Re: LED light bulbs.

And from that can we assume they will be classed as a consumable item so not covered on the warranty ?? Good question, if they're holed by a stone etc then no, but if they failed within the 3 years I would expect a replacement as there's not much to go wrong (PAH I hear you say! :lol: ) as they're ...

Kia E5B is a darn good match - do a search for 'gunmetal' and there's a thread on it here.

Re: LED light bulbs.

Led headlights will entail replacing the entire unit I should imagine - annoying really as the idea of led's is cheap to produce and very low current drain meaning low power consumption and theoretically last many years!

Re: Are you worried about Keyless Car Theft

I know tin foil does the trick and an old Strepsils/ tobacco tin would probably suffice - but they're thin on the ground now as everything comes in plastic pouches! A metal tin where the lid is in good electrical contact with the base should work well. A good shed rummage is in order.... Once the we...

Re: Are you worried about Keyless Car Theft

They do have two pockets in them, one is in front of the shielded enclosure and the other is in between the shielded material. The photos showed the key in front of the shields, which doesn't work.

Re: Tyre and Alloy Insurance

Back again Just taken delivery of the CX3 - which I love, As above what do the mean by diamond cut alloys? Looking at Mine the just look like normal stainless steel type If it's a 'brand new' CX3 then I don't think it will have diamond cut alloys, most diamond/laser cuts look like they've been prod...

Re: Leaking Shock Absorber
