The problem with buying a used car is the little things that have gone wrong before, that have been on the "to-do" list of the previous owner but still not been done. My load cover has a "broken" clip for attaching to the tailgate. I say "broken" because almost all the pieces are present and...

Right folksies, any interest in my S class? The garage I've dumped it at reckon it's a suspect faulty ECU that's causing it to start but not open the throttle. I've no time to sort it out with my new job and I'm moving into a new flat next week so it has to go. It's a 1997 S320, it's had 2...

As most of you will know we recently got an Audi A8 for SWMBO which is a fantastic car any way when it came it had a couple of minor faults on it. The electric ariel had stopped working, and there was a strange clicking noise from behind the dash which at first we thought was something to do...

Hi All, Our W210 AG Instrument Pod has problems with both side LCD displays. Sections of the LCD matrices are not working so full characters are not displayed. This in turn, turns the time, temperature and gear indicator info into meaningless hieroglyphics. Oh what fun we had playing the...

After nearly 2 years of largely trouble free use, I bounced the Vaio off the living room floor today and seemed to have provoked a couple of problems.. The body of the laptop is now warped and rocks on its feet which is annoying although not terminal.. More worryingly, the screen will...
