    Ha, you may have just solved that one. So, there's a, um, button for the fuel filler cap somewhere lol. Better have a look and find it then! At least that's some progress but I'd still like to switch the autolocking off. I certainly couldn't hold my steering wheel on a motorway bend with two...

    Thanks for that. Thinking about it, I seem to recall some paperwork from the Seat dealer where they'd done there own HPI/Write off checks etc. I'll check this out first.

    No aftermarket alarm that I'm aware of, entire care looks completely standard to me. Been like this since I bought it. Only did a short test drive so didn't really notice the steering as it's kind of fine if you're driving around town. Problem is, all these faults are fairly subtle. Seat dealer...

    Yes, that's what needs to be done. My experience with main dealers (not just Honda) has not been good in the past, so it's finding a more capable one that's not too far away. I know of the good one in Stoke mentioned by someone else earlier in the thread. The MPG I'm getting is for mostly...

    Agree the driveshafts shouldn't be worn with such a low mileage, unless they were made out of sub-standard material to begin with, possibility. The cabin noise is def noisier than other cars I've been in, the droning I get is something else though. One of the reasons I bought the car was...

    Crikey, I hope not. Bought it from a SEAT main dealer, they'd have to declare that I believe. The car is immaculate inside and out. No signs of anything like that. I did one of those text message checks before I bought it, I think that would have told me but I'm not sure.

    It has a full Honda service history. It's been serviced by them three times. Don't know if the auto fluid has been changed.

    Possible I guess, but I think something wrong is more likely. Can't be right for a car to make your wrists ache doing routine driving. No car's ever done that to me before. Have to say, I do know somebody who bought a new Insignia and didn't like it at all. I'll try and confirm exactly what...

    Hi. Yes, it's absolutely infuriating but I find it hard to believe that it can't be switched off, yet it seems very hard to find out how to do it. From a safety point of view, is it just me but surely it's not a good thing if you have a crash, are knocked out, the car's on fire and the retarded...

    I've read the manuals, there's nothing in them about how to turn off the autolocking. The wheels are the standard ones that came with the car. Really wish it was the best car I'd ever had but sadly I feel it's a close contender to be the worst. I actually hate it at the moment, it's not a patch...

    Thanks for all the replies, couple of things for me to consider there. Cliffordski - Thanks for the info. I may consider this, if the geometry doesn't change things. It's a bit of a hike from where I am unfortunately. Jon_G - No it was a SEAT dealer, somebody else had part exchanged it for a...

    Hi and thanks for your reply. Hopefully when I get new tyres and a full geometry check then it will either fix it or I'll know to get rid of the car. The two front tyres were at least half worn when I bought the car. They appear to be wearing pretty evenly so it doesn't really look like there's...

    Hello everybody. I've recently bought a December 2009 Accord 2.2 GT Diesel Auto. I have a number of issues with it and wondered if anybody might be able to shed some light on some of them. 1. A kind of rumbling/droning noise which appears intermittently but fairly regularly usually when...
