  • How can I tell if tyres have flat spots? 19 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    Hi - I recently bought a Eunos import that has sat in dry storage for up to 5 years. It vibrates at several speeds, and I am wondering if this could be caused by flat spots on the tyres from sitting sround without moving for so long? Or is it more likely to be wheel balancing?
  • clampers 18 Mar 2001 (Forum)
    They are putting up notices and then removing cars between the hours or 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. and taking them to a compound under the MI at Mill Hill. They then demand £400 - in cash - for release plus an extra £60 per day for storage. The guards at the compound carry tyre levers and have hungry alsation dogs yapping at their heels. In spite of their threatening behaviour police when called were powerless.

  • Vauxhall Insignia - Facelift 15plt Insignia - rear adjustable air vent 23 Mar 2015 (Forum)
    My new Insignia SRi collected on Friday has no rear adjustable air vents behind the central front arm rest.  Yet my previous 60plt SRi did and also it had a rear armrest/storage which this one has not.

  • Citreon - Is it legal for a garage to change a date on a V5? 23 Jul 2011 (Forum)
    I've just been to look at a car at a main franchised dealer - I know that the car was taken in part exchange in April, but the date on the sellers part of the V5 (which the garage has retained) has been altered (with tip-ex) from "04" (April), to "07" (July). The garage does now acknowledge that they've had it in storage for a few weeks, but we were originally given the impression that it had just come in. Is it legal for a garage to alter the V5 - they admit it has been changed, but can offer no expalnation!

    I made the u shaped removal tools that have worked on every other radio I have ever tried but this one wont budge. I have removed the cassette tape storage thing under the radio but it's still refusing to move. I've tried wiggling the removal prongs and easing them inwards and outwards but no joy.
