Re: Apple Car Play

Think they all seem to be pretty similar. I’m not brave enough to do it myself, and the cheapest I’ve seen it is £500 which feels a bit steep. I had it retrofitted in my 335 for £100, but the software as already there I think. It wasn’t much of an upgrade though as the standard MMI was decent enough.

Re: Standard Tool Kit, etc

I’ve got two first aid kits, one under the boot panel, and one in the netting in the boot. There’s a whole array of stuff under the floor panel, including a ski bag and top up oil!

Re: Brakes

Replaced the front discs and pads with patterned wavys and ferodos from Autodoc. Cost about £800 plus fitting.

Absolutely spot on for me. I do push on a fair bit, but the standard spec was good enough for me so wasn’t looking for an upgrade.

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

I bought mine just under a year ago with 96,000 miles on it. It’s a 2013 plate, Daytona grey and quite well equipped. It had a decent service history, including replacement gearbox by Audi at 88,000 miles. That might’ve put some off, but I’m pretty relaxed about it. I’m up to a little over 110,000 n...

Slight Juddering at low speed

I've noticed that I have a slight juddering when pulling away gently, which quickly disappears once the revs are close to 2k. It feels similar to the tyre scrub you get when turning on lock. I changed the tyres to MPS4s a few weeks back and only noticed the juddering since then. Anyone else experien...

Re: Advice please - suspension / paint code / battery charger

Can't help on 1 or 3, but mine sits slightly lower on the rear too. I'm on full paranoid mode that the DRC will fail at some point, but it rides and handles well enough for now....

Re: Driver's seat loose?

I've got a 'rocking' chair too. Really annoying. It feels like it's just the back tbh, but I've not had chance to take a good look.

Re: Apple CarPlay Upgrade

A bit off topic, but I've been pleasantly surprised at my consumption, even on a couple of trips to Berlin when I was 110+ most of the time and sometimes 130+ I averaged 24-25mpg. I had a 3l Subaru before this car and my all time average was 19. I can see the value of the Apple upgrade and everyone...

Re: Get out of Jail

I thought they all came with keyless entry/exit. I think it's a great feature, so was disappointed to discover mine doesn't have it.

Surprised that the car locked itself with your key in it though, wouldn't have thought it should do that?

Putting into Neutral

Should I be putting the beast into neutral when I'm sat in traffic?

All my previous autos had stop/start so never really gave it a thought....

Re: Help me choose

Years ago I had a Vectra VXR. Despite all the rantings of that nob Clarkson at the time, it was an absolute weapon. Went like muck off a shovel, and handled pretty well too. Anyway, the point of this is that IIRC its the same V6 engine used in that Saab. And what a peach it is too. Timing chains can...
