    This was my reason for asking, Ive been out today and thought sun is shining - I must get my wheels changed. I looked at the temp gauge in the car and it only read 5 degrees.

    Anyone still got their winter tyres on?

    Just wondering if anyone who has got them still have their winter tyres on? I was going to take mine off during that hot spell a couple of weeks ago, but with a holiday coming up (last week) around snowdon I decided to leave them on. Glad I did as there was still plenty off snow about when we...

    Are you happy with the seller of your car?

    I hate selling my cars to someone I know - I always feel guilty if something breaks. Sold a Punto to a friend once and the power steering broke....I felt bad until she reminded me that they'd had it for 3 years without any problems.

    Are you happy with the seller of your car?

    I bought a 306 Gti a few years ago from some wideboy in Nottingham. Didn't realise until a few days later it no Tax on it....my fault for not checking. It wasn't up to my usual high standards really (although never broke down), I knew I'd made a bit of a mistake when I pulled in to put some...

    Why carry a jack and tools?

    My wife's abarth 500 has no spare wheel, jack or wheel brace. Instead a compressor thing with some gunk in a canister. Oh there's an AA card as well.

    We Want Any Car

    this is reason why people who can be bothered are now stripping and selling their old car's in parts - depending on the car your stripping you can make more money than selling it whole (I know I did).

    We Want Any Car

    it's the same as trading in a car, your dealing with a business they are not going to give you anywhere market value. They buy of you cheap and sell on to car dealers quickly making some profit then the car dealer makes more profit when they sell it again. I think the best one I've had was I...

    Seatbelt locking with car parking in sun???

    my seatbelt has started playing up, the other day no matter how I pulled at it (slow/fast/up/down) it would only move half an inch then lock. It took bleedin ages to get it out to put it on. Then the day after all was fine. Then the next afternoon same again locking up at the slightest pull...

    Sneak peak at my new pu.:Rchase.

    maybe it's just me but every time I see a R32 i think - drug dealer! Saw another one today, tints, 4 big blokes in it giving everyone the death eye, driver was a skinhead with tattoos down his neck and driving like a tool....just a bit stereotypical but that's my thoughts.

    someone explain computer processors to me

    I'm currently looking for a new laptop, the Dell I've got is 4 and a half years old and has a 2.00 Ghz processor and 1GB of Ram, at the time this laptop cost £650 so it was what I regarded as a fairly decent spec (well to me it was). The ones I've been looking at now generally have from 2.2...

    Pictures from the Road (pic heavy)

    As an off shoot from this you could start taking photos of people who park in disabled parking spaces (while they are still parking up). See how many you get before you get smacked by some chav (can you still use that word these days thanks to Plan B).

    My Car that Caught Fire

    didn't some recent Peugeot's go through a spate of setting themselves on fire, I think it was either 406' or 206's. I saw that ginger haired b**ch on about it on watchdog a few years ago.

    Draft from driver footwell

    On mine if you looked under the dash on the drivers side there was an open slot about 2 inch by 4 inch. I presumed that it should have had a cover if some kind (I never got round to fixing it). I first noticed it on mine when I drove to Newquay, I set off at midnight and was wearing shorts and...

    Draft from driver footwell

    I've had this and had a thread about it some time ago. Mine looked like it had a infill plate missing from up behind the dash, didn't half give a draft when it was cold outside.
