Does the dealer use the OBD-II port? I am having issues with the OBD_II port on my car. The reader I bought cannot connect to the ECU. I tried about 6 months ago and couldn't get a reader to connect then, so went to the dealer to and they were able to pull the codes for me using the tools...

What are the details of the so-called "showroom tax"? From April next year, the drivers of the most polluting cars will pay vehicle excise duty of £440. Then from April 2010, people buying new models that are the most polluting will pay vehicle excise duty of £950 in their first year of...

Found an intresting phrase in the latest owner's handbook...... "Modification work on the brake system and wheels is not permitted, nor is the use of spacer plates or brake dust shields. This invalidates the General Operating Permit for the vehicle." So what is this General Operating Permit...

I see this vehicle now and again in London: Have never figured out what it's for - any ideas? It has those roller doors / blue lights / floodlights all the way round (along with "KEEP CLEAR - 4 METRES" signs). The gentlemen in the front (about 5 of them?) wear dayglo waistcoats with...

Today whilst driving through Liverpool to work, I saw a Nissan Micra with a towbar :crazy: Sorry no pics but thought I would share this with you as I didn't think it was really a towing vehicle

FYI Had a letter in the post from this company. I've phoned and checked them out as i'd never heard of them before or had any contact from selling previous cars, especially with low mileage. They are legit. I think this a great idea that Dealers are asking for information before selling the...

Did a quick search and couldn't find anything on this already. Come across a handy tool for checking first date of registration, CO2 emissions, and road tax rate. Particularly useful when looking for cars registered in 2006, that may fall into Band G. The difference in road tax makes a...

I'm thinking of getting a tracker fitted for insurance purposes... Am I right in thinking that there are only 2 kings: GSM and GPS? Of which the GPS can be real-time (Active) or historical (passive); right? Any you would recommend? Is there a review site? I can't find too much...

For various complicated reasons it looks like I'm going to have to overlap my new Vito Dualiner and old VW Sharan for maybe a month. Unfortunately the insurance on the Sharan expires just before the Vito is due to arrive. So the plan is to use the NCD from the VW on the Vito's new policy, and...

A step onto the evil side... Not too sure this is "general" motoring, but its motoring none-the-less! I'm looking at a "Tactica" ... thing... Its not a car, its a beast! These are the specs I have; But beyond that, not much! Has anyone ever heard of these? My biggest query is: how big...

I need some wiring looms for some leather seats I have acquired. How do I use the VIN from the car they came from to get them?
