• Have I gone mad? 11 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  As I have stated, I don't know sweet FA about cars, and if I don't go to work, I don't get paid, so I need a decent car. Have I lost it? It would make sense to get out of paying through the nose for a car I don't own, though..........Cheers : )

• Any - Would The Rust Fairy be A Felon? 6 May 2024 (Forum)
  Suppose, hypothetically, that you had been passing a very scruffy old Datsun pickup truck parked in one of those soon-to-be developed areas where parking restrictions are not enforced, which tend to collect old and possibly abandoned vehicles. (I parked my truck somewhere like this near Kings Cross, but it was a well dodgy area even by London standards and was eventually vandalised and stolen) Suppose you rather liked those trucks and were saddened to see this one so neglected.
• Kia picanto - Is there a good reason for mileage discrepanc 26 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  I'm looking for a first car for my 18 year old son and have seen a possible option in Cargiant. It's a 2018 model. However the HPI check shows a 380 mile reduction when it was a year old. It looks like the mileage was entered correctly, then increased for some reason on the same day and then changed back down two days later.

Not having access to a code reader or meter can I tell if the old pack is faulty - will it smell of burnt electrics? Any advice gratefully received, the new pack won't be here until next week.

• Aftermarket audio suggestions 14 Aug 2010 (Forum)
   Tiny multi-function buttons, lurid displays that say "hello" in 37 languages, and "3D sonic loudness equalisation with active anti-distort mode PMPO enhancers" don't really cut the mustard now I'm not 9 years old any more. Any brand suggestions for something that won't look out of place in a 22 year old German car gratefully received.  In aftermarket brand speak, I just need an RDS radio with: Directly Indexed Frequency Selector Switchpack ( a row of buttons that allow instant re-tuning to the selected radio station, numbered one to six for clarity) Integrated Rotational Power Moderator (a circular dial that controls the output volume by virtue of its rotation) Hardware-based Media Access Facilitation Device (a slot where CDs can be inserted when you want to play them.)
