• Storing waste heat from a car to use in the house? 27 May 2008 (Forum)
  My journey to Liverpool from Oxfordshire set me thinking. How much waste heat did my journey expel to the atmosphere, and could it be trapped and used? My cunning plan involves using the waste engine heat to warm a medium in a tank - perhaps a saline solution, which on return home is then plugged into the hot water circuit of the domestic plumbing and has the heat extracted from it.

• Galaxy - heated fron screen 23 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  At the service I requested that they investigate that the passenger side of the screen doesn't defrost - the only apparent fault. The only report back was 'suspect front screen'. As the service and cambelt change was time consuming I am not convinced that this was properly investigated. I'm a handy chap but can't get hold of a copy of a Haynes manual or similar to help me, I know that the LHS and RHS have 'contacts' in either corner under the dashboard area but can anyone advise either, 1) a source of a workshop manual ( as I don't want to take it to Ford every time I have a small problem ) or 2) can anyone advise wire codes / numbers or where to check on the vehicle.

• Autonomous cars 5 Mar 2017 (Forum)
    That is the placement of controls such they can being seen/operated without distracting the driver in any way.  Such considerations seem to have been cast aside and car controls are now too complicated for safe operation. And don't get me started on heated windscreens only being avaiable as extra-cost options. Come on folks... Who agrees/disagrees?
