Re: Auto-hold Question

The only possible explanation I can think of is that it puts you in control and aware of when it's being used. The highway code clearly states that when stopping in a queue of traffic you should engage the handbrake and release the foot brake so as not to dazzle the driver behind you. The hold featu...

Re: Condensation on windscreen

Although I don't understand why, I have to agree that ventilating the car appears to reduce the problem. Having spent many years in the air conditioning industry I would have thought running the ac would have reduced the moisture content of the internal air and stopped any misting. I was WRONG. Demi...

Re: Heated Steering Wheel

It comes on, heats my fingers then switches off, cools down and then comes back on again. Love it, love i...

Only HouseSpider as far as I know.

Re: New member with a million questions..... at least!

According to the manual it appears that the engi...
