Re: Faults - Worried!

Hi WelshRobin, I don't know how you feel but I and my friends / colleagues are of the opinion that the standard of driving (I’m in the UK) has deteriorated over the years regarding road discipline and courteousness to another road user.

Re: car ordered

Hi, I have a T4 Inscription Pro in Pebble Grey with full body trim and I went for Black Leather interior mainly for practical purposes of keeping it clean, no matter what combination they all compliment each other and at the end of the day it's down to personal choice. Enjoy the view!!!!!!!! Regards

Has anyone experienced this problem? The recent software update plus an additional investigation hasn't cured the tendency of the front Collision Control System (CCS) from the occasional momentarily inadvertent application of the brakes. The brake application is only for a split second but causes t...

Re: The 2.0 engine - is it unrefined?
