I have a VW Golf (when it's not in the garage being fixed, see VW Golf
engine fell out...) and the previous owner fitted Recaro seats front
and back. Ordinarily the car should have heated front seats and
although the plugs are there I don't think the mechanism is fitted into

I have a Honda Accord 2.0 SE, 2001 model.  My wife was driving the M25 today
and the car started making a noise, which to cut a long story short, stopped
