Sure Llanigraham will be along to shoot us all down as usual on this, but my experience (and I've been towing for over 30 years without incident, including causing incidents ) has been positive n no issues regular up n down the M6, usually stay between 50 and 60, very careful about load balancing and it is all fine, even with coaches zipping past.... so Id say look at the towing capacity of the yeti and if you can, test tow something.

Hi All After 2500 miles my mfd was telling me I had 2500 miles range left on ad-blue so thought it a good opportunity to top up. Used a 10 litre bottle and hose which worked great, but only took 2 to 3 litres guessing from amount missing from bottle. Switched ignition on afterwards, waited for prescribed 30 seconds and restarted engine. It's still saying range of 2500 and a min of 0.75 gal and max of 0.75 gal. Any ideas? Should the range not have gone back up? Thanks

Not on the yeti but I know a Peugeot partner that had this problem and was dripping on the dashboard to the extent it caused the dash circuits to fail.

It would have left two mounting threaded holes which could have been blanked off. The new owner will get a good deal

Always carry a spare. If I had a blow out on the motorway I wouldn't change an offside tyre without support of breakdown services / highways agency / police. Having had the unfortunate situation of a flat tyre in the middle of nowhere (North Yorks moors) with no phone signal, I always carry a spare nowadays.

As a part of the deal with my new yeti, the dealers were to fit the mounting rivnuts and transplant the dog guard across. Apparently this was too hard so they supplied and fitted a complete dog guard in my new yeti - makes me wonder if a fitting kit alone is available? (Apart from nipping down the local motor factors and buying 4 rivnuts)

Backwards so could drive out

Was in a car park with spaces n lots of room so had to try it, slotting into a space rather than parralel parking....worked great, was weird tho' Probably won't use the function much but can see how useful it will be in certain situations - believe it can be used to get out if a space! But I could be wrong

Picked my new Yeti up yesterday Very happy bunny

Speed limits are exactly that - a maximum speed limit. There is no minimum so long as you are making due progress. I keep it simple, I drive at what my speedo says. So in a 50 I do 50, going by the speedo. I know it's about 3% out but this allows for a margin of error. As for people behind me who have issues with me doing 48 in a 50, that's their problem! And really, are those extra few seconds you save really worth the stress and all it brings?

Hi So many threads on here, all with problems - which is fair enough, but gives a biased view of a great car. I get in mine and drive it! I have it serviced at correct intervals, I check the fluids in between (oil and coolant never drops) and it just works, damned well and efficiently. I'm trading it in for a new 140 2.0 diesel L&K this week and hope my new one is as good as my old one. So please feel free to say how good your SM has been. And before a certain sarcastic sanctimonious self righteous persons comes out with his usual comments, don't bother, your on my ignore list!
