Re: i-stop clunk noise when moving off?

Mine doesn't clunk. Or not that I can hear. The only noise is that of starting.

Re: Red Key Symbol on dash on attempted Emergency Start & Thoughts on Start/Stop effect on Main Battery Lifetime

A couple of weeks ago when having a windscreen chip repair the uv light used to cure the resin deleted the battery enough to cause starting issues.
The battery symbol would never blue out, even after a full reconditioning battery charge.
These were the final indicators that my battery had had it.

Re: Red Key Symbol on dash on attempted Emergency Start & Thoughts on Start/Stop effect on Main Battery Lifetime

Finally had to change the battery this week after 85k miles & 5.5 years old. I-stop had stopped working and I'd had a couple of weird issues with starting the car. Seems like new now & no more issues.

Re: Fitting new horns

Fitted horn on left-hand bulkhead plates with 2 newly drilled holes. As I haven't got sausage fingers it was OK to disconnect existing wiring from existing horn & connect an extension wire.

Re: Fitting new horns

I fitted a Stebel horn ( brilliant) without taking any body parts off. That includes fingers, arms, legs, torsos & the like as well as grilles, bumpers etc. 😆

Re: Dashcam Cable Routing Question

It's very easy. Push the cable past the top of windscreen under the head trim - it's not well formed so there plenty of gap. It can then be pushed under the rubber trim on the A pillar, then behind the glove box. Mine only really is visible where it comes into the area of the power socket.
