Cruise is awesome, just the other day I drove from the Severn Bridge junction of the M49 all the way to J25 of the M5 without touching a pedal. It's soooo much more relaxing. The biggest benefit I find is that it takes away the need to keep one eye on the speedo, you can concentrate on what's going ...

Taxi Drivers eh? spend all day riding around listening to the radio.... :roll: Some cracking tunes there though Supa. I can see I'm gonna have give this some consideration.... I'll start with... Springsteen - The River The Wonderstuff - Here Comes Everyone The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon U2 - ...

Does your area have one of these mobile businesses that seem to be sprouting up in recent years, there's a couple around here. Basically they specialise in minor damage of this nature. I'm told that if the paint's OK they can usually pull a small dent out, without causing any further damage, for abo...

Hello folks, As some of you know, we just had the BSI unit replaced on SWMBO's 206. This is the first bit of work the car has needed, therefore the first time the battery has been disconnected. Problem was I didn't have the code for the radio, and when I went to pick the car up from my local main st...

....and it's back, £375.

They changed the BSI as predicted above (well done James )

Tell you what though, I hate these electrical faults on modern cars! You get charged but you don't know what you've spent your money on.

UPDATE: It's been misbehaving on and off yesterday but was fine this morning, so I took it to see Neil. Neil's diagnostic didn't find any fault codes, then after I got it home it died again and nothing we could do would make it work again, so out came mr RAC man. He diagnosed a suspect "body control...

Don't know why they'd want a P though

They need the "P" because they can't find a "d", no hang on, they'd have to have a brain to work that out!

I've got a handy cleaning tip. Take your car 'round to Neil Davies' house then stand by it talking bolox for an hour. Neil can't stand to see wax residue on your faded black trim, and after a little while he can no longer resist the temptation to reach for his auto glym products. The wife's car may ...

Well it behaved itself all day today, including an hour at the test station, so we're now in posession of a shiny new ticket.

Perhaps the gremlins are malicious wee buggers who just like to see car owners fret. Time will tell eh?

Right here's a strange one for you. Driving the wifey's 206 last night along a duel carriageway, indicated - no indicators. Quick button jabbing and lever poking session confirmed that there were no indicators (or hazards), or wipers. Figured it must be a fuse so pulled off the road and straight int...

Doh!!!

What are you like?

Is yours a d8 or a d9 chili?

Hey you don't have to do that! We're not shy, we accept all sorts in here, even drivers of inferior vehicles

We'll miss you mate, drop in now and again to keep this rabble in order!...

£55!!! I'm not paying that!!! :shock: :cheesy: :lol: Seriously though, I'll be shopping from the £35 to £45 range on mytyres. I got a bloke promising to fit & balance them for £5 a corner so that ain't bad. I haven't ordered them yet though 'cos the wife's car must come first, her MOT is due soon :c...

Hmmm interesting... but I can't find toyo proxes t1-r or t1-s in my size (standard 195/65/R15 91H), as welts said looks like they only do "sporty" sizes. What about proxes CF 1? I like the look of them, they're really cheap!!

Any other recommendations?
