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

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.
