• Daewoo Lanos (1997 - 2002 ) - yellowing headlight 12 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  during my cars MOT last may the examiner mentioned the fact that the headlights had started to yellow, something to do with the plastic material and the heat from the bulbs...has any one here had any similar experience with such matters?
• Cold feet 8 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  When I have hot air directed only at the feet in my Golf, the passenger's feet (not that there are normally feet there - most days it's just my lunch and handbag) get hotter much more quickly than mine. Is that the same in most cars? Is it because the pedals block the heat on the driver's side?

• Vauxhall Zafira CDTI1.9 - Intermittent AC/Heater problems 17 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  I've been having a problem with the heating and AC in my wife's car for a while but as it gets colder the nagging gets louder. When I turn on the heating it doesn't always come on straight away, sometimes it doesn't come on at all, sometimes after a random amount of time.

• leasing and options 1 May 2007 (Forum)
  i would have thought the first four were beneficial and the last three are because i want them - always said if i bought a car it would have heated seats and i want a sunroof again. Great on a summers evening. Blinds being the least important. i might have to revise my options list.
• Jeep Renegade PHEV - Test Drive 20 Mar 2023 (Forum)
     Snobs and techies are unlike to enjoy the interior which is pretty plain and functional.  The 'infotainment' is small and low down, but you don't have to use it for heating etc, so you can just ignore it.      
• Volkswagen Passat (2001 - 2005) - 03 1.9 noise at 1500rpm 3 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  Its almost a "harmonic balance " thing - bit like when you can get pipe hammer in your house copper central heating pipes at certain water pressure/flows. She's not even aware of it (and I wont tell her) and I suppose it may disappear in time when a drive belt or something settles down but I would like to further my education if anybody has any ideas.
• Mercedes B class 180d AMG - Quick review. 17 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  The autobraking was far too sensitive and I don’t want constant warnings about being too close to the vehicle in front, if a car pulls out in front of me I can hardly help it! I didn’t like the the ‘ipad’ style screen when the car was launched and having tried to live with it its a pain. Its position means the climate controls are now very low down behind the gearstick and the buttons are tiny.

• Citroen Relay van - turns over fine but wont start but bumpstarts fine 7 Apr 2023 (Forum)
  hi, van recently started playing up, was difficult to start it with key, it turns over no problem but fails to start up - almost like it has an immobilizer problem it will however bump start very easily, the turnover is nice and fast so i am sure it is not a battery problem, a friend has put a diagnostic on but the readings are a bit odd - it seemed to imply it had a POST-heat problem (not pre-heat)  any ideas?   cheers Russell
• Scienic MK1 - Heating controls cutting power to fan 16 Jan 2017 (Forum)

• hyundai coupe 2007 - hyundai coupe interior light illumination 17 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  The interior switches illuminate blue. Does anyone know if the 5 switches that operate the air con, heated screen rear heated screen and recirculation buttons ( there are 5 in total) at the bottom of the centre console should all light up blue as at the moment only the centre button which is the rear defog button lights up blue, we are not sure if this is a fault or they are all like this.
• Volkswagen Polo III - 2000/2001 - Horn and Illuminated Heater Controls 6 Dec 2012 (Forum)
   Mine has stopped working and the fuse is fine but I can't locate the horn in the engine bay. Also, when driving at night none of my heating controls are illuminated.  Is this how they are or should there be some form of lighting so I can see which control is which?  My rear view deminster and AC buttons are illuminated at night so it's strange that the heating controls are not.
• 96 Jeep Grand Vherokee - Brakes not releasing 29 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  after a short period of driving brakes begin to bind and heat up. Further driving will heat pads and brakes extreme. Pedal moves up and begins to get tight requiring minimal pressure to syop completly, If slowing down at about 5mph brakes will self engage and bring vehicle to a stop then partially release. have tried complete brake bleed and fluid replacement, caliper replace, calip check, replaced proportioning valve, checked master cylinder, replaced ABS, now at a loss for ideas.

• '03 Nissan Almera door mirror glass 5 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  I clipped mirrors, and smashed the glass. The replacement glass had a heating element (the original hadn't), but while I was paying for it the enthusiastic staff fitted it before I had a chance to see how it was done. Full marks to Brookside garage, Cemaes bay, Anglesey. Now I'm thinking I could probably pick up the wiring for the mirror heater in the loom (It comes on with the heated rear window), but how do I remove the glass without breaking it.
