Feck me. Touch a raw nerve did I????? :bannana: Then again, I don't have the Massive bill to pay each and every month on my very expensive rustmobile like some on here. That is the advantage of being smart, capable and so much wiser than many of you. Oh, and exceptionally modest too.:D Talk to...

I love this on ALL forums. People tend to get the right hump if anyone dares to say anything even slightly less than complimentary about their magnificent marque. But the truth of the matter is that the volvo will not be falling apart with rust and is as reliable as any Mercedes. I have had...

You will NOT regret it. A far better car by far.

All autos should creep in D unless as stated above you have selected a higher gear.

My genuine interest in this is from a safety angle. ANY excessive speed is a major contribution to many deaths each year. 1mph can and sometimes does make the difference befween life and death. In towns you will very often get there just as quickly at 30mph as you would at 40mph. I frequently...

Most aircon compressors will not activate the clutch if the pressure is low, so that is normal. My usual advise is to make sure you get an aircon specialist who will vacuum the enttire system out before repalcing the PAG oil and die, with the relevant amount of R134a. Kwik fit are not a bad...

2 things spring to mind. 1. That heap should be crushed immediately. 2. you have too much time on your hands.:D

If the temp is set to 16c and the temperature outside is higher (say 20c), then you are asking the car to cool down, so yes it will start the AC.

And be honest. Has it stopped you from speeding?

Or theft, depending on the circumstances!:D

Biggest problem with aircon is lack of use in winter. You should use aircon regularly throughout the year. Contray to poular belief, it can be used hot as well as cold and is the best possible way of demisting a car in winter. Not a lot of people know that! By not using in the winter, the...

True. But just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD!

Tasteless, vulgar and crude. Looks like a council house chav let loose in Harrods. Utterly vile and frankly appalling.:mad:

Who would I have said anything to? The car was parked on its own without a driver. A simple note (I never said post it notes BTW) on the windscreen would have brought it to their attention. What is strange about that? The tyre was bad but I can assure you I have come across much worse.

I have not responded to this thread before now, but will today from three angles. 1 from a police perspective, one from a driving instructors perspective and one from a level headed member of the public. Because of my military, police and driving instructor training, I am one of those that...

Ooooooh this is intriguing. I am taking a wild guess that the mileage has gone backwards? I may be completely wrong of course, sounds interesting though. do tell...... As for £500 off. Naaaahhh. That is not good negociating. If it is up for just shy of £19k, they probably paid no more than...

I think you just hit it on the head. There was a spate of this in the late 80's/early 90's with VW badges. One of the many problem of lowlife scumdog inbred unwashed trailer trash wandering our streets with no ambition or prospect of ever actually working for a living. And when our good selves...

Just a wild stab in the dark, but is this your first automatic? :eek: Gera change in automatics depends on several factors, If you accelerate gently gearchanges will be at lower revs than if you accelerate hard. The red line you refer to sounds like you have floored the accelerator, in which...

The exact same advise was given to Christopher Biggins after 3 weeks in the Jungle: Dear Mr Biggins Re: You intimate issue Do not be tempted to use vaseline,or back to black bumper stuff - they contain aliphatic solvents - although initially it will appear to relieve the problem,the...

Keep your hat on. Do you want it back or not? :devil:
