Yep. I had it on a VW Golf in a previous existence. I love it. Too idle to put the handbrake on manually. It's so tasking.

Foot on the brake, gear selector into P, handbrake button pulled. I don't think I've ever pulled the handbrake button, other than to show SWMBO that it's got a handbrake button. Car comes to a halt. Foot on the brake, handbrake symbol lights up in green, gear selector into P, handbrake button pulled. Foot off the brake, stop button pressed, handbrake symbol turns red, engine turns off.

I think the term has transcended the actual description. I still call it Road tax and I'm the biggest pedant ever. It's become generic like Hoovers and...................I can't think of any more.

Or you could say it has doubled. Lie, damn lies and statistics.

We always use the number plate to give it an infrequently used informal name. The latest one's last 3 letters are GZB. So it get's called 'Jizzbucket'.

My mate's missus would always say 'I'm going to powder my nose.' To which he would always reply, 'Why don't you have a p!$$ whilst you're there and save some time.'

It may be terminology or even semantics, and I bow to your far greater knowledge and ability, but when I first started using snow foam, it didn't click immediately that you didn't rinse it off, you pressure washed it off. Having said that, I'm still not convinced that snow foam is all that. Using ValetPro pH neutral at the moment. I'm going to try the Bilthamber stuff next.

Unfortunately, that world has gone, never to return. Mr Trump and the impending nuclear apocalypse notwithstanding.

There was a girl in my daughter's class at Primary school called; Paige Turner.

I understand why he did it and have some sympathy with him, however, I think I'd have thrown a sickie and chose a different set of bills to make my point.

My mate did that. It still makes me smile. When discussing it in the pub one day. I asked him how it was going, when another one of our mates piped up, 'He's got a garage load of stuff you could cram up yer @r$e but nowt that's eff all use to man nor beast.'

I'm surprised that anyone is surprised.

Not nearly enough butter on that 'cob' for my liking. That's almost healthy.

Not exactly related but there seems to be a lot of our Northern brethren on here, so:- Once on an overnight stop in Perth, we'd had a few beers and on the way home fancied some chips, nothing fancy just a bag o' chips, as it was quite late a lot of the chippies were all shutting and had very little left but we eventually got some chips and off we went. However, nearly all the shops had on the, I use the word lightly, menu; Mock Chop. What on God's green earth is a Mock Chop?

Pedant alert! Pedant alert! Pedant alert! There’s no DMZ between North and South Vietnam. In fact there’s no North and South Vietnam. It’s just Vietnam. Do you mean North and South Korea? They’ve got a nice DMZ.

I checked the mute via the steering wheel and it doesn’t mute the speakers when using the phone. Nothing worked this morning.

No. We’ll have understood. They will probably have mis-spoken, as per whichever politician it was when they got found out last time.

Tried them all. Forgot to go out at lunchtime. Got in the car tonight and everything came on. No problems, issues etc. Phone connected and working. I’ll keep my eye on it. It’s due a service in a 1000 miles. I’ll mention it to them.

Crikey! Labour have such a gradual shift, scheme by scheme or outcome by outcome or whatever you want to call it. They've almost done a complete U turn and no-one's called them out for it.

I don't think so. I tried all the obvious things. There's no icon showing to say it's been muted. The power button is an actual button. It's not part of the touch screen. If you press that, it turns the whole system off..........and yes, I did try the old off and on.........twice.

I've only towed a trailer with mine, but it was fine.

Started the car this morning. Not a squeak from the speakers. No radio or media output. The phone connected but didn't play out over the speakers. Had a rudimentary glance but couldn't do much because i was driving. The warning sounds come through. Although the car in front didn't appreciate how close I got to him at the junction to prove the front sensors. There's nothing blindingly obvious. Sometimes in a morning it won't play DAB but I just switch to FM and in the evening it's back on. I thought ti might be that but, no. Nada, nothing, not a peep. Any suggestions would be greatly received. I'll go out at lunchtime and try them.

Get a cable tow from a lawnmower. It's hard to find a picture of on but there's on in the attached picture. Fit it about 18" (450mm for our younger members) from the end of the plug and then fix a carabina (spelling) next to the socket to attach it to.

I had a Doner kebab on Friday evening. It was delicious and, this will disgust most and delight a few, there was enough meat left over for a toasted doner sandwich for Saturday breakfast.

We've got a white Jack Russel. Flamin' nightmare to get the hair out of the matting etc. The upholstery isn't bad. it's the stuff on the backs of the seats and boot floor.
