Re: What option did you get that you think you could have left

SatNav - this is the worst unit I have owned in a car - the 4 digit postcode is a real pain.. I use SatNav a lot and it has failed to get me to 80% of my destinations unless I go on multimap and find the exact location and use the map positioning to locate the place. The maps are no newer than in my...

Re: K&N air filters sensor damage

I have had one on a previous car for about 2 years with no problems. It did make a small difference to the car not as much as an induction system would but the real life gains differ on different cars.

Re: Photos of my month old Rocco

Thanks guys - it looks even better today :)

Managed to do the 500 this morning using the same wax and that looks equally as good :)


JaseW - on the original full scale photo the fins on the aerial are easy to count ;)

I need mine in the normal position to get on my drive too, but no need to disable, just have the switch in any position except 'L' and the ...

Re: Interior/Leather Care?

I have had a few cars with leather interiors and I have always found that baby wipes are the best at keeping the leather looking like new. Some of the professional cleaning / conditioning products make the seats very slippy which is not good.
