tomtom GO 40 with live traffic?
My very old tomtom has given up the ghost. I bought the safety camera update years ago, once. It still works, it hasn't been updated, but the info/cameras loaded at the time are still there. I need to buy a new one, I use the M25 & connecting motorways & main roads, so I think live traffic would be great. Ive found this…

Unipart car battery
All, Might not be the right forum - but gotta start somewhere ;-) I bought a car a year ago with a Unipart battery in it - which has a 4 year guarantee. The battery has an issue and won't charge. But I was not the purchaser of the battery, and Unipart was bought by a few different companies. The price of a new battery is…

HPI milage request
Hi, sorry if it's the wrong thread, but today i've had a letter from HPI asking the milage of a previous vehicle when i sold it.

Hi, had a letter from Ford, recalling my 06 reg C max for a repair to the Engine cooling fan control module. Has anyone taken their car in yet? I was just curious how long Ford take to fix the fault. I want to know if I can take the car to the closest Ford dealership myself and wait (if it is less than 30 mins). Or if it…

Insurance situation
Just wanted to share how ridiculous the current UK insurance guidelines are! I turned 25 last Monday. My insurance has now dropped from £1000 to £400! Obviously I'm very happy with the change, but find it ridiculous how I'm less of a risk being one year older! Anyone else had similar huge decreases in price?

I have max 8K to spend. As you can see from my list I am not pushing to spend whole 8K I have available. I am looking for a reliable car. My commute is 100 miles a day.

How is this happening?
On a car which generates on DC voltage (positive and ground), how am I seeing -1.4V on the radiator and across the engine? Make and model isn't really important here before anyone asks - rare as hell and nobody knows about them (specialists refuse to get involved). I'm just wondering how I can be getting -1.4V when the…

VW Golf Estate - Roof bars and top box?
Your recommendations please. Never had a roof box. Moving house and think I'm gonna need extra space. Then fit bikes subesquently once we've moved. Thule seems to be the best but they are expensive. Roofbox.co.uk seem a good website. Are Halfords any good? Oh yes and can I then take them and put 'em on a Skoda Yeti - my…
