I'm applying it once a week at the moment. Either that or I'm just lucky with the C.L.

Hi Pesky Wabbit    sounds like a good idea     I do use W D  a lot for other things  but I didn't expect to have to use it on a two week old car       bit of a down side on our car there is only one key hole      but since that is the door we had the prob with might try it     thanks

Hi Telboy     if it does come back just  let us know    you never know  it may not happen again          the car we had before this one  the drivers window decided not to come up like betula s     it would go up and down a little way in jerks    eventually it went up all the way       it was weeks before i used the window while out   i kept trying it out at home   it didn't go wrong again

Do you remember the  OLD DAYS  when the only time the window wouldn't go down  was if the winding handle fell off   

now you have lights coming on for things you don't even know you have got   alarms that sound if your seat belts off at 2 mph   another for the hand brake

when an alarm goes off now we have to go through a pre flight check  to see what the prob is

in closing     checked the manual out for a little information on the radio   7pages of information  :o :o  and I still don't know how to switch it off

what was wrong with the old    "Blue Spot"   switch for on and off  one for m & Long   Volume & Tuning  ???

Showing your age now Ray! ;) New tech high tech way to go!

I was taking my poorly dog to the vet today. She's only little - a cocker spaniel. Since she was feeling rotten I let her sit on the passenger seat and, of course, she set of the beeper. So I had to put the seatbelt on. It's a Toyota so maybe it's faulty?
Only joking it's the best car I've ever had. Too good for me really! ;)

nothing wrong with toyota's   :D  but thats what i'm  talking about  the car we have now  & before  had a high pitched intermittent beep going on   played havoc with my tinnitus so while we were looking for the culprit I switched both my hearing aids off   then noticed the hand brake was on  only by one notch   but there you go

maybe if you could get them all to go off at the same time you could pick a nice tune out   

ACE:
I  have reasoned out the answer to all of  your troubles. Don't buy cheap cars! What you pay is what you get. Rubbish.

I would not bother with a small engined tinny honkoneese/tiawan/korean etc. pedal car

I fancy one of those Jaguar diesel estates I could pile all my tools in the back, tow my gippo holiday home and be comfortable and reliable. And a real gas guzzler as well. Don't worry I'll leave my fridge open for 10 minutes a day to counteract global warming.
