• Why no dashboard gear display in manuals? 11 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  In most automatics, you can see in which gear you are in dashboard displays. But I've not seen such display in any manual cars! What's the reason?

• Peugeot 205 16 Aug 2001 (Forum)

• Renault Clio - Creaking noise when steering to park or drive out 12 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  I have a new Renault Clio automatic. My driveway has a bit of slope as the street is sloping down. I have observed that when I take a hard left and then hard right in reverse gear while manoeuvring to park in the bay I hear a creaking or clunking kind of sound as if a metal to metal contact under pressure.

• Mercedes C Class - Let there be light - or not 12 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  I have tried switching the side lights on and this does not illuminate them either. In my previous 3 series it was simples - when the headlights came on automatically the interior switch gear also lit up. But this does not happen in the C Class. Does anyone have any idea how to ensure the interior illuminates when the head lights automatically come on ?
• EU directive Black boxes SOS from april 2018 1 May 2015 (Forum)
  With gps and mobile comms, tracking of all vehicles is now a piece of cake, allowing automatic fine/penalty point issuance for minor speeding, parking offences etc. Selling of data to insurance companies with all that may bring. A fantastic money earner for mobile phone companies, no doubt we have to pay for the systems operational costs somehow.

• Peugeot 206 - Peugeot 206 2003 front wipers 20 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  Hi guys, My Sister in law owns a 206 with automatic wipers and automatic lights. As of last week the front wipers decided not to work full stop. First thing i changed were the fuses with no joy. After doing a bit of research i decided the next thing to change would be the Comms 2000 unit as these are quite common.
• N/a - Autobox + aged drivers = hazard 10 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  The other day I saw a Corsa reverse over 20 yards at increasing speed across a pedestrianised area of the town and smash into a shop window. Guess what: automatic gearbox.  And? Elderly lady driver. Apparently she said, "it stuck in reverse and revved up". Fortunately she was only shaken and confused, no one else was injured, but unless there genuinely is some demonic mechanical gremlin which activates when elderly drivers try to park or maneouvre, I suspect this and the other cases of loss of control are due to the driver desperately pressing the accelerator to try and stop;  HJ always recommends left foot braking with automatics (I've always done so when I had autos).
• Kia Magentis 2.7 V6 LS Auto. - Manufacturer's Warranty 27 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  We often receive enquiries from clients who require a short term lease on a comfortable automatic car. This can be because an employee has a temporary ailment that prevents them from driving a manual car or they are awaiting delivery of a new car with an ever-lengthening build time. For this reason ( and because it's inexpensive and hence it doesn't matter if it is rarely used) we have bought an originally U.K. sourced, 2007 57 plate, Kia Magentis 2.7V6 LS Automatic saloon that has covered 25,000 miles and has a full dealer service history.
