Golf mk7 / Re: Blind spot monitoring

Anyone tried this retrofit kit for the blind spot system

It’s the one extra missing from my TCR and keen to give it a try but would like to hear anyone’s experience with doing the retrofit. I’m happy and confident to undertake the work. Appreciate anyone’s feedback.

Golf mk8 / Re: 8.5 GTI with 19 inch Estoril with DCC?

So it looks like you can now select DCC on the configurator when selecting Estorils but not the DCC option for 19 inch wheels. So seems to be half fixed.

I noticed that Fiat have stopped manufacturing the ICE 500 Abarth earlier this year - real shame IMO.

They are about to finish all petrol 500s. I think it's great value as you can get a new one for around £13k there or there abouts. OH is looking forward to joining the modern world with such amazing features as electric windows and air conditioning let alone sat nav!

My sister is on her third 500, loves them.

Both, it's reporting the position of both the inlet and exhaust camshafts.

I would say those figures are nothing to be concerned about as I've read the unofficial tolerance is +/- 5 degrees.

That’s great thanks buddy

Likewise was in the dealer not long ago and there was a lot of drab stuff around, but I will say the new Touareg and Arteon R Estate look exceptional.

My OH is changing her Lupo which we've had from new for a Fiat 500. Oh the horror! Or so I thought.

When any member of staff gets a car at our place I have a look/poke around, being a car nut I like them all and find it interesting to see other makes and the solutions and innovative things they do.  I would have an Abarth tomorrow if I could get the bikes on one. (I have looked into it)

I watched this video from Harry's garage this week, and although its talking about supercars, it does resonate with all the thoughts we are having and what's going on in the car industry.

Not sure if you can embed a link but this will do  :undecided:
