Sorry but due to the current Covid Indian variant infection rate in my area, Blackburn with Darwen. And the Government advice to minimise travel I'll not be going to this meet. Those that go hope you have enjoyable time, I was looking forward to this meet., Probable next soon as infections drop to acceptable rate. Take care Regards Ken

Buy quality for longevity Available on amazon £19.45 pair https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07FXRDJV7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

The Wrong Centre armrest
Mrgf thanks for the comment, I'll remove it as I've said and put it in the attic. I've since looked on eBay and there are some that look shorter and say they'll fit. I might try one, but in the time will use duck tape to cover the hole left.

Murdockman, Thanks for that, I'm going remove it.

The Wrong Centre armrest
After having the car for 5 years , which I've never been able to use the armrest as it covers the hand brake making it impossible to apply. So I'm wondering if it is the wrong one, it's approx 10 inch long, has anyone got a shorter one , say 5-6 inches?

Best Bulbs
I have Osram nightbreaker next gen 150% from a Amazon £19.45 pair for low beam. For high beam ADB H7 OSRAM Cool Blue Boost 12V 80W 477 Halogen Bulbs (Pair). These are Off-road bulbs and would not recommend for low beam, I find ideal on country roads where on coming traffic is not often, remember to revert low beam earlier.

All Season Tyres....
I've had Bridgestone A005 on full time for nearly two years , and find agreement that all season or winter tyres are a bonus in the rain. UK has iro 30% rainy days a year, 7 months average temperature of 6C and 5 months average of 14C. So 30% rainy and 6C average temp more than half the year are good reason to use all seasons all year in the UK

What Android App is best for use as Satnav with Smartlink?
As I've mentioned I have sygic available on AA but I do prefer the TomTom Amigo on AA even though it uses phone data. I'm on O2 (50 gig SIM only data) and have had very few places where signal was weak , which can also be said for the other networks coverage. And I like auto amigo Bluetooth phone connection which gives me speed camera and excess speed notifications on the phone , whilst phone in my pocket, without the wire connection of AA.

Any live updates, for alternative route , road works etc require mobile data connection, if phone signal is not available there's no live updates.
