Re: Headlights

That's a fairly positive outcome for yourself there! AST still would have been a great addition to the car, but I guess I can't miss what I never had aha. I'm just surprised they actually remembered the flag as I haven't spoken to them for the best part of four months! Pjm it has been a while! Not a...

Re: Headlights

On a slightly different note, they did say they will source a small rubber Swedish flag for me! Well that's a result in itself! Don't I know it! I shall keep you posted as and when I find out more :) Little surprise in the post today, a rubber flag from the dealer, he kept his word! Little bit late...

Re: Armrest Driving Me Nuts!

Lucky spot for you then PC40! Unfortunately not the case for mine, 100% from the lid for me, as mentioned you can reproduce the creeks just by manipulating the lid with hands alone, and very clearly from the lid.

Re: Brake pedal judder?

Well that's vaguely promising to me, though mine seems much worse, to the point where passengers have commented on it. Would appear nobody else has noticed it to the same extent I have, booking mine in for an appointment next weekend as I speak (type).

Re: Brake pedal judder?

Thanks Pjm, it's really quite noticeable. As mentioned I thought it was quite normal and didn't think too much of it, but as time has gone on it just seems it cannot be normal, almost like the auto hold is grinding a gear or not engaging as smooth as it should. Adding to the list of defects to give ...

Re: Brake pedal judder?

Most common reason for judder in the braking system is warped discs. Do you ride the brakes or apply slowly over a long time? Shaenei I am well aware of this, if you read my post you will see this happens when shifting and when auto hold activates, not when braking to come to a stop. It happens onl...

Brake pedal judder?

Just wanting to know if other people are experiencing this or is it just me. Since having my car, the brake pedal often judders and kind of grinds, this happens when shifting from Drive to Park/Reverse or Reverse to Drive/Park ect... It also happens when the auto hold feature kicks in at junctions e...

Re: Overactive fan/radiator

Ye mine comes on probably every other drive, often within the first 5 - 10 minutes even when the car has only been driven gently and regardless of outside temperature. Will be booking my 3 month check up when I get a chance so will bring it up then.
