It's reasonably accurate in warm weather conditions but wildly optimistic when the temperature drops. I expected it to be adaptive (i.e. to respond to recent actual milage) but it doesn't seem to do so.

Get yourself a simple two prong tester and go through your fuse box sequentially with the ignition OFF and then ON to identify any switched lives. Make sure you have a good earth point. It is a very simple process that will only take a few minutes. This is the only reliable way to identify fuses for...

Very nice! Congratulations. I love the colour. Hope you are enjoying the car immensely.

I see carparts-expert offer a brushed stainless steel sill plate for the Born that would be worth checking out. They look to be of good quality based on the photos on their website. 72 euros a set. No cheesy branding on them either. I am tempted to order a set but shipping for my part of the world i...

A couple of suggestions to try: * Try cleaning the rubber seals for the sunroof and treating them with a product designed to keep rubber supple (there are number on the market). Rubber can become a bit dry and sticky which can result in squeaks or creaks in sunroofs when the vehicle flexes. That may...

I've had the same experience with the radio and sensors. I try and keep the car in the shade when parking up but of course that's easier said than done. At least normal service resumes when things cool down!

The answer is, a caveated yes, you could potentially install aftermarket adjustable dampers and change other suspension components but it wouldn't be a cheap exercise and the system wouldn't be integrated into the car like the factory option i.e. you would have to control them independently and not ...

My issue is less about the service interval and more about dealers who charge for services that are not actually rendered as appears to be the case for the OP. We must all stand up to such dodgy behaviour vociferously.

Similarly curious about service intervals and not getting a straight answer from the dealer, I bought a workshop manual online for the Born. It states very clearly that brake fluid should be changed every 2 years for cars in all countries. So I would go with that. I certainly would not try and stret...

I assume moving the drive selector will involve putting it on its own stalk rather than hijacking the one used for the wipers? Otherwise a quick spritz of the windscreen might give you more than you bargained for!!! Yes wiper moves to left with indicator, from the VZ videos on Youtube you can see t...
