• Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - Mazda misting up 30 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  It has terrible problems with misting/condensation and I've tried pretty much every possible combination with the heating/ventilation/recirculation etc but always end up having to open the window and/or have the heating on full blast. Any ideas of the cause or a suggestion for remedies? Thanks guys.

• vitodens-222-f-35kw - Storage Combi versus System boilers 31 Dec 2020 (Forum)
      I was told in the past combi boilers can not heat up the radiators and heat the water for shower at the same time and heating the water take priority, but does that mean the boiler can heat the radiators till 130litre depleted first?

• 306 Pollen Filter 11 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  I thought it was time that I change the pollen filter in my car. Local parts shop have listing for 1.9 Dturbo but not for 2.0 HDI Dturbo and asked me to get a number from mine. Please where is it?

• Microchipped number plates 3 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  These number plates together with the roadside technology to read them will start being introduced in 2004. The main aims seem are to detect/prevent insurance offences, detect car thefts and, eventually, wil lead to the abolition of the windscreen VED with paperless/automated relicensing. It all seems good on paper but are there any drawbacks?
• Anti-freeze 31 Oct 2002 (Forum)

Me being tight was wondering if just some anti freeze (coolant) with water would have the same affect., and put that in the spray dispenser.

• Vauxhall Zafira A (1999 - 2005) - 04 2.0DTi Mod to improve wiper coverage. 13 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Once I was happy with this I then refitted the passenger wiper with a 24" blade. The right edge of the passenger wiper (looking from the front of the car) almost touches the driver wiper Unfortunately the other end of the passenger wiper doesn't lie flat, but does sweep right up to the "A" pillar and the blindspot is reduced (still that thick "A" pillar!)

• BMW 1 Series Convertible - Crack type noises 1 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Does anyone have any advice about loud crack type noises that seem to come from the dashboard or windscreen struts of the convertible we have just bought? It is a BMW series 1 car and the noises are quite disconcerting when driving over a bump or going round doundabouts? It is mainly in the first 10 miles of driving a journey and the car is only about 10 months old.
• Friend sort of wrongly given parking ticket 24 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  He parked in a car park but bought a ticket but left the sunroof slightly open, the wind must have blown the ticket of the dashboard. When he got to the car the ticket was on the drivers seat and not the windscreen. He has proof via CCTV and via the ticket that he bought one, is there any hope of an appeal?
