yes that sounds about right then
-
First thought is steering wheel angle not stopping the key or foot on the brake, gear selector in park (if automatic)
-
thanks for the feedback
-
Best to sift through this information as it doesn't seem to be a simple answer and would research it
-
Hi...welcome to the Club
Best to put your registration number in EuroCarParts website and see which option it gives you - chain or belt
Very accurate and do that each time I want to know which it is -
How did you get on with the colour choice.....did you commit to a particular one?
-
I would be tempted to try eBay and put a starting price of whatever you think is reasonable.
If it doesn't exceed the starting price then it won't sell and nothing lost but at least you'll know what its worth then and can reduce the price next time round or leave open to offers.Alternatively, we buy any car and increase their valuation by 25% or so for a more realistic valuation

I wonder if it is a bumper protector for when you are loading things into the boot and avoids scratching the paint?
-
4x4 direct are a very good supplier of sidesteps....have used the company before and reasonable prices.
Fitting - now that is another ballgame, not the easiest to fit so would entrust a garage to do this -
The usual fault is that the battery is not strong enough that when the engine is starting the voltage drops too low and flags a fault for the Electric Power Steering (EPS) and takes the steering offline.
Have the battery checked for condition and replace if necessary - this is the best place to start your diagnosis
-
Sounds like it could be a firmware or software update is required for the audio system to enable the Aux to be used
Alternatively will the phone not connect via bluetooth? -
Here is a selection of side steps from 4x4 direct

Difficult one to source the water getting in.
A smoke generator is your best bet and if you want to save money then buy one as useful to have for a variety of uses.See link below for cheap one through eBay:
-
Usually a third service will be a small one, much like the first service
There may be options such as coolant or brake fluid change which is usually chargeable on top of the service price -
Is there an issue with the microphone (or an obstruction to it which could affect the sound quality)?
-
I'm not sure but wondering if you do actually have an auxiliary heater as the system may be looking for something that isn't actually there?
The airbags, not sure again but could substitute a resistance (i used noid lamps - used for testing injector pulsing which has the correct resistance of an airbag). If the code clears then the resistance for the airbag is out and doesn't involve putting a voltage across the airbag which is dangerous (could deploy them)

HI...welcome to the Club
Hope you don't experience too many problems in the near future
Good to have you onboard!

in a nutshell.....yes thats right
a lot of people set it to 20 degrees at all times which is comfortable in summer and winter....any cooler and it can get too cold/hot
Also, in winter when the windows are steamed up the switch the system to recycle as this will draw down the moisture from the inside.
Don't use recycle air supply in the summer as this can dry out the interior (and passengers) too much and become uncomfortable...switch to fresh air supply -
Hi....welcome to the Club
That sort of journey is ideal if it is motorway and extra-urban routes.
As soon as you put it built up urban roads then thats where the problems start for a diesel engine clogging up.Cambelt and water pump - if in doubt get it changed and then clock the miles until the next change is due
-
climate control will keep the interior at a constant temperature that you have preset
dual climate control means that either side can have a temperature which they can control accordingly (limited to their particular space and not overall in the vehicle)
-
Try this company
-
Ready mixed coolant is as it is and no need for diluting
If you buy 5 litres then there is more than enough to refill once drained
-
Without seeing which lights are on its hard to tell but generally if they are red then you have big problems, yellow (amber) then only usually advisory
Let us know what was diagnosed at the service
