the paper said you only need to take for an annual inpection. Not true. You need to service it every year. Thats ££££s. The dealership were surprised Vauxhall came out with this. He said they are confident in the product for reliability. Every Vauxhall I've owned has been nothing but trouble and a costly one. And how long would it be to hit 100,000 miles.

    If I try to download Flash player, I can't even open ActiveX to authorise it  (what is ActiveX, by the way?). I have AVG (free) and M/S built in virus checker.  I have run c***Cleaner and Malewarebytes (both free versions) all to no effect.  Any suggestions gratefully received.
• VW Corrado - Driving without indicators 20 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  Hi - A low-life  stole my front foglights and indicators during the week and I am having problems replacing them. (VW can only supply the N/S set).   I am reduced to trawling ebay and various forums for replacements, however the question is : can I drive the car legally without the front indicators? I have googled but can't find anything conclusive.

• Cars and `standard fittings` why not? 18 May 2009 (Forum)
  Think of all those mobile phone chargers you have each with a different connector.. when the round Nokia one can just be slipped in - eyes closed. Wiper blade connectors would surely be a start.. or light bulbs perhaps? What`s your biggest gripe in this area?
• Renault Scenic (2009 - ) - HJ Road Test 19 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Does the new Scenic have a spare wheel (even just a spacesaver) or do the folding rear seats condemn it to a can of gunk and compressor like the S-Max? C4 Grand Picassos (without air suspension) manage a spare.
