Hi guys. This may be a dumb question but I recently got my 106 1.5 XND
which is a P reg phase 2 and was wondering if they have a reverse
light? The last time I had a car that didn't have one was my first a

My friend has reported a problem with her car.  Vauxhall Astra Bertone

Our Toyota Estima automatic has started not pulling away at first when it's

running a few minutes it's OK.

Lots of these on the aftermarket which dim out the light after a set
period. But any which fade it *on* as well - like modern BMWs and others?
Or even a circuit of one? Lots of circuits for dimming out ones found on
Google, but not any for both on and off.

My love affair with LPG is being strained to the limit at the moment.
Saturday night, I dropped into my local Shell Station, to fill up with LPG.

No changes are made to the already potent 600hp 8.4-liter aluminum
V10, however, the suspension receives KW coilovers that are adjustable

My granddaughter has a 1.3 Ford KA, but not got the  log book back from
swansea yet and wish to the tappets which are noisey. I have the VIN number
if it helps??
I need to know the exact year of car also?
