Thanks Ian.

I have no interest in fitting an HUD, I was just curious.

Re: Start / stop

My S/S rarely works (a bonus as I loathe Start/Stop and it saves me turning the system off). The car typically does two 8 miles journies a day to and from work with longer runs at weekends when we are allowed to travel. Even after a long run (a couple of hundred miles), I find the S/S will stop work...

Re: Graunching/screeching rear pads

I've not had any graunching noises but my rear pads and disks are shot after just under 30K miles. The front brakes have loads of meat left and the disks look unused. I've never had a car eat back brakes instead of fronts before... (And am not impressed at the £380 my local dealer wants to replace p...

Re: Headup Display

I did it myself and I’m not a mechanical person, but had it checked months later by an auto electrician who told me it was all good, i have also fitted one to my older model Jeep and it has been up and running for years, you just need to plug into the diagnostic thingy under the steering wheel dash...

Re: Karoq in the snow

I used Michelin CrossClimates on my Yeti and when I compared them with the original fit summer tyres I can't say that I ever noticed any fall-off in performance during the summer but the difference in winter and on slippery, wet surfaces was very marked. The Karoq came with a set of Bridgestone Tour...

Re: Karoq in the snow

In response to the original question: I found the original fit Bridgestones to be utterly useless when pulling away, they would spin under a light foot even in warm dry conditions. Once they were rolling they felt OK but did not really inspire any confidence when cornering enthusiastically. I have n...

Re: Auto locking doors

...the manual specifically warns you not to lock a door with someone inside, which would suggest it is your decision whether to lock the door or not. That's not quite how I understand it. I have never known my car to lock itself when parked apart from when I unlock it but then don't open a door wit...

Re: Auto locking doors

The doors auto-lock when the speed gets above about 10mph. Once stopped pulling the interior door handle in the front doors will allow them to open (I have no idea how the back doors work - I have never sat in the back :)). There is a button in the centre console to unlock (or lock) the doors should...
