• Vauxhall "Lifetime" Warranty 31 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  The bumph in the paper said you only need to take for an annual inpection. Not true. You need to service it every year. Thats ££££s. The dealership were surprised Vauxhall came out with this. He said they are confident in the product for reliability. Every Vauxhall I've owned has been nothing but trouble and a costly one. And how long would it be to hit 100,000 miles.

• VW Corrado - Driving without indicators 20 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  Hi - A low-life  stole my front foglights and indicators during the week and I am having problems replacing them. (VW can only supply the N/S set).   I am reduced to trawling ebay and various forums for replacements, however the question is : can I drive the car legally without the front indicators?

• "vehicle owners should hide their keys" 31 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  id=5651 Interesting advice from Cobra - but is it in the best interests of personal safety given today`s knife culture? We leave our car keys on the coffee table in the lounge at night - in the belief that car thieves are pretty serious if they have made it that far. Would you prefer them to take the keys and go?
• MINI - Power Steering 13 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  My wife has an 04 Cooper S with 24k on the clock. The power steering failed and is booked in with the local garage (not Mini) on Monday. Having done a little research, this appears to be a common problem. Is it something that Mini now recognises as a design fault and will help with costs or do I have a fight on my hands?
