• Audi Service Interval 16 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  The 2001 Audi A4 is a clever car it tells on the display(spanner icon) the time/miles to its next service. But how does it know when oil, filters, brake fluid etc., have been changed? And what does it mean when the display shows 'dashes' for time and miles not any figures? Brian

• Car services dreadful - it's official 23 Jun 2005 (Forum)

• Auto Renault struggles after idling 28 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I've got a P reg, automatic Renault Laguna 3.0 v6, when waiting in traffic or at lights when I pull away the car struggles briefly then is ok. It's as if the acceleration doesn't kick in straight away or the brake is stuck - any ideas what it could be? Thanks
• Black boxes 8 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  All new cars sold in the USA will be required to have a black box fitted. It seems they will be able to check out the way the car is driven, speed, hard braking etc and store it for later viewing. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,132056,00.html How long before it happens here ? Perhaps the police might use the data for fines ?
• Pug 306 Bent Hub? 29 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I had a wheel bearing replaced by a Unipart garage. They said they had difficulties removing the old bearing. Ever since there has been a brake shudder from this side. I tried new disks, but there the rotation was still eccentric. What else can it be? A bent hub or misaligned bearing?

• range Rover and London bus indicators 1 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Has anyone noticed the new indicator and brake lights fitted to Range Rovers and London buses. They are so instantaneous and suddenly bright that you don't notice them. The more normal bulbs with a filament are much easier to see. Another triumph of form over substance?
