Hi Edbostan, Thanks for the tip, I've given the grill a good go with the vacuum, only time will tell. Cheers Mike

Hi Ootohere, thanks for reply. Mike

Hi All, '64 plate 1.2TSI, circa 75k miles. In the last 6 weeks car has alarmed a few times for no obvious reason. It is still on the original battery, which seems still up to scratch, as there is absolutely no problems starting. Could there an alarm relay issue. Any suggestions, thanks. Mike

Pirelli Centurato P1. These tyres were fitted to the rear on 23rd Nov '19 and have remained there throughout. I am a bit disappointed that they should fail with so much tread left. Mike

HI, Because I only looked for bulges, didn't look hard enough on the first wheel. I only noticed a problem in the second rear I looked at, decided to recheck the first wheel and low and behold exactly same break up of tyre tread. These tyres have covered 31.5k miles so I suppose they have done enough miles, got to say there are a few mm left on the treads right across the width. Again many thanks for your assistance. Despite the other machinery in our garage, the Roomy has a place in my heart. Cheers, Mike

Hi Roottoot, Just finished removing the rears and found the problem. The tread has split in the middle of the width, for about a quarter of the circumference. Changed onto spare. I will take it for a road test, I hope that solves the problem. The tyres are well within tread depth with low mileage, I'll need to show them to my tyre man. Thanks for your help, much appreciated. Mike

Hi All, Been a while since my last visit as the car is or was faultless up to recent. Car is a 1.2TSi, '64 plate, circa 56k miles. About 3 months ago I detected a low frequency vibration, at first very quiet, now it is plainly noticeable. I cannot work out what is causing this noise. The 'vibration' occurs between 50 and 60 mph, recedes and reappears around 70. There is nothing felt through the steering wheel, the brakes are all fine, steering is fine, the vibration occurs whether under power or coasting, uphill, downhill or on the flat or cornering. Clutch is fine, gearchange too. I suppose the noise/vibration sounds a bit like a rear window is open and causing buffeting, that's the sort of noise. Can anyone come up with a suggestion as to what the issue is ? Thanks, Mike

Hi AGFalco, Thanks for the directing me to the manual method, I see it is described on pp53. I suppose it is a case of "if all fails read the instructions". I'll give it a go tomorrow. Thanks, Mike

Hi Everyone, All other door locks operate OK, however there is a faint clicking from the tailgate lock when pressing the button on the fob. It's stuck in the closed position meaning I cannot get into the boot. What can I do ? Thanks for any help. Mike

Hi All, I managed to drive over my spare key...idiot ! It still works after a style, but it is 'distressed'. Today I attempted to use the fob to open the car, no go. I had to change the battery a short while ago and now it ppears it needs changing again. I opened the car using the blade in the key hole, put the key in the ignition and turned it which caused the alarm to go off. My local stealer has quoted me huge numbers and delay to get one. Is there somewhere that forum members use for a replacement service, the car is a '64 plate, thanks goodness the second key still works. Ta Mike
