So now I'm wondering whether I'm going to need an external antenna for

They seem to have changed the previous Golf deal, but this looks superb

Nothing to do with the story below , But years ago I heard the story of
a guy who worked at the Linwood plant and a few weeks before Hillman
Hunter production finished - he ran his own oldish Hillman Hunter
through the production line and it practically came out a new car with

Have just bought a 02 plate C5 and need help figuring out the Traffic
Master Oracle. I don't think there is a current subscription in place.
When I press and release the Traffic Master button it says 'Traffic
Master' and that is all I get out of it, the light in the centre of the ...

Does anyone think it might have been quicker with PSM turned on?

I always thought that BMW named their cars by means of series number then

Can someone please tell me how to manually tune the radio? The user guide

Bought a 2000 Renault Scenic for £3500 a few months ago from a local
garage. Had a few problems after a couple of days and the car went back

Since I haven't had much luck googling I'll try in here: are there any legal
regulations about travelling to the UK in a continental European car with
Xenon headlights? I know there are (or at least used to be) kits for taping
conventional (halogen) headlights to elimate glare, but ...

tried all the local car spares places, even halfords, but no-one seems
to sell front wiper blades for the Citroen C8/Pug 807 other than main

I don't fancy paying main dealer prices /c;

Tell me what you think of this car on www.freewebs.com/kevin10078

Did anyone see the Fifthgear programme last night when they did crash tests
