    Sat Nav Out for Repair - Will car still work OK?

    My satnav on my 2012 Exec Estate needs to come out.....its just behind rear seats with lots of multi pin connectors. If I remove it for repair will everything else in the car work OK until its back in? Disc error and disc not loaded messages now coming up. Worked perfectly until I tried to...

    RUBBISH Fuel Consumption - 8th gen diesel auto tourer

    Until 2 weeks back I had a 2.2 i-cdti manual tourer which was returning 52-56mpg (indicated) without even trying. I changed it for a 2012 2.2i-dtec AUTO tourer and in the two tankfuls Ive got through Im very disappointed at the fuel economy. To make it a reasoned statement: I buy the same...

    Remap, i-dect 2.2 with auto-box - can it be done safely

    Just chopped in my faithful old i-cdti sport (153K) for an auto 8th gen. My 7th gen was mapped by Fahad and it was lovely in that state and would be very interested in doing it again, but Im aware that the auto box may be a limiting factor? Noticeable last time was a decent reduction in fuel...

    I have a really nice 56 plate 2.2cdti sport tourer on 153K miles with excellent (Honda) SH, new discs and pads all round last Jan, tyres 5-6mm all round, ultra reliable and very nice. No dents, just minor scuffs here and there In the real world, what do you reckon its worth? Thinking of...

    Service items - over and above the regular?

    Ive just had a lovely service at Holdcroft, paid extra for a fuel filter (ouch!) but then started thinking that theres lots of things that should in theory be replaced but never seem to feature as service items. specifically I'm thinking of Gearbox oil Brake Fluid Radiator fluid Air...

    Squeak from the Rear!

    My sport Tourer has developed a squeal from the rear nearside of the car. It is most obvious at very low speed and when left hand down. It may be audible at higher speeds but maybe road noise is drowning it out. It makes a right racket at low speed manoeuvring in land out of car park spaces etc...

    Feeback on Stage 1 EGR Remap By Premier Tuning

    About 5 or 6 weeks ago I trundled up North for a couple of jobs on my icdti tourer (2006). Its done 140K miles and I dinged the wing in a minor shunt, Fahad had set me up with his friends to repair that and he did me a great deal on a body / remap / HID fit package. Its the remap I wanted to...

    MTEC H1's

    Since its been darker Ive been bemoaning my poxy headlamps on my lovely Sport Tourer cdti. Its fitted with Osram night breakers, properly fitted and aligned but pants. Main beam is adequate tho. I toyed with HIDS but decided to try MTEC's super white H1's with matching 501 sidelights. My local...

    LED's anyone?

    Hi Chaps, I like the idea of gradually replacing my filamnet bulbs on my 2006 cdti tourer with LED's. Not mains, just sidelights, indicators, stop ,tail etc etc. As usual theres hundreds of people out there selling these, some ridiculously cheap, and some no doubt of better quality than...

    Electric Seat Conversion

    Hi All, I have half leather seats (manual) in my 2007 Sport tourer - I've seen a set of full leather electric seats, wondered if the electrics etc would be in the harnesses etc for a striaght forward fit, or is it going to have to be a lash up or just not worth the effort? Ive done this once...

    Have I been given the wrong diesel fuel filter?

    HID;s? Specific Recomendations please

    Chaps, whilst theres loads of HID chat on here Ive failed to identify a specific kit that fits and works well in a 2006 Sport tourer with standard projector lenses. Ive recently fitted OSRAM nightbreakers which are disappointing in this setup (been on an MOT rig too) although they were stunning...
