Why did you lock her in anyway?! Hehe

Yeah I haven't bothered with anything but 2nd click recently (used to properly brim every other car because range was do pitiful - 300ish) Now its 480-500 miles I am not too fussed about brimming for normal driving. I do forget when I last filled up and I'm doing 120+ miles before the guage starts to move from F (when it has been 3/4 days in the past. I will brim it the next tank and then try and 2nd click it the one after. Haven't done much hypermiling on this tank and it still thinks 480 total.

When up its definitely reduced. It's a plank of wood resting on each corner. I'm sure its stated in the manual how much though. Rattle from dashboard but can't tell if its items in glovebox yet. Going to remove my items and try it

I got my car in march, placed the order before the official launch date so I was unable to try anything. Got to drive a 90 manual a couple of weeks before I got it. I swapped out of a 3 litre one series and wanted economy as I wasn't using any of the power. (Halved my fuel bills). I still wanted handling and for an estate its not bad. Nearly on par with a Honda Jazz but the turn in is slower because of the wheelbase. That car was like my classic mini for handling! Not sure if sports suspension is adding anything to handling or just to look lower. 500 miles from 43 litres. I know how to hypermile so could be those techniques. As the temperature has now dropped its not quite as efficient so I can put the range increase down to higher outside temperatures too.

110 DSG with 5000+ miles on is now getting 500 miles range.

Not looking to note anything about mirrorlink here. This is about the rest of the car. I opted to have nearly every option except the sunroof and the towbar wasn't an option. The sports seats are pretty firm but supportive. I'm too slim to have snugness either side of my ribcage but they work well. Sports suspension has also made it a pretty good handling car but there is body roll. Drives like a decent golf! Everything works as it should (even the tire pressure monitor!) Boot is pretty good.I note the seat bases can be removed entirely if wanted. The variable floor does make it flat. The hooks on either side of the boot are used regularly for bags. It's not as wide as it could be but the car isnt massive to start with. Can get a road bike in without removing wheels. Now the engine is bedded it it has been pretty economical (500 mile range!) As well as low down torque now coming stronger. Driving fast is pretty easy and its not slow at all. Think light car with a 1.6/1.8 of 7 years ago. On par with mini cooper 1.6! Things missing: Electric folding mirrors Total closure windows Seat position could go lower Smartlink should have been available from the start.

There isn't that much lumbar support on the sports seats. At least not as much as I want it to. I've found they are comfortable when upright but not that great when more reclined

Lease?

Anything to do with the issues with Dover and operation stack?

Additional hardware? I'm sure its just a PC with a USB. It's probable the manufacturer of the bolero are providing the same units but different firmware. It's a 50-50 but they haven't asked for the update to be put onto the pre-22 units. Amundsen with nav just has additional sat nav SD!

Can someone give me more information on the Kenwood option. Am I correct in saying its a stand alone sat nav or will it give the android auto/carplay functions? I am looking for android auto because google maps and play music are together. Because they are making offers they are admitting blame. Case by case is not treating customers fairly. This is definitely something that needs to be escalated as misselling. Would I be correct that it is not delivered as sold (as we were all I'm the belief there will be updates, which can only have been software). As both systems connect via USB, surely it is a software update between the two. Amundsen with sat nav will need hardware along with additional SD port for maps. At the moment when I want sat nav and radio I use the phone screen speaker. Bluetooth allows both google maps and my phone music, using the phone screen and car speakers. I don't see how, if the mirrorlink stops when in motion, an update cannot be difficult to apply to allow phone apps in motion...... However unsafe this is

1.2 has plenty of torque! I have the 110 dsg and really feel that it's powerful enough. Easy to get 50+mpg and have had 60 a couple of times. Gearing is long enough but over 60 mph and the consumption does go up quite a lot. I've not had any power issues however I haven't driven flat out in a while

42 litres this time. I dont remember doing anything different or trying to fit more in. I stop at the second click rather than actually brimming like I have done in the past.

One pump I've heard on a mini with a turbo flows oil/coolant around it once the engine is off. Unless there is a pump doing something similar?
