• Car speakers ? 17 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I remember some time ago, a system where the speakers for the car radio/tape player were replaced by using the inside of the windscreen to transmit the sound. Does anyone remember this please, or was it just a flash in the pan ? Thank you, petel@clara.co.uk
• Spare Wheels 3 May 2005 (Forum)
  Did early cars not have boots, or not big enough for a wheel? Or was running gear so much more complex? I realise that some early cars were rear engined but I am not so sure if they all were? [This was prompted by my son looking at old cars and discussing them with me.

• VW PASSAT - Heated Mirrors 7 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  As an owner of a 2000 model year VW PASSAT 1.8 Estate, I have found that the "heated" mirrors do not appear to operate efficiently. I asked the franchised dealer to check them last service but they responded that they were working OK. I wonder has anyone experienced a similar problem?
• Peugeot 306 - 1.4 - Y Reg - Electrical fault - Indicators and Wipers 21 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  First fault is with the indicators; they turn on but the bulbs don't flash, they just stay illuminated until i turn them off. However they do flash when i unlock the car! The second fault is with the windscreen wipers. They turn on and off as told, but don't return to the start position automatically, they just stutter across the windscreen as if they are trying to find their home.
• Wiper Blades 15 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/wiper_blade_test.php When it has just started to drizzle a bit starting with a dry windscreen, it wipes ok. However, if I start off the car after a heavy downpour, with a fully wet windscreen, the driver's side wiper in particular tends to judder badly. Might there be any explanation for this ?
• Mercedes-Benz C-Class W202 - Heater only warm on one side 9 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  I have a 1998 R C200 Elegance without air-conditioning.  It has a split heating system for each side of the interior controled by two thumbwheels, even when both are turned to hot I'm only getting heat on one side of the car, any ideas? 
• Ford Fiesta - Ford Fiesta 1999 T 1.25 zetec s heater always hot 2 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  I changed the thermostat £9, flushed the system, and re-filled the coolant £10 and that never fixed the problem. I read on here a couple of people had got my very issue with random over heating and they said to change the heater control unit as when broken (common problem) it can cause the engine to over heat. £19 later all was spot on, done 200 miles trouble free and the heater inside the car has been working good too.

• Blue "Police Type" Lights 10 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I've seen a few youngsters driving around sporting small blue colour police type lights in the windscreen area but today, in Clevedon, Somerset, I spied a Tesco articulated truck (unloading) with a blue light in each half of the windscreen which must have been 2 to 3 inches square and quite bright.
