I run a 1970's Triumph. It has to be run on at least 97 RON fuel or it misfires, runs on etc. It will pink very easily if the timing isn't spot on, the original settings are now useless as fuel has changed so much, so its done by ear rotating the distributor in tiny increments. Its fitted with ethanol proof fuel hose to stop it being dissolved, but its the effect on the rest of the system thats most concerning. 40+ year old seals and floats are delicate enough without being attacked by the ethanol.

I had two heated screens changed. First by Autoglass, can't remember name of second. All done on drive, no problems with either, everything worked. Andy

I had my Yeti for nearly 10 years and never found it uncomfortable, firm yes. One answer might be (and I appreciatice its rare) is to find a car with the electric drivers seat option, as it has more adjustments than the manual. Andy

"There are some roads in Stafford which are 30, but the car suddenly shows a 45 mph limit (!) for no reason before switching back to 30. " Mine does this as well . It also sometimes shows 110 in a 70 limit. I think its the kph equivalent. Andy

My Yeti used to have an odd rattle. Turned out it was the little piece of silver trim on the centre ventilation grill adjusters. Drove me mad till I found it. Andy

I used to get simalar problems with my 2010 Yeti. I had a dash cam fitted and it used to slighty drain the battery on occasions. The car would still start, although the starter was sluggish, but it lit the dashboard up like a proverbial christmas tree. Recharging or switching the dashcam off solved the problem.

Took my Karoq out in the snow for the first time today. It was useless. No grip at all. Traction control light flashing madly and wheels scrabbling all over the place. Defeated by a gentle slope my old Yeti would have sailed up. OK my Karoq isn't 4x4 but I expected better. Could the Bridgestone tyres be part of the cause? Just as wsell we don't get much of this weather. Andy

Thank you for the reply, looks to be my best option. Andy

Apologies in advance as this must have been asked about previously. I have music files on SD cards that I would like to play via the Columbus unit in my Karoq. Is there a simple guide as to what leads/adaptors will work with the USBc sockets in the car? I've looked on Amazon but some say they don't work with in car media? Help please! TIA Andy

Noticed when on a 70 mph dual carriageway that the speed limit was showing as 110. Seems it randomly changes between mph and kph. Modern tech.... Andy

Seems to be a common problem. We had a 2007 model, same thing happened. Ordered a secondhand parecel shelf, that broke in the same place as well. Andy

Read this thread with some interest. Its been a few years now, but something similar happened to me in my Mk1 Octy. An almighty bang/thump while just driving. Never found anything wrong, nothing had broken, everything worked. No debris on the road. It was mooted that it might have been some sort of feedback through the sound system causing the 'bang'. Never happened again and noone came up with a better idea. Andy

I've only driven mine once at night so can't really comment fully on the lights yet. But I did miss the 'bending' of the Xenons from the Yeti. Andy

Mine has done this as well. Can only think the satnav converts 30mph to 45kph. Andy

Both headlights went at the same time on my wifes 2007 Fabia. Andy
