I got a health check video when mine went in. Never had it before.

My local dealer started this earlier in the year, the Touran went in in February for a service and got the video link with a list of things they though needed doing.

Snow foamed and washed, then as I was spraying tyre dressing onto the applicator, the wind picked up and blew it all over the clean bonnet and sides.  Had to give it a going over with Quick Detailer, I'd forgotten just how great Chemical Guys Speed Wipe is.

Topped up the Poorboys Wheel Sealant and realised the wheels could do a good decontamination, seem to have picked up a lot of crap during winter.

Fitted a detachable tow bar, also fitted a rns510 dab and reverse camera. Then had a couple of things coded. But didn't go mad with the coding.

Taken my new wheels off and returned them due to the fact they will not balance up correctly!  :cry: and seems as I have now sold my original wheels, had to revert to the farthers winter wheels and tyres for a couple of weeks whilst I find some new wheels  :huh:

Had it at the dealers for an alignment check and set up. Ever since I refitted the Vancouvers with new rear tyres after winter, the steering wheel has been off center and it's not felt quite right. All as good as new now and it only cost £48.

I had a look around the new cars in the showroom whilst I was there, Golf GTE, Passat R-line, CC, T5 Kombi etc... but nothing got my attention. I think I've lost all interest in cars. I was more excited at the caravan dealers on the way back.

I don't know. It was £100 2 years ago. Perhaps it's on promo? I didn't question it.

Way to small. Our current caravan is 7.1m long and is just about right for the 4 of us. Our kids are quickly out growing the bunk beds, so we need a 'van' with a more suitable layout.
