Morning. Does anybody have any experience of Next Base dash cams. They seem fairly reasonably priced and I have a 25% off voucher. http://www.nextbase.co.uk/dash-cams/

Just to add, at that point they had also changed the shape of the plug (inside the rear wheel arch) on the towbar prep as well as the module interface to match it. Maybe this was/is to avoid the confusion between the two systems, one with the caravan electrics requirement (extra wire) and one without. P.S. yes Andy the module is part of the additional loom (as in the bit you would need to buy not the prep).

We (me and the towbar man) found that on my June 2014 car (MY15 ??) that I had ordered with Tow Bar Prep didn't actually need the extra wire from PF Jones to make the caravan electrics operate. I informed PF Jones of this and they no longer supply the additional cable (from what I understand anyway).

I use Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 225/40 R18 with rim protection on my 18" Turini all year round. They might be slightly on the softer side but then they are EfficientGrip! And they do grab very nicely when pushed into corners. They are also one of the quietest rated and also not bad economy rated, so whereas other tyres might last longer, these might be cheaper to run in the long run. http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?s_p=Goodyear-EfficientGrip-Performance-225_40-R18-92W-XL-with-rim-protection-_MFS_&details=Ordern&typ=R-234568&cart_id=28953089.110.12876&ranzahl=4&Breite=225&Quer=40&Felge=18&Speed=Y&weiter=0&Ang_pro_Seite=50&sort_by=tests&Transport=P&dsco=110&rsmFahrzeugart=PKW

Feckin hell! I thought it was only me that suffered from thiose kind of ballaches! Fingers crossed it's sorted! :yes:

Pretty much the same in mine. Mid 2014 1.6TDi. Car has only done 17K and is supposed to improve with age.

Sounds like you need a family trip to the stealers. :-)

Thanks for the replies. I used my VIN number for the download so hopefully the files are correct. I also have hidden files visible all the time and carefully deleted the two files from the card and replaced with the two identical named files. I'll have a read of the links you have provided and see if the suggestions work. Thanks again.

I updated to the latest 2016 mapping over the weekend but have noticed that there are now a lot of blank rectangles all over the screen. Any ideas as to what hasn't updated correctly? I downloaded the maps on to my MacBook Pro. Unzipped the contents. Deleted the 2 files on the SD Card and replaced them with the 2 new files from the download. I'll do a screenshot if nobody has a clue what I am talking about! :-)

It's an Atera Strada DL from RoofBox.co.uk - great rack that slides back and takes the weight of the bikes all the time. Leaves easy access to the back too. It also fits neatly in the boot if you park in a car park then go riding so it doesn't get knocked. Not cheap but you will burn fuel with bikes on the roof. I don't notice any real slip in economy with them on the tow bar.

I assume your Combi has the roof rails on it? I just bought a set of these: 120cm Universal Fit Black Alloy Aero Locking Car Roof Bars Rack/Rails Bike/Box http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120cm-Universal-Fit-Black-Alloy-Aero-Locking-Car-Roof-Bars-Rack-Rails-Bike-Box-/321726618475?hash=item4ae8669b6b:g:VZMAAOSwLVZVksJ- Then borrowed a friends Thule Atlantis 750 and fastened it on top. Carried it pretty much full including a wooden baby cot from Leeds to Edinburgh no problem. Here's a picture loaded up and ready to roll. SWMBO looks happy at least!

Here's my before and immediately after Elegance lowered on 40mm H&Rs. Standard shocks. 18" Turini's. I think it has settled bit more over the last 12 months.

Are these shocks adjustable? Could you kindly point me in the right direction. I lowered my Elegance 12 months ago using H&R lowering springs but left the shocks as standard. I assume I will need to deal with them eventually?

I love my 1.6 TDi Elegance. My previous vehicle was a tuned 2.5Tdi Transporter. Fast as f**k, but could barely manage 30mpg, cost over £500 p/a to insure and a whopping £270 in VED. The criteria for the new vehicle (with a baby on the way) was based more on the economy, insurance and potential VED cost factors and trying to drive down the cost of motoring. Having said that, the 1.6 has never let us down and although it isn't going to win a race from the lights, or blow the the power boys of my bumper on the motorway, it has coped with everything we have thrown at it and I wouldn't describe it as sluggish by any means, even fully loaded with a roofbox and bikes on the back. The simplest thing would be to take a test drive of both ensuring it has a bit of motorway in it. I tested the 1.6TDi first and didn't bother testing the 2.0 as it met my requirements. Only you will know if it meets yours and whether you might be disappointed or not. :-)
