• Dacia Duster - CCTV to combat persistent vandalism problem 25 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  I have never been troubled myself however I intend to buy a new Duster later in the year which means I probably will. Can anyone advise of a comprehensive 24/7 CCTV system that can be left running as a deterrent, can run for up to two weeks without attention, is legal to use and will advertise its presence. In case anyone is wondering, the local police aren’t remotely interested.
• Advice-not using car due to self isolation 8 Apr 2020 (Forum)
    Can't see myself using my MazdaCX3 till "all this flu" has blown over( 12 weeks minimum) ....can't go out either, although car is parked outside house....should i  1) Start it up every few days and leave engine running with an occasional rev for 10 mins? 20 mins? 30 mins? 2) Let handbrake off/keep handbrake on? 3) How can i ensure effectiveness of footbrakes? 4) What else other than get a non isolater to give it a nice long run once a week?

  The poor guy (XXX) who worked on DH's car must bitterly regret getting stuck with DH as a customer. I seriously pity the next worker (Victim XXX2) DH tries to get to work on his car. DH has run up a nice solicitors bill - he better pay that one! DH wants to run up more debt clogging up the courts, wow, I wonder what his solicitor said about that? The mini will still be a pile of rust at the end of it all, unless DH wants to pay £7k for a new bodyshell - plus labour - come on DH, stop being a skinflint - PAY UP.

  Hi all, I've just read an article from 2015 by the Telegraphs, Alex Robbins about running the aircon, always, occaisionally, or never. Even after reading the article I'm still in the never camp, as I feel I simply don't need it. My Laureate was bought new in 2013 & the aircon has never been on.

• Vauxhall Astra G Diesel - vauxhall astra diesel 1997 won't start 28 Oct 2015 (Forum)
    It doesn't seem it is even drawing power when trying to start.  It started fine and it was running fine.  It will bump start fine and run.  Last night it wouldn't start and then this morning it started 3 times fine but now won't even turn over again.  The battery doesn't seem to be a problem at all.

• Audi A3 Sportback - What should RPMs be for normal driving? 13 May 2015 (Forum)
  Hi Just had first service on Audi A3 sportsback  1.4 SE TSFI (cod). Since collecting my car, it seems to run away with itself. It runs around 2000 rpm. I was in traffic today and was coasting in first gear, with no foot on clutch or accelerator and it was doing 5 mph with me just steering, it increased to 9 mph in 2nd gear and 12 mph in 3rd gear.
