The sticker over the knob would make me worse as I would know it had no chance of pointing in the right direction.  :laugh:

You have issues man

I just ordered two :whistle:


Putting stickers over it is akin to lifting your floor mats and sweeping the dirt under there  :laugh: :grin:

Now I know you shouldn't check it............ But I had a weak moment today



I don't do much motorway driving, hence the low average MPH

All looks great but I couldn't have the volume control with the line in any position other than bolt up-right - I go mad if my OH moves it :rolleyes:

Man, I thought I was the only one. My wife turns it just to annoy me.

There's loads of us, I must show my wife.

Safety in numbers?

JB GTI - not sure what you're saying there :whistle:



I was talking about my knob  :whistle:  Fnarr Fnarr !!

Hit a pheasant which managed to destroy the ACC sensor and grille, ACC sensors are a tad expensive  :shocked:

Just for reference, have you had this repaired yet Wigit ?

I've heard that the sensor itself isn't too bad, but the calibration is what bumps the price up ? Purely cos' I'm very nosey, in case this happens to someone else, what sort of money are we looking at ?

It's amazing how much damage they can do.  As Sootchuker says it's the calibration that costs.  Do you think your alignment has been knocked out.  That's all linked to the radar sensor too so that also bumps up the cost.  Hope you get it sorted ok and the cost is not too much of a nasty surprise.  Now, what have you done with the bird? - is it hung up at your place, lol. 

Lots of Pheasant round my way but have so far managed to avoid a collision with one.  One comes in our garden everyday for a mooch round.  The car doesn't know what to make of it!!

Sootchucker - in case you read this:

I spoke to Lockwood today about some other stuff and I asked about 5 door GTD sill plates and they have plans to manufacture these in the very near future.
