• Window Tints 27 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I have just bought a Landcruiser D4D which unfortunately has had all the windows tinted (except the windscreen). The rear tints are quite dark and are useful in the sense that it is difficult to see what is in the load area. The front tints are lighter and you can see through from one side to the other. They do not appear to hinder my driving vision.
• Car Bras 28 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  It's been changed because it gave no hint of what the thread is about. HJ.) Saw a Chrysler Grand Voyager in the local car park this morning -the front was hidden by a padded plastic cover that extended from below the grille to the windscreen. Presumably to prevent stone chips, but it completely ruined the look of the car.

• Ford Fiesta - Fiesta MK 4 1998 1.3i crazy electrical problems 3 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  The headlight/indicator arm does nothing but the car head lights do come on.  The front windscreen washers try and move but judder about an inch or so. I have been round in circles changing the fuses and unplugging things.  It is really strange the whine coming out the interior fuse box and having crazy control over the other electrics.
• Windscreen washer smell 10 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Hi What's has bugged me for a while now is why do, particularly newer cars, smell of windscreen washer when you operate the jets. Presumable it's because the cabin air intake is right at the base of the windscreen, where all the fluid can seep down and evaporate into the car.
