• 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.

• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 2002 convertible hood problems 17 Aug 2023 (Forum)
  Hand Brake was on every time we tried. When we got home I opened all the windows and tried again, it unlocked the windscreen section about six inches and then started bleeping again and got stuck! In the end I had to manually wind the roof back to closed with the allen key. Cars only done 16K. Any suggestions ? I am thinking along the lines of a sensor or bad connection?

• APCOA Parking Ticket 4 May 2012 (Forum)
  Hi all, any advice would be welcome on this one. I returned to my car this afternoon to be greeted by the pleasant sight of a yellow sticker on the windscreen, courtesy of the Apcoa gorillas. I was parked in my works' car park, but in the wrong section. We have an 'indoors' and an 'outdoors' section, with our permanent work permits only valid outdoors.
• Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - 04 Feels like it's scraping the road when braking 7 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  The reason I ask is I don't trust the garage 100% - they managed to crack the windscreen of my car during the service and only when I insisted that the crack wasn't there before did they go and ask the mechanics what had happened and it transpired that it probably happened when the car was coming down off the ramp.... they are paying for insurance excess, but their initial reluctance to take responsibility for this makes me cautious.
