    Radio control wheel has started grinding when used

    Hi all The wheel that changes station/track on the steering column worked fine for years and has suddenly started grinding when used as if something is rubbing or come off inside. Not very technically descriptive I know!!! Has this happened to you and did you fix it? Thanks

    Changing door sensor (not handles) on keyless entry

    Already changed both handles a few months ago. The drivers door sensor is getting intermittent. It normally takes me pulling the handles 4-5 times for it to register (no probs on the passenger door) so I want to change it. Do I need to take the door panel off again to do so or can I remove it...

    Should I change these tyres?

    My front tyres are worn out and need changing. That's the easy bit. My rear tyres are in very good condition with lots of tread left on them (probably 6mm or more) but are 6 years old (2007). I have 2 sets of wheels for my car so these haven't been on the car all that time, just the last 2...

    Any insurance experts on here

    My neighbour has just been hit on a roundabout by an Albanian, driving a car with Albanian licence plates. She has an independent witness and a police report as she called the police because the other driver couldn't speak much English. She has the car licence plate and a photograph of his...

    Looking for a 'How to' guide

    So finally bought replacement door handles from Karl (thanks mate :-). I'm sure there was a how to remove the inside of the door on this site but can't seem to find it and the search tool doesn't seem to want to search for me. If anyone can put a link here I would appreciate it. Thanks

    Last few days have noticed a much faster drain on the battery since updating. Thought nothing of it until I was chatting to another iphone user who said the same thing. Has this happened to you?

    What do you think is a good salary?

    Reading a post by Mike on here reminded me of a conversation I had with the wife (many times!!!!!). How much is a good salary? Unlike other conversations, this is not a thread on us posting what we earn or whether we are paid well for the job we have. Leave what the job is out for now and...

    Corsa VXR Nurburgring

    Saw one of these in the flesh (lovely green colour) and have to say, it looked the business. So much smarter than the standard VXR and not as chavvy either. I would be quite happy to own one :chair:

    Bumper not flush with wing

    Hi all My bumper has popped out slightly and although I can push it back, keeps popping out. I have heard that the clips can weaken if the bumper is taken off but my bumper hasn't ever been removed. Is this an easy problem to fix? Thanks

    22mpg wtf!!!!

    Having just had a full service and cambelt change, I thought I might as well try some VPower too. Now my car only really gets used for fun miles which is why on normal driving I only get 25mpg (closer to 30mpg on the motorway). I have gone through a full tank of Vpower and my computer is...
