• Silicone based car polish as seen on TV 4 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  It says at the start of the advert that it uses a combination of silicones. I always thought that you should never use silicone near a car's paintwork as it can lead to all sorts of problems in the event of needing to have a panel resprayed, silicone craters etc. Any comments?

• VW Golf Estate - Wheel Balancing 8 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  I have just had four new tyres put on my Golf Estate. I notice that three wheels have new lead weights where they have been balanced but the offside rear does not have any weight at all. Does this mean that the garage has forgotten to balance the wheel or is it possible that it did not need balancing?

• Anti-SUV hysteria subsiding 4 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  Overall the market is down 24% for the month (end of sc***page plus 2% VAT increase), but sales of medium SUVs are up 12.4% and large ones 7.7%.  Could it be that the anti-SUV campaign a couple of years ago lead manufacturers to reduce manufacturing targets, and they've been caught on the hop now that the market is returning to normal?
