• HGV decor 9 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  I saw last night an HGV lit up like Blackpool illuminations at the front.   One of the striking things was the lighting display behind the driver.   This one wasn't as striking as some I've seen, like indian chiefs with feathered headdress.   Can any of the BRs tell me whether the display reflects into the eyes of the driver or is the display not visible to the driver because of the slope of the windscreen ?
• Mk4 Golf - condensation inside w/screen 24 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  I'm finding condensation on the inside of the front windscreen in my Golf Mk4 lately. Nothing obviously wrong, could just be autumn I guess - are they prone to faults that can cause this? Is it an early warning of anything, eg heater radiator? Had a new w/screen in July, but haven't seen any leaks or anything.

• What truly odd cars can you remember seeing? 22 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  The car wasn't customised in any other way, just a standard Rapier front on a normal Corsair body. Another oddity was a double-ended Austin A30 in Cornwall - like two front halved welded back-to-back, so if you followed it, it looked like it was reversing!

• Windscreen Scratches and Swirl mark 30 May 2003 (Forum)
  Got a light scratches on the windscreen and my car dealer worsen it after polishing. Now could see swirl mark on my windscreen. Is there any DIY method to fix up this problem.

  My son recently had the front brake pads and discs replaced at a fast fit operation as the pads were on their way out. Now the new front offside pads keep binding sporadically after the car has been driven a couple of miles as shown by the wheel heating up and a burning smell.
