For a young driver which car would you go for - I've had a 2003 mini cooper for the last year but I now need a new car as my current mini needs replacing due to being in a non-fault accident.
Has anyone got any helpful pointers to help me make a decision.
I have found a ford ka that I like but the engine is 1297cc and my dad thinks that its too big. Is it too big for a first time driver? Is a 1297cc a 1.3?
Ford ka 2001 radio code and I don't have the serial code either?
Turning on dipped headlights on 2005 Ford KA?
Added (1). The toggle on the left of the wheel has the little notch in it that I turn once to get side lights on, and then another turn takes it to symbol for both dipped and full headlights (both next to each other). So far if I turn it to that second notch it will turn on the full beam headlights, but can't see how to turn it to dipped. There's a dial to the left of the wheel with the dipped headlights symbol, but when I scroll that up and down, makes no difference.
Ford ka 07 electric window has stopped working. Does anyone know the best/quickest way to just get it shut?
Added (1). Over the last week or so my window has only worked intermittently when it feels like it. When it works it works fine but when it doesn't the controls on driver and passenger side don't work at all. Sometimes opening and shutting the door would fix it temporarily. Today it's given up and the driver side window is down half way. I have a long car journey to make and I'm looking for a way to get the window shut. Fixing it in the process would be great, but getting it shut is the priority.
I've just bought a ford KA and want to get a sound upgrade for it, although I know nothing about cars. I don't want to get a subwoofer but I don't know what my other options are. I've been looking at stereos but will this actually improve the sound or is it just there to look cool? Any help/ suggestions appreciated
I have a 2002 ford ka which is fitted with an electric sunroof but this doesn't work. I have checked all fuses listed for the sunroof but they all seem fine. At the switch in the head lining there's just earth s no power. Does anyone have any idea what's happening.
My window will not do up on my 03 ford ka street, not illuminated either how easy is this to fix? - 1
I have a ford Ka. Recnetly, I accidentally broke the near side front wheel by hitting it heavily on to a curb, the rim was bent not sure about the tyre(hope it survived…)
Then, I replaced it with my spare(full size), the car runs ok with the spare, doesn't pull to one side but I don't know if it will have any problem in the future, because I heard that if a car runs with pair of tyres that are different it will end up with imbalance tyre wear and suspension damage etc. Particularly the front tyres.
I came up with a couple of considerations:
1. Just get a new pair at front, but it seems to be a waste of money as both the spare I'm using and the other front tyre have a lot of tread depth(can last at least one and half year but the tread depth of the spare should be definitely deeper, so the front tyres are different).
2.Keep using the spare as a normal tyre(it is full size), get a new spare tyre. (As my worry above, will it affect my car as I drive it more and more) Do I need to get a tyre balance If I do this?
3.Still get a new spare and swap the rear tyres with front tyres. Because I think rear tyres doens't matter a lot as long as I get the pressure right.
What is the best way to do considering both safety and cost?
