As per topic title. Doesn't affect the driving but I want to check the oil and refill the screenwash. Can do neither. Have jiggled around with the thingy with a screwdriver (you know what I mean!) but to no avail. The locking mechanism can't be buggered because it closes perfectly well. Any...

My alarm keeps going off and destroying the wintry peace of my street for no good reason. I have a replacement battery, but how the hell do I get the back off the fob to replace it? Have buckled a kitchen knife trying to do it so far! Cheers

My car's making a noise again. When I brake. It's the graunchy thing, this time coming from the rear. The reason I mention the CV joint is that last year, the car I'm driving now broke out into song midway between home and Cheshire, garnering me rather curious looks from passers-by. It went...

....doesn't work. Like the radio and the alarm. Oh goody! Any ideas of how much to repair? Ta

....keeps going off of its own accord. I can lock it using the key itself, you know, the old-fashioned way, and it's fine, but to walk away from it, centrally locking as I go isn't an option anymore. It woke me up this morning at 4am, cheeky fecker. Any ideas? As you'll see, I'm also posting to...

As per topic title. It'll hold a signal for 20 minutes before dissolving into nothing. Not even hiss. Just nuffink' Very frustrating when I want to hear those cliff-hanger conclusions to Radio 4 plays. (No sniggering at the back, please). Barring getting a new radio thingy, any (tentative)...

Only on one side, the right. The left had its steering arm replaced earlier this year after I'd driven into a kerb to avoid an old duffer in a Peugeot from crashing into the side of me. :evil: Anyway, just recently, when I steer a hard right, for example, to park, there's an arthritic...

Last weekend, I fell 60 foot off a mountain and had to be stretchered off by Mountain Rescue. I can barely walk and am getting shooting pains all over the place. The day before was my 30th and several important people in my life forgot it. One of them, my sister, and I hadn't spoken for 3 months...

G'day Possums, Could any of you kind people, possibly with the assistance of a big, colour photo, tell me where my fanbelt is? I went to Halfords today with the intention to get a fanbelt, but apparently, they don't have them for 'your kind of car.' Ho hum. Anyway, I bought a can...

At the front of the car - nothing to do with clutch or gears, thank God - my car, at speeds of over generally 70mph, occasionally makes a noise like two bits of rubber slowly and loudly rubbing against each other. I checked under the bonnet today in a nominal fashion - looked like the same old...

What's the word? Challenging? Is that socially acceptable to use? Sorry, just going through the post-Christmas huge argument breakdown and it's not easy. Especially to learn that your sister is going to Australia for Xmas 2009, my parents are off to New York and whilst I outwit them with an...

Er, it was last marked up at its MOT in March last year <ducks> and am off work 'til Thursday so am thinking of getting it done, 'cos it's getting quite noisy. How much approx should I be paying, including labour as I'm a girl and bereft of male friends at present time who would normally get...

My car's going to the garage on Saturday as I think my driveshafts are dying. Car makes a roaring noise over about 60mph, a noise which goes away when the clutch is depressed. Might need the wheel bearings looking at, too. Anyway, how much wallet damage am I looking at? And if anyone wants to...

Is it 3 parts of water to 1 part coolant?

....I drove home yesterday and there was a slightly weird smell coming from my car after I'd parked up; kinda sweet, but odd. Then, I've just pulled up at home right now and the temperature gauge was on the red and whilst driving, I put the heater on 'cos it was fuggin cold and just got cold...

...happens when I hit 80mph or just past (yeah yeah yeah to all you legal eagles!) And then, at just after 85mph, it stops. It returns though, when I drop back down through 85, 84, 83 etc, too... . No idea what it is. Everything else is fine. No shakes through the steering wheel or gearstick Ta

First Liane Carroll went disappearing into the CD changer never to be seen again. Today, another went. There's a bizarre grinding sound and then it comes over all, 'What? I ate your CD?! Don't talk such rubbish!' and flashes up 'No CDs' at me when I press the 'eject' button. What do I do? Ta

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to those on PP2 who negotiated with Adrian Flux; they've quoted me and have shaved £300 off my renewal quote so having this extra discount will help even more Fantastic work from (I'm guessing) Matt, Dal and Cherie Cheers Sarah

I was driving to Manchester today and suddenly, my car started to make that weird wowly noise, normally indicative of brake pads going. But I had the front ones done earlier in March. Could it be the backs? And if so, how much, etcetcetc.... Ta

....anyone else like bold, choppy, US gee-tar bands like those?
