• Corrado VR6 Electrical Problem 30 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Hi- Car just had annual service.On returning home I noticed that when I use the footbrake the N/S front sidelight comes on with the brakelights. Anyone know what could be causing this and could it be as a result of the service? Coincidentaly the annual service is usually followed by an expensive period where previously unknown faults manifest themselves.

• Monaco Grand Prix 26 May 2004 (Forum)
  Today's GP was rather more interesting than others of late, possibly because Mr S......... didn't lead from start to finish. Did any one else find it ironic that the cars, which in road use are reckoned to be extremely reliable, ie Toyota and Honda, blow up regularly; while the Renault which for normal motoring does not have a good reputation for reliability (Sorry RF) just keeps going!

• Customer Service. 11 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Mrs PU is still pursuing the Motorcycle bug. She wanted a helemet. Whilst we were up in Cheshire this weekend we visited J&S Motorcycles at Northwich. Superb Customer Service. Young chap approached her as she gazed at the Shoei display. He then spent a good twenty minutes until they found what would suit. Nothing was too much trouble, including searching for the "right" colour through dozens of boxes.
