any - used car problems 28 Nov 2010 (Forum)
No vehicle manufacturer can ignore the power of mass communications nowadays. From when I started driving in the 1970's car reliability was 1970's car reliability, but I have just bought a 2009 car for £7000 instead of its RRP price of £16000 aginst a new car that was £12000 in 1992 (new to new prices) Bigger depreciation now on the korean, but far better equipped and also far better fuel economy than the honda engined rover from 1992. -

Fading sound on my TV. Static or what? 10 Apr 2010 (Forum)
My best guess is that some sort of static is building up somewhere, because there is a lot of crackling when I switch off the telly (tho it's only a guess, so that may be nonsense). Any ideas what I can do to cure this? I would like to be able to ignore the <s>pointless punch-and-judy show</s> election campaign by choice, rather than by being technically excluded from experiencing nauseating parade of duck-billed platitudes. -

New tyres - Prices online vs phone prices 25 Jul 2009 (Forum)
I?ve just had to get some rear tyres for my wife?s car and I am really surprised at some of the prices for these tyres I was quoted. No need to go into details of the car but I asked for the price for Continentals, same size, same speed and load rating for all my quotes. -

Dealing with an insurance claim - help please. 13 May 2009 (Forum)
I looked in my door mirror and watched the van getting closer until it struck my car, gouging deep furrows in the o/s of the rear bumper and lesser furrows in the o/s/r wing paintwork and damaging the door mirror. As I was struck, I gave a loud, sustained blast on my horn as this van scraped down the side of my car. -

Should I opt out of Co. car? What car to get? 19 Jan 2009 (Forum)
ve budgeted £75/month) Are there any expenses I?m missing out on? I?d get a slightly better fuel rate from my company so that?s an upside as well.

Honda Accord Tourer (2003 - 2008) - Warranty rectification 11 Sep 2008 (Forum)
The dealers seem reluctant to deal with any of these issues, and I've tried all the fairly local outlets, so I need to find a way to persuade them to co-operate. As an aside, I?ve also never had any goodwill what so ever for the 8 weeks it?s been off the road completely since I?ve had it, but that?s bye the bye. Any ideas?
