Re: Few questions TIA
Don't think you will get the owners manual into the drop down box. It will not even take my phone!. The socket or lead allows the connection of phone - I have mine connected via USB connector. You're right lol no manual is getting in there! How do you mean you've got your phone connected via usb? A...

Few questions TIA
What's the pull down media section for in the glovebox?
The tyre pressure warning amber lamp is on.
Checked tyre pressure but the on screen pressure display diagram has disappeared.

Exhaust front pipe
Seems like mine is broken
Im assuming the CAT is built into the front pipe as dealers quoted £500!!!!
I's it a three piece exhaust system?
anyone had any experience of replacing/buying used part. Can you get one custom made would that work out cheaper.
TIA

Re: Turbo gone again!!!!

Alarm keeps sounding
When I arm it and the doors lock, alarm starts sounding immediately but majority of the time indicators don't flash. Alarm goes off sometimes after about a minute and doesn't sound again, sometimes the hazards keep flashing. Any ideas what it could be, the passenger footwell should be dry as all lea...

Re: Need new headlights... What to go for?
I have a pair that are like new externally but inside the housings are loose with a bit of work if you can get them tight you will have a genuine pair of Hellas for a good price.
If you're interested I'll give you some more details.

Headlights cleaning inside
Headlights are suffering from the cloudy/yellow issue that they are known for but on the INSIDE. The projector/internal assembly are all nice and tight so am hoping to clean them.
Is it easy to do as I'm struggling to find a clean set lens wise with solid internals.
Thanks

Re: Headlights - loose projectors
I forgot to mention the locating points are designed for the headlight sitting in somewhat normal orientation, its possible that careless courier handling can cause this. Its also possible some owners have this problem and are unaware of it :) The giveaway is jolting or shuddering/movement of the h...
