• Chevrolet Lacetti - Tizzing gearstick 3 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  Any idea how to sort this out? It's really annoying and is sometimes loud enough to drown out the radio and engine!
• Ford Focus Saloon 1.8 - Ford Focus 1.8 Speedo keeps stopping 24 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  I bought the car 6 weeks ago and noticed this problem straight away, although it is irritating I live with it, last week the car did its usual thing of speedo, odometer and radio losing power and engine cutting out when slowing down, when the engine kicked back in, there was a loud rumbling noise coming from the engine and also fuel consumption has doubled, i'm getting around 100 miles for £30.
• No front number plate 6 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  A relative who works in the BBC buildings (not for the BBC) often admires a stunning new Ferrari 599 GTO parked in isolation near the goods despatch area. It belongs to a well known tv and radio presenter, who owns several classic Ferraris (you probably know who this is). It was only after about the fifth time of admiring the car that he realised it has no front-number plate, only the rear (personalised) one.
• Toyota Avensis 1.8 auto 2003 - Remote central locking 13 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  The following failed simultaneously: Remote central locking, interior lights, radio. satnav screen,"lights on" warning bleeps - ALL FAIL. Also the trip meter readings revert to zero when engine switched off. I have removed and re-inserted the black box integration relay and PROBLEM REMAINS.
• How To get a cheap new motor & go green 13 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  I feel it's not in the interest of motor manufacturers! Imagine a Ford Ka or similar but no: PAS. Anti lock brakes. Elec windows Radio Central locking Rear seats Reduce ir bags carpets and rear ad rear side windows made out of plastic. This would cut the cost of the car, make it lighter, thus more mpg, less ivsurance, poss less road tax, less to go wrong - so why do the major manfactueres do not do this as some pple just ant a reliable, trouble free, cheap car?
• Citroen Xsara Picasso (2000 - 2010) - 06 1.6 strange dashboard hum/buzz 12 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  I recently picked up a 55 reg Picasso and have noticed an odd buzz that sounds either electrical or like a small fan. It is coming from the small (10p coin sized) vent on the passenger side between the radio and glovebox. It's nearly always present but I have no idea what it is, or whether it could be something about to fail, but it's definitely not dodgy trim or rattle. It's the exclusive model with digital climate control and the ventilated glovebox - could it be anything to do with this?
• Toyota Corolla and Verso (2002 - 2007) - Problem fixed - saved £400! 18 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  "Ah, yes, that will be the release fork sir, gearbox out, lubricate, 3 or 4 hours labour but no charge for the grease!" I said "in that case I'll just turn the radio up" and went straight to my trusty independent, who cured the squeak by peeling back the gaiter and carefully applying spray grease to the pivot, 2 minutes, no charge!
• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 1999 1.8 warning lights/ electrical fault 20 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  Alternator fine, battery a bit low, so changed that. No difference. Lights still on and now the radio/CD is in 'safe' mode. I am loathe to go to the Vauxhall garage to sort this. Can anyone shed any light for me please? I am trying not to be a typical female driver lol ;-)
• You and yours 26 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  On the BBC radio 4 yesterday the YOU and yours program was all about motor cars and some parts were quite intersesting until they interviewed a numpty who owned a service repair garage (with more eqipment in it than a NASA space station) who went onto say such things that you cannot renew brake pads without a computer and if you were to put the wrong oil in a car then you would totally trash the engine his main jist was that only he could repair or service cars and anybody who did any form of home service was a potetial murderer.Remind me to stay away from his garage.

• window etching detail insurance 29 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  I recently received a letter from a company which claim to hold records of the code etched on my car windows, as well as the radio code and ignition key number. The vehicle in question was recently bought by myself (2nd. hand),and these details were probably given to them by the previous owner. They are asking for a one-off payment of £20 to re-register the information in my name.

• Pug 206 CC - High pitched noise 19 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  The noise is quite loud and goes after a while when the key is removed from the ignition. Turning radio on or off has no effect. Are there any 206 owners out there who have experienced similar problems? Is it just a simple case of replacing movement sensors? Thanks S.
• Citroen C3 1.4 Petrol 23 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  The instrument lights were permanently on (even after locking the car) the speedometer would not work, the fuel gauge showed empty and had only done 90 miles on a full tank. The radio has gone haywire, indicators would not work, odometer would not work, air bag light and headlight indicator on. I disconnected the battery and waited a few minutes to allow the computer to reset. Connected the battery back up and it seems to have cured the problem.
