  What causes windscreen wiper scratches? 8 Sep 2021 (Ask HJ)
  My daughter recently bought a used Micra from a Nissan Dealership. But when using the windscreen wipers for the first time, following a spell of dry weather,...
• Hole in windscreen 1 May 2006 (Forum)
  A small deep hole resulting from a stone has appeared on the windscreen. I do not have windscreen insurance. Can I fill it with epoxy resin? Or what is best? Regards, Mike.
• Ford Focus Zetec 1.6 2002 - Offside front wheel running very hot!! 31 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  When I eventually arrived back home I felt a brief wave of heat as I opened the door and quickly located the source....that being the front offside wheel. It was seriously hot to the point of not being able to touch it. I had all brakes replaced last year about 4 or 5k ago and other than being a bit squeeky, have given me no problems.

  Cleaning a 'film' off glass 28 Feb 2013 (Ask HJ)
  The inside of my windscreen (BMW330i/2004) is covered with a film that I can only assume comes from the a/c - it's similar to the haze on a smoker's windscreen...
• Damaged Windscreen 6 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  The windscreen of my new Accord diesel has been damaged by a stone, I think, from a passing lorry. The screen isn't cracked but there is a small "dent" in the screen. Can this be repaired or will it necessitate a replacement windscreen?

  I seem to have acquired a very fine scratch across the windscreen of our Lexus ES, probably from a fine piece of grit on the wiper blade. It is only visible...

  Fiat 500C - where's the aerial? 20 Jun 2014 (Ask HJ)
  My wife owns a 2010 Fiat 500C (convertible for sake of clarity) and we would like a confirmation that the aerial is actually in the windscreen itself,...
• Water removal from windscreens/turbo visors 13 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  About cars though, surprised that there hasn`t been an alternative to wipers, at least at speed. I mean something such as airflow, compressed air curtain, bonnet aerodynamics? Must admit, this post came to mind after a certain well known brand of wiper blades only lasted 12 months again.
• VW Polo letting water in.... 6 May 2004 (Forum)
  The spare wheel is sitting in it's own puddle at the moment, and I almost think the water is coming up from below, rather than in from above, but that would be stupid, wouldn't it? Now, at the front... twice now when I've first got in the car after some rain, I've driven around a corner and heard water running across from driver's side to passenger side, and then a sizzle, like it's hit the speaker or something.
• vauxhall astra - Vauxhall Astra windscreen question 11 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  Hi, I promised to ask this question for a collegue.   He has a damaged windscreen on a 02 plate astra estate; he is able to source a windscreen from a y plate astra hatchback and has someone to carry out the works. Are the windscreen in the Astra mark 4 (98-04) identical on the hatchback and estate?
• Ford Ka - front brakes 9 Jun 2016 (Forum)
  I live in a quiet street so I decided to take the chance and go for a drive. When I braked the pedal was the same, hadly any play at all. It did stop the car at low speed, about 20mph but not as quickly as normal. I came to a slight incline and the car struggled to get up it. I had to put it in first and rev the b*****. There was a smell of burning so I stopped and inspected the front wheels.
• BMW 3 Series E46 - left car idling, now it's dead 17 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  No response from the radio, heating, lights etc. The doors won't even lock. The engine wasn't very warm when I went back to it so assume it cut out well before 2 hrs. Have I killed my car or does the battery just need recharging? Thanks

• Car Interior Design 2 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Takes up space too. Current VW beetle for example. Its seems to be about a foot and a half from the windscreen to the front lip of the dash.

• CD's in windscreen 19 May 2003 (Forum)
  I've just looked at pugugly's note 'Fun' and saw his mention of CD's in windscreen. I recently saw several cars being driven by Indian or Asian drivers and they had the above mentioned hanging from the drivers mirror. They had writing of an Indian/Asian appearance on them and I assumed it was a cultural or religious adornment of some sort.
