Last year I knew a number you could text a reg to, and it would send back a
couple of SMS' with brief HPI info in. Only cost a couple of quid... can
anyone recall it (or similar?)
Thanks!

Tried one out today but the road noise seemed obtrusive.
Has anyone tried one yet? Would be interested to hear
if anyone concurs. Tyres Michelin - 17" Rims. No review I
can find mentions this.

Saw some Met police cars in Portsmouth area today, with thier blue
lights on, with a plain land rover in the middle, looks a bit odd,
because they're way out of the Met area, any ideas what that was all
about?

I've noticed a slight drop in MPG lately, and on a forum I read so have
several others with diesel cars, as has my brother-in-law. Normally I'd
expect slightly better summer MPG.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

Thinking of buying a SUV and I'm torn between the Rav4 and Tucson, they both look very similar styling wise and the performaces are near identical,  obviously Toyota has the edge on reliability but the Hyundai has a 5 year warranty, also the Rav4's start at around 20 grand ...

The complete f.cking w.nker on the A32 yesterday, driving an M3 CSL. He
was driving just a few inches behind a classic Royce, but for some
reason had decided to straddle the white line, so that he was preventing
anyone from overtaking both cars, which were driving at about 20mph.

Be careful. I saw a transit on the hardshoulder. It was sat in front of
a tasty looking silver 3 series.
With popup stop signs and flashers concealed in the standard lights.
You wouldn't spot it among the rest of the semi-sporty beemers.

The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my
motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars.
First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow
down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into

The maximum speed allowed on any road is 70mph yet some cars are
manufactured to go up to several times faster than this.
Why don't the government just make a law against selling cars that go
faster than this speed?

The load liner for my  406 estate has a couple of holes / cracks in it. I'd
like to seal them up, but whatever I use needs to be flexible as the thing
needs to bend to actually get in through the tailgate, and a few of the
cracks in it are from the bending. My first thoughts are ...

Now this is not a scam, unlike the water idea.

The speedo on my Peugeot 406 has been acting up, giving
inaccurate readings. On starting out it remains at 0mph for a
mile or two and then behaves properly for a while. Then it
either wavers about up or down, or it remains at 30mph or so

I am looking to buy a TVR Chimera in the next few weeks, but wife is keen on
getting a car she can drive to.  To make a TVR safer for my wife I was
thinking of some sort of Wife mode (like the teenager keys on some cars).
My first though was something in the air intake to reduce ...

Don't suppose you have a couple of old 16 spline half shafts gathering dust?

A while back I decided to build a hydrogen generator to help save
money on my fuel bill. My ex-husband had built one and installed it on
his car and was saving a ton of money. His fuel mileage had doubled!

SWMBO surprised me recently by asking that I show her how to do the
basic spannering required by her car.
So far she has changed the oil & filters, stripped and cleaned the brake

I'm trying to fit an XCarLink iPod adaptor in to my Nissan Almera.  The car
is an 04 plate with the standard radio/cd installed.
I've plugged the link plug in to the back of the stereo (into the cd changer
port) and put 12v on the Bat & Acc wires, but I can't get the stereo to

I have removed the radio and removed the panel that has the hazard

I have an Alpine CDA-9812RB, with stereo sub pre-out, and AFAIK no
provision for switching to mono out. I have a bridgeable mono amp for
a sub that I'm going to fit in the rear of the car, and fortunately
the battery is under the rear seats.

I have just bought a clio which has a roadstar cd-352mp cd mp3 player fitted
and unfortunatly no adapter for stalk adapter so am selling it and wanting

anyone who has one to sell or wants to swap for the ...

I went to my local garage this morning - the one that has looked after
MOTs and welding on all my cars for the last 33 years - and it has

I'm considering, if it's possible to find one, getting a Austin (or
Leyland, I think to be more accurate) Princess for my wife. A 2000HL or
2000HLS Princess 2, which I think means circa 1978-1981.
I've seen that there are one or two still about in good shape but they
