Hi, I've just bought a car derived van, which is a car taken from the production line and instead of rear seats, has a full floor, up to the front seat, with a bulkhead. What I want to know, is it legal to remove it? I'm thinking of the safety reasons for having one, to stop e,g, parcels in the...

Hi A, I think you'll find that they can, and earlier, I said that once they do there will be quite an uprest. Of course I realise what you are saying, but if I go out to country lanes, and find a footpath, I feel free if I'm 'lost'. I know I can switch my phone on and 'they' can check where I...

Hi A, New. As mentioned previously, I know they all have SIM cards, and if wanted the police can stop a vehicle. It will be interesting once they start using this, as I think it would wake many up! In a way I don't mind them monitoring data for use in improving etc, as the bee in my bonet is...

Hi, Well! I bought a car, after kind of accepting the inevitable, to find that the connections had not been set up, so the car is 'clean' When I switch on (hybrid) a screen pops up asking if I want to notify the manufacturer of such things as location, I click NO, and the car runs. It will...

Hi, Interesting! I measured with the pilot light for an hour 0.018/mtr3 XHrs/week 168 =3.024mtr3 I switched off the pilot light for a day and no consumption. As mentioned pilot lights are a B*****r to light sometimes so I used this: Thanks all C.

Hi, My son took those photos, so today I'm starting to check again. With only the pilot light, I've read the meter, and I'll check again later, then I'll stop the pilot light and leave it for a day. C

HI O, Here's the 2x photos. 28-08-24 and 04-09-24 C

Hi, I have a Housewarmer economy 44 back boiler 1986. It keeps heating the house and water, so I leave well alone. I was away for a few weeks, so switched it off, but it has a pilot light. My son read the meter for a week, and the gas consumption was 3 cubic meters. This seems far to much...

As above, I passed on all of yoru comments, which will be told to the mechanic foreman, if the noise returns after the car wash. Thanks. C.

Hi Y, This car is in Canada, and I'm now in England, so I can't do much about it now. C

Hi B, If the noise is coming from the pistons, I doubt that the water jets, would affect them, do you? C

Hi J, I imagine this would have been spotted on strip down. C

Hi C, I agree, also clean discs again. C

Hi J, The intial clean involded stripping the moving parts down, using degrease kit for the pads etc, clean pins etc and re-assemble. As mentioned this cured the noise for app 4 days. C

Hi, Earlier I stood next to the car while it was squelching still, and it was only on one side, and to me seemed like the brakes and pads. After the initial test and clean, it took a few days before the noise came back. Today, we put the car though a car wash, so jets of soapy water into the...

Hi, The system has been stripped and cleaned and the fluid flushed, but didn't cure it. I suspect the pads, although they have plenty of life left. Is it possible they've got contaminated. Has anyone heard noises like I describe before with other cars? C.

Hi, There is a strange noise coming from the brakes of a VW Tiguan, 2010. As the car is stopping, just before stopping, there's a kind of squelchy noise, a bit like a wash leather or rubber on glass. This is the best I can describe it. Has anyone got any ideas, whether it is dangerous or...

Hi S, Consider the taps at the side and the plug at this end. C

Hi B, Get the council to finalise the application, however long it takes. You may want to sell it sometime, and cracks may have appeared by then. Their buying survey, would spot this :( C
