• Peugeot 307 (2001 - 2007) - 06 1.4 Intermittent Brake Lights 14 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  However, a bloke in a local garage to work told me that there is a switch by the front passenger door somewhere that may have been knocked but as yet I have not had a chance to check this. As I mentioned they are only intermittently coming on. Any ideas please?. as it?s a bit dangerous considering she does the school run with the kids in the back and I reckon it?s only a matter of time before some bonehead drives into the back of her? Thanks Keith McCormack
• What`s your risk assessment on breakdown? 12 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  A two point question regarding breakdowns. 1) When did you last breakdown (by the roadside) and how did you get out of it? 2) what`s your current plan to minimise risk the of being stranded by a breakdown? some comment, I guess I can`t have been alone in days gone by, scorning breakdown services and carrying a massive tool box, spare clutch cable, fuel pump and many other parts that were deemed `a risk`.
• MINI MINI Cooper and S R56 (2007 - ) - Door Mirrors stolen 15 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  A colleague at work has recently had the door mirrors stolen from her Mini Cooper S (BMW want £300 parts only). When she informed the police it was the 11th case that weekend in the area so clearly someone was doing the rounds and no doubt these will appear on ebay or similar. They were removed suprisingly easily and they left no damage to the doors - they did a real good job.

• Advice on Trade In Please 7 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I have now discovered that I gave the garage the wrong info about my car - I told them it is was a Passat S but when I checked the V5 it turns out to be an SE. According to Parkers the difference in Trade In value is £260 (SE worth more than S). A stupid stupid mistake. What can I do? The deal is done and I collect the car on Friday.
• wheel bearings ? 5 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  It had been intermittent in the last few weeks but is now permanent after 10 minutes. If it is the wheel bearings, it is preferable to change both sets at the same time ? (o/s and n/s wheels). Is this noise consistent with the one of worn out wheel bearings ? Is it urgent and what sort of bill should I expect ? Thanks for your help, Catalyst
