I was just enquiring for a mate, he left his car in an unsecure overnight carpark on Friday night and it was torched during the night completly gutted the car, he was wondering how long does it take for the insurance to stump up with the money as he's without a car completley now, its declaired...

I've just put my old JVC mp3 headunit into my car basically I've lost the JVC to ISO connector and I wanted to run an amp I was wondering does anyone know where I run the remote wire too baring in mind the connection for it was on the JVC to ISO which I no longer have.

Spotted you up near Tolworth going to Surbiton Kingston way. I was in a Silver Saxo VTR.

My back left caliper is making a weird noise when freerolling almost like it's metal on metle but its just had the pads done, any ideas what it could be? it started off as a rumble like a bearing but it's continuous scraping now.

Whats the proper view on these, are the horror storys true do they make your wheels fall off, eat your bearings etc.. I need 20mm ones for my new wheels and a little worried about using them.

Can you have it so you go along and certain POI's are displayed on the maps all the time such as you could have it set for a little fuel sign for every petrol station etc..?

When do the Insurance companys want their excess? I had a crash about nine months ago and I was paying monthly so I let the policy run it's corse as because I've crashed the whole policy becomes due in full plus I was still using the car so I thought best let it run. The policy runs out at...

The shock on my Dad's car is ever so slightly leaking and his MOT is due end of the week would it pass with a slight leak or is a straight fail? If it's a fail is there anyway of getting it thru ie spraying something over the shocks etc.. he's getting them done next month wants two changed...

I've just had to go through a flooded road, the water was coming upto half my bumper maybe more, the whole radiator is covered in leaves and s**t does anyone know the best way to clean it as I dont want anything melting on it. Thanks!

I've mounted my satnav on my centerconsole blowers it looks great and is in the perfect position, all is great 5 bar signal etc.. until I turn my CD player on then I loose all signal. Is there anyway I can stop this and keep it in the same position bare in mind its right above the headunit.

I've got some Matt Black sprayed wheels which some knob has sprayed OVER the little weights that you balance the wheels with as they were on the outside of the rim. Can you balance around these or will they have to be removed as my wheels shake above 60. If they're removed i'm left with some...

I fitted some used Black powdercoated standard alloys today to replace my heavly kerbed standard alloys. My old wheels front tyres were sitting on the limiter, on the fronts. They were all Michellin Pilot Sports. Anyhow, my new wheels have a mixture of Avon, Michellin and Nexium all with...

I've brought some aftermarket Red LED lights (not lexus type) they look quite subtle so I'm pleased with them. Only problem being they like 99% of all aftermarket lights let water in, makes my old Clio's sunroof look waterproof lol. Okay it isn't that bad but what I mean is when I washed the...

Will probably regret posting this as I might well get some stick. Reparing a scuff on my bumper I got overspray on the black rub strip which runs along the top of the bumper. So I decided to safe cut it, why? dunno lol. It's obviously taken the top layer off and now the section of the bump...

I think I might have ruined one of my Pioneer coaxials, every time I play music I get this horrible smell from the right hand side one. I dont know how to describe it but it gets right up your nose almost toxic like, The best way I could descibe it is if a moth hits a light and gets fried...

Theres got to be something wrong with my car I've owned it for a month its been fine till recently i.e in the period of two weeks I've gone through three brake light bulbs and now the rear number plate bulbs are out. I thought I heard a ping as well when I was reversing after starting up, I...

The glass on my passenger side headlight managed to fall out today, a common problem on the phase 3's. Any idea if I could just buy the glass from somewhere and silicon it in, looking at prices for the headlight nearing 40 quid plus it's quiet a mission to fit.

How much power loss if any will the primary amp lose?

Its a MK2 Phase 1. Very "normal" looking, I got slated for lexus lights etc.. but atleast my old car had some charactor this is too sensible at the moment. Going to put some clear side repeters on it I'm just after some other ideas, don't think I'll go with lexus lights on this car, am I...

Looking at some alloys which fit Renaults, they're 35 offset - would that be alright the tyre size is 195-45-15, Don't want to drop my car too much hassle - changing it soon anyhow. 14" alloys is what I currently got and they look fine standard height what would 15"s look like without being...

Been done loads before I know - I have searched. Anyway, I've siliconed the aerial around the outside of it so I don't think it's that, the water seems to get in when the car is parked up so I'm assuming sunroof - it's an electric sunroof I was parked on a slight decline today so any water on...

About 12:30pm Coming down the road that leads from Tolworth to Surbiton, Sorry I don't know the name of the road. Pretty sure it had a Cliosport sticker couldn't be too sure as you was actually moving I was in stop start traffic which was moving at the time so couldn't look behind me for too long.

To start with I get a shower from my sunroof or aerial whilst going round a corner, something I used to take in my stride but it hasn't done it for ages. Then; the electic sunroof which broke ages ago must be due to all the water getting into it starts to work again. Now I've just noticed...

Any way to rejuvenate them? The seals have gone south on mine and they just sit on the spark plugs instead of grip them which I think might be linked to my slight misfire. As it started today whilst going round a roundabout - I'm no Eienstine (Hell I can't even spell his name) but as the...

I've just got a new bulb put in my foglight, But I'm paranoid if I ever need to use them (pretty much daily as I go down country roads) that I might be blinding another driver, how do I adjust them?

If I stand at the back of my car I can hear the exhaust blowing, almost sounds like a slight misfire but it's not, if I put a rag over the exhaust I can't stall the car either. It sounds like its coming from the back but I cant feel any leak, does sound mean much with regards to exhausts ie if...

In Oct I hit another car coming the other way, I was turning and pulled out in front of her. Anyhow the claim still hasn't offically been settled, she wants the usual compo what with her being on deaths door with whiplash and smeared makeup. Anyway, my old car which was in the crash has...
