Removing a polish smell Need to remove a polish smell thats inside the neighbours recently purchased one year old Citroen.

It wont stay shut by itself When working on my car, I bring it right up close to the house and lay my tools out on the floor behind the front door.

Remote unlock using phone? A colleague said that a Skoda garage told her she could phone a friend (in possession of her spare key) if she ever lost hers. It would unlock the car. Is this possible? Rob the Gullible ... 12 Jun 2010 17:08
Audi A3 Alarm Mate has a 9 month old Audi A3 fitted with the factory alarm. It goes off for no apparent reason - but only after dark. He's at his place in Spain (minus the car) for the summer, and I'm looking after things here. Luckily, a next door neighbour also has a set of the car keys as I live a short way off and wouldn'... 4 Jun 2010 14:49

The rear indicator bulb has blown, she has asked me to fit a new bulb.

Oil leak Zetec-E 1.8i on Mondeo Hi Chaps, I have an oil leak on my Mondeo. It is a petrol 1.8i Zetec-E motor with 120,000 on the clock.

Does anyone know where exactly this... 6 Jun 2010 11:39 |
