• critical navigation 30 Sep 2014 (Forum)
  Last night on the A1, a car overtook me at a slow differential speed, so I am confident about what I saw, because I had plenty of time to observe while I wound my jaw back up from my lap.. They'd stuck a large satnav display on the windscreen.
• Peugeot 308 SW - Loss of value following accident repairs 6 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  A wee while ago I was in an accident, in which another motorist lost control and collided with my car.  The repairs required include new doors, front wing, bumper, windscreen and A pillar, and my insurer has approved the repairer's estimate. My main concern is the replacement of the A pillar - as this is structural, will it have an effect on the future value of the car?

  4, I have switches in the car for both A/C and Heated Seats but no obvious fitment of a/c under bonnet and button doesn't illuminate when pressed and the seats don't heat up! Is it possible vauxhall fitted the buttons regardless of weather the options were spec'ed or not?

• Honda Legend 2.7 12 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  All the electrical bits work (AC/sunroof, cruise control, seats, mirrors etc) and it is outwardly a smart silver car with a few minor bumper scuffs. Service history with Honda to 50K and local garage thereafter to present 93K with a 75K timing belt change. Front tyres are mismatched Kleber and Michelin MX which isn't so good and there are a couple of windscreen nicks but not to MOT fail size.
• Mitsubishi Outlander - brake calipers seizing 9 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  Just replaced a front brake caliper to now find out that the other front caliper and opposite rear are now sticking. Fuel consumption has dropped and heat generating in affected wheels(all understandably).  Is it just a case of replacing all the calipers or could it possibly be an electronic fault?

• Windscreen Wiper Recommendations 12 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, The car windscreen wipers are squealing, juddering and smearing across my windscreen. As the car is a year old and done 30k miles so they must be due for replacement. Has anybody any good recommendations for car windscreen wipers.
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 03 2.0 cruise control problems 26 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Experienced some odd cruise control earlier. Cruise on speed set turn on heated windscreen - speed increases 5mph press speed decrease, wait few seconds, speed increases all on it's own accord until i press resume button to turn system off!! It was accelerating all by itself to 90mph and beyond when I intervened.
• Fiesta Mk4 b fuses 17 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I have a fiesta Mk4b (facelifted version), and i want to know how i change the fuses in the fusebox thats in the engine bay, not the normal blade fuses, the special ford type of fuse, especially the 60amp fuse for the heated windscreen, it looks like it is pushed in place, but i was told they are screwed in place underneath the fuse holder, i don't know wether this is actually the case or not. I have seen one of these fuses and they appear to have a brass nut fitted on each terminal for doing a screw onto.
• Volkswagen Golf TDI - Car Windows misting up badly - Golf V (2004) 9 Nov 2019 (Forum)
  I have checked the pollen filter, looks almost new. I also feel the blowers/ heating-cooling system doesn’t work correctly, the temperature coming out doesn’t always match the setting and the blowers don’t seem to work as they should. For example when I trying to clear the windscreen they do not come on full blast most of the time unless I squirt the washer jets for a few seconds or if I put the car in reverse??
• Toyota MR2 - brakes - hot rear discs 8 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  Any ideas for a diagnosis? I should add that the front brakes are running as normal. The changed rear discs are making a huge difference between the temperature between the front and the rear discs. Should this be the case? I've never had such a great temperature differential before in all the 85,000 miles I have driven the car.
• Peugeot 306 - Windscreen Wiper / Washer problems 14 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  It's annoying though and means that I have to sit idle for a while or risk a potentially dangerous journey. Any advice much appreciated. Secondly, the windscreen washers. Since the extreme weather struck, the back one hasn't worked at all, and the front washers have only worked very sporadically. I've sprayed de-icer on the jets, and filled up the washer fluid tank, but to no avail.
