• Phillips CD player goes quiet... 30 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  After being on reasonably loud for some time, the volume on my Phillips 660 dies down and cannot be increased. If I turn if off for a few minutes then back on it's fine. So I have a heat-related problem. Is it likely to be something I can easily fix?

• Mazda 6 - Womp Womp noise from front of car 17 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  I have also swapped the front wheels with the rear to try to rule out tires and the noise still remains and sounds like its still in the front, they also appear to be wearing ok. The front discs and pads have also been changed which hasnt made a difference.

• How can it be so difficult to find a car 25 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  Both Joe at auctioncarbuyer and I have been looking around and could not find one that?s in good/original condition and at book price. Now, I want a top spec car, with electric, heated (leather) seats, cd changer, auto-dimming mirrors and a 2-litre engine. I am looking at both the Mondeo Ghia X and Primera SVE/T-spec. Would any of the BRer have any other suggestion for a 3-4 year-old, top-spec cars, launched in this millennium and cost less than £5,000?

  Why don't drivers heed speed restrictions on newly-surfaced roads? 9 Jun 2010 (Ask HJ)
  My vote for most disregarded road sign goes to the warning at the side of a newly surfaced road. Typically, one is “instructed” to keep below 20mph (or...
• DVLA Clamping Damaged my motor 10 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I thought it best to make the payment and follow up with the local DVLA office afterwards. Today I got in my car to drive to work, and as soon as i set off I realised I had a problem and I stopped the car. The leaflet on my windscreen turned out to be a untaxed vehicle notice and the clamp was attached on the passenger side which I can't see from the house.

• Bumpers 18 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Modern front and rear panels gave cars a clean, uncluttered look so manufacturers bestowed grilles, scoops, stakes etc upon them. But are they bumpers? I would say cars do not have bumpers any more. A colleague of mine drives a battered old banger and unashamedly goes in for contact parking - part of the reason the banger is battered.
• 2 or 4 New Tyres on 4WD? 13 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Whilst checking my tyres at the weekend I was surprised to find that the rear threads (or is it treads?) are down to 2-3mm, the fronts are at 4-5mm. My surprise is because my last set of tyres wore more quickly on the front, albeit a different make of tyre and I have changed the tyre pressures I use on the fronts. All 4 tyres were changed at the same time.
