Re: DPF Issues?

I am a little bit at a loss as to why anybody would buy a diesel (or sell one nowadays), apart from people who do very long motorway journeys and a very high mileage. Even then, they must know about the pollution it causes and feel that the personal cost saving outweighs pollution cost. I guess the ...

Re: Halfords or main dealer?

Thanks to everyone who commented on my post. Was going on the side of main dealer because of the remaining warranty and after the comments will look to get it a bit cheaper :D I think that is very sensible. You didn't buy a CX-3 because it was the cheapest small SUV, so buy the service it deserves :D

Re: Halfords or main dealer?

Are they like for like? Does the Halfords price include the correct oil? And the disposal of the old oil? Do they both include oil filters etc. that may be required for this service?

Hi Eddie and welcome to the forums. I think you posted in the wrong place which is why you haven't had any responses.

What we are saying is that having put in the first part of the post code it wouldn't let you enter anything including the space.
OK, sorry, my bad I didn't read most of the previous posts - still suffering post anaesthetic brainfog :oops:

Re: Entering post code in satnav

Might have been said before but you **MUST** put the space in between the 2 sets of digits otherwise you will run into the troubles stated here...... As I did when first getting the CX3, didn't input the space and couldn't enter the post code.... Until Julian put me right - Enter the SPACE! What we...

Re: Entering post code in satnav

I think it just depends what mood the car is in when you press the starter button. If it wants to go for a drive you can input it without a problem, but if it sees too many cyclists on the road it would rather stay on the drive. :D
