  Daughter was told that the DAB radio function (missing on some models in the past year or so) and a dab pliug in kit on the windscreen provided instead, had been fixed and new models should arrive fully equipped. So went to order one with the proviso that would check the car before completing purchase and would then pay balance r if not wnated return of deposit.
• Seat Ateca 2019 - Lost AM and FM bands from infotainment system 6 Jan 2023 (Forum)
  The radio in my 19 plate Ateca SE Tech. has developed a strange fault: AM and FM bands are completely silent. With volume turned up, not even a hiss or crackle of static; nothing but silence when presets are selected or while manual tuning.

• BMW - Not giving way 9 Apr 2020 (Forum)
     But just to play devils advocate, I wonder how much more he might have noticed if he had not been listening to the radio, and had it so high, is it possible he would have heard the car and at the very least braced himself for the impact, or been able to do something.    When I have taught people to drive, I drill into them to be proactive in spotting trouble before it becomes a  problem.
• What was the title of that film? 7 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  I can't remember a great deal about the story but probably enough for someone to answer my question. The Dad listened to a radio phone-in programme which featured people in his situation and subsequently he became friends with a lady who was also listening to that programme. In due course, much encouraged by his son, our friend arranged to meet said lady at the top of the Empire State building in New York.

  Soem crz owners have mentioned Yasusa brand? Is it easy to swap in a new battery without messing up things like radio codes, alarms? Or is it best left to the dealer? Does the car remember it’s mileage when you change the battery?

• Buying a new second hand car 29 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  Regardless  of dealerships that sell nearly new/approved cars delivered with  "pre-delivery checks" and a "service" if you are lucky, my experience is that it is almost certain that after a week or so, minor things( and sadly major items too)  emerge like a warning light,squeaking pedals, bulbs, rattles, radio not tuning and other foibles etc . A dealer will of course always say a car comes with a guarantee and "you can return it sir if not satisfied", but don't they realise that a truly satisfied customer is one who never needs to come back till the next scheduled service is due( several months if not 12 down the line??
• rider looks like a policeman 7 Jul 2017 (Forum)
  As he approaches he looks like a police motorcyclist. I am convinced he is just a commuter as there is no other sign such as aerial, siren, radio etc; fitted . Has anyone else seen him? Is it legal to 'pose' as a policeman? Any comments?

  Any ideas on something that would retain a reasonable trade in value ? I like automatics but not essential and a DAB radio would be nice. Thanks for reading and advice.
• Record Second Hand Cars Sold 18 Feb 2017 (Forum)
    I drive by car dealers forecourts (Swindon) and they are stuffed with secondhand cars. I see TV & hear radio adverts where big dealers are boasting of umpteen thousand  cars in national stock but I think asking prices are still high, particularly cars with 80-100k on the clock. What is happening ?
• Any - Adverts put me off cars 25 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  There are at least two radio ads at the moment that have completely put me off any thoughts of buying the featured cars due to the wording in the ad. One is for the Jaguar XE and the other for the Audi A4. The ads make a big thing about the low monthly payments and then the very last words at the end of the rushed terms and conditions is "Business users only".
• Ford Mondeo Edge 2008 - No Display and jammed CD -Sony 6CD Generation 2 1 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  Hi The front lighting display of the unit has not been working for some time. The radio works and I can control it through the steering buttons.  The CD is not working since a CD got jammed a few months ago. On top of that, I had some work done on the car which meant disconnecting the battery.
