Re: Flashing Wrench Light

Re: Next Car After CX3

If it's so good and presumably reliable-I would be minded to just keep it for another 4 years and then see what the electric market has on offer( if anything?)... You obviously have looked after your CX 3 in the last 3 years-so perhaps add to that by giving it a birthday present of 4 new tyres, a ni...

Wing mirrors stuck shut due to frost

Very cold night-Luckily warm water cured this in the morning--but will now remember to carry a large tin of de-icer to liberally squirt between the plastics if it happens again in the cold.
Wondering whether to apply WD40 as well ?
Has this happened to anyone else?
