Is there an option like on mine where you can add a WiFi antenna. Mine was £6 on eBay.

Finally picking the 928 up from the paintshop on Thursday. The bill is..... expensive. To be fair, there's a ton of work been done (new sills, loads of welding, new windscreen and lots of expensive window and door trims - 246 hours of labour in total) but it's still a fuck load of money.

Of the bill or the car? I suspect the former looks like half a roll of loo paper in length, and the latter epic.duncs500 wrote: Tue Jul 25, 2023 6:29 pmPics please!Delphi wrote: Tue Jul 25, 2023 5:29 pm Finally picking the 928 up from the paintshop on Thursday.

Thanks for mentioning this, I hadn't heard of it before and the A2 is now being less chilly. Will give it a go (with fingers crossed).Mito Man wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 10:15 pm My mum took her M6 in to BMW for a service last week and asked for them to check the AC as she dropped it off...
I told her to let me try with a can of refrigerant from Halfords - it has a sealant and it fixed a pinhole leak in the X5 and my Mito which has held for over 3/5 years respectively.

Same year as ours then. Can't say I've had any issues since getting the pixel. I did have a few with my old LG but as I say I think that was mostly because the phone's usb socket was a bit tired.Gavin wrote: Tue Jul 25, 2023 7:56 amA 2018.Swervin_Mervin wrote: Mon Jul 24, 2023 10:20 amWhat year is it Gavin?

But the logical place to put the phone (cubby under the heater controls) isn't quite big enough to put a phone without it resting on the plug and I'm sure it knackered my old LG phone's usb socket as a resultGavin wrote: Mon Jul 24, 2023 7:09 am Picked up the Superb on Thursday, drove it home. Android play does not appear to work too well with Samsung phones but bluetooth is grand so not worrying about it right now.

My daughters Mito is continuing to be a shed and has started to whine, fingers crossed its a wheel bearing!
She has a years no claims in August so it will be going, its easily been the most expensive car I've had to maintain over 18 months but at least it hasn't depreciated!

Crazy, mines cost literally buttons.
A headlight level sensor, which it’s only got because it’s got xenons, at £100 has been the biggest / most annoying expense.

Same here, my only out of ordinary expenditure on it has been a door handle and one brake caliper in the past few years.

It may well be that she is an animal with a total lack of mechanical sympathy which may account for the wheel arch liner, radiator, engine and gearbox mounts, cv shaft and exhaust!
We are going to see a GT86 on friday which for her sake i hope will be cheaper to run as I'm cutting her loose in lieu of helping her buy it

His DMF is going so I dunno if they're considered weak. So is mine, but my car is over twenty years old, his ain't. Might just be a 'hard life' thing.

I’d imagine it’s more to do with rattly vibratey 4 pot ( or even 2 cylinder) vs creamy smooth 6 cylinder petrol than a fair Alfa vs bmw comparison!
