• Autoglass Radio Advert 6 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  I assume therefore that modern screens are much more stronger than older ones and therefore less breakage claims? Second question. In the advert it states (not word for word) that a windscreen is part of the cars structural strength and, if it is chipped or cracked, it could affect the airbag activation!!! How do they work this out? And how are they allowed to scaremonger like this on a radio advert?

• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 99 1.6 faulty relay?? 1 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a Peugeot 306 1.6 LX 99 T reg. I went to start it today, it was started ok and i put the lights, wipers, rear window heat etc on, after about 6-7 seconds the front light lights flicked on and off then there was a sudden loss of power, all lights on the dash went out and the engine completely died, i tried to start it again but it just keeps turning over without firing.

• subaru legacy exhaust 8 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  One of the downpipes (RH cylinder) connected to the first (of 2) catalytic converters on my beloved 1993 Legacy 2.2 auto estate has started blowing a little. Unfortunately the hole seems to be underneath one of the heat shields so it would be difficult to bandage. I have been quoted a staggering £440 just for the front part + cat (fitted) from a usually reliable & reasonable exhaust & tyre place. I realise the system is 10 years old and is probably due for replacement but the whole thing is stacking up to about £1000!!!
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 1996 TD - All sorts of problems! 21 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  I have a rumbling knocking noise coming from my drivers side front wheel when I make sharp turns, the car also begins to feel quite bumpy when this happens. In addition I feel it to have a very choppy ride on poor road surfaces. In regards to the knocking whilst turning, Further reading leads me to believe this is either the steering pump or rack, my question is will it pass an MOT with this problem.

• Peugeot 307 SW (2002 - 2008) - 02 2.0 Washer system 26 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I had it checked out on Tuesday and had the ECU reset - since then, no faults or warnings On Thursday, going home, I tried to use the windscreen washer and the wipers worked fine but the screen washer didn't - neither front or back. Looking at Haynes it would appear that the washer circuit has its own fuse, which I will check tomorrow. If the fuse is ok it would appear that the fact the washer isn't working could be down to 4 things - washer or switch fault, electrical fault, kinked/blocked pipe.
• Incorrect info on Ticket 29 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  A friend of mine got back to his car - saw the dreaded yellow ticket - near his car (had fallen off) the windscreen. The traffic warden has entered the colour of te car as blue. It is black. Can he refuse payment - on these grounds - i.e. details are incorrect on the ticket?
• Anyone bought a car with EXACT mileage? 7 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  There\'s a garage in North Wales selling a yellow P-Reg Fiat Barchetta (sp?) for £5,995. Its says on the ad on the windscreen that it has done 90,000 miles. A glance at the speedo shows a mileage of ..... 90,000 (exactly!). Is such an exact mileage suspicious? And is it a good car for the price? It\'s LHD by the way!

• BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - 01 1.9 Rear Heated Window Failure 7 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Guys, My RHW has been causing bad reception on the radio for 6 months and then failed altogether. I have replaced it and it does not heat up. The fuse is OK, and the dash light works and times out. Ther does not appear to be any voltage at the cable end so I wondered if their was a relay in circuit somewhere? Any ideas please, Steve
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 02 1.6 heat shield falling off 23 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  The heat shield under my Focus which protects the fuel tank area from the rear exhaust silencer has partly come away and is hanging down. My local independent says they will have a go at re-securing it, or remove it completely if it cannot be repaired.
• Ford Mondeo 1 (1993 - 1996) - 96 1.8 Heated rear window 5 Jan 2009 (Forum)
