I don't know the answer to your question but all my previous cars I fitted with bleed screws with a built in non-return valve. You may want to check these out as they make one person bleeding a doddle. They look just like a normal screw except the pointed end that makes the seal is separated from the main body and is sprung loaded, so loosening about a 1/4 turn allows pressurised fluid to escape but prevents air entering.

Me too. I also checked it against the gauge on the Halfords own, twin cylinder foot-pump and at 30 Lbs, they were exactly the same.

Is there more wear on the clutches with ECO mode?

My key fob battery is only a year old and has had very little use. The car still picks up the signal from the fob when 50 yards away. Can someone tell me how I cancel the warning? Thank you Stewart

Done all the above, and managed to clear notifications, now the car keeps telling me to change the key-fob battery. How do I get it to stop this warning? Thank you Stewart

Many thanks Iway I wasn't waiting for the confirmation prompt. Regards Stewart

Thanks to the good folk at Briskoda, I've recently learnt how to reset the car telling me how many days to oil change and service. But now it keeps telling me 'Inspection Now' and to change the key fob battery. The battery was changed during the last service. Why does the car want me to change it again so soon? Can it somehow sense the battery condition? Does it know maybe a duff one was fitted? In case you are wondering, the garage agreed I should skip the service this year because of covid keeping me and the car at home. Its only done 1800 miles since the last service. Can someone tell me how to cancel these warnings? Thank you Stewart

Thanks Gumby. I'll check out Halfords range.

X-Mist

Do members think I could use a 'bomb' type sanitizer I've just seen in the Easylife catalogue? It says it will kill 99.99 of viruses etc. Its only £10 for a can, so cheaper than the £50 the garage quoted. It says suitable for inside vehicles, and the fine mist gets everywhere. Has anyone here ever done this A/C cleaning themselves? Thank you Stewart

I bought a tiddly bottle of silicon oil from a builders merchant for £5, and a large aerosol can from Lidl for about half that!

An AA mechanic one advised me to lubricate electric windows with silicon oil. (On the sides where they slide against the felt tracks). Maybe silicon oil would be OK on the flap plunger? Maybe others could comment?

Be careful what you lubricate it with. I found to my cost NOT to put WD40 on a steel to plastic bearing.

Before doing so, you might want to consult the handbook. As has been said, there is a risk of sparks igniting hydrogen from the battery if you connect direct.
