Hi bigade,having problems with Jan update, keep getting error message,no data available, Dec 2018 loads fine, not doing anything different with Jan update but it's not playing the game   

[What to do?]

Test drive a 1.2 TSi you will be surprised how good the engine is,enough power for most drivers,if funds allow get the later 1.2 110PS cambelt version

No matter how hard I try the door sills always get dirty and gets on our legs getting in or out. 

Bloody annoying. I had many X-Trails and the doors came low enough to cover the sills. Much better design.

 

Anything else gets your goat?

The fact the Yeti is such a bloody good car really gets on my nerves 

[Start-stop]

Stop/start engines are designed and engineered to do just that, Stop/Start,battery,ring gear,starter motor,modern oils all engineered to cope,if the manufacturers who spent millions on research are not to be trusted there is also a disable switch which I use every time I use the car  

[AGM Batteries - Expensive?]

Would an EFB battery not do the job,I have one factory fit on my Yeti 1.2 TSi,seems ok and probably a lot cheaper than AGM 

[Talk me out of buying a Yeti.]

I couldn't give a toss about MPG figures,I enjoy driving my Yeti so much,can't understand why there is so much discussion about MPG,I could get a bit more MPG if I got a Hyundai i10 but I would probably not enjoy owning one.

Yes, the obsession with the "range" reading really annoys me. It increases when your on the motorway, and generally drops quite quickly after you've fueled up.

Agree   

[Talk me out of buying a Yeti.]

Don't buy one because you won't like how willing the 1.2TSi is,or how much fun it is to drive,or how it will out handle most cars on the twisty bits,or the build quality,or the fact you can easily spot it on the supermarket carpark and SWMBO would probably love driving it so you'll never see the keys anyway

Today I took Big Red on his first long jaunt since I bought him. A 150 mile round trip to Coventry, Northampton and back to Luton. A couple of things impressed me:

 

1. I averaged 44.5mpg - no doubt helped by around 25 miles of 50mph average speed cameras, but even so I was pleasantly surprised by that as I was doing 75mph the rest of the time and had a fair bit of stop start city driving as well. 

 

 

I think you mean you were doing 70mph don't you

[Mirrors do not fold after flat battery]

The windows may need a reset,I think you open front window fully,close and hold switch up for about 5 secs

How did you activate this feature?

Fitting would be beneficial and they are very easy to fit,no need to remove rear wheels

Not necessary to delete old POIs first. I have attached another zip for you in case that one had become corrupted. Same password. Make sure you don't try the Cameras Oct 2018 MIB1.zip as that was experimental and won't work. In the event MIB1 units can't handle these POIs.

Thanks,That version worked fine and is up and running,happy days

Go back the the very first post on page 1 and follow the instructions carefully including "The password is my username in lower case with no space between the two words".

Thank's but still no joy so downloaded July 18 cameras,updated to my Nav with no problems,have tried numerous times with the latest update but keep getting the "no data available screen" have checked and the files are on the SD card but won't transfer onto nav,do the old camera POi's have to be deleted?

[Updated Speed Camera SD card files (July 2018) for Amundsen Sat Nav Unit]

Not having much luck with this one,downloads the file OK (Win 10) when I come to unzip (unpack) to SD card and it asks for a password,I tried my Microsoft password,no joy,skipped the password and the transfer gets stuck on 99% with error messages.There is a folder on the SD card but get a message on Satnav no data available

What a piece of 21st century gimmicky nonsense to play the urban emissions cheating game.

I hate stop/start,crap idea that I could really live without,second nature now to press the kill button but on the rare occasion that I forget the air turns blue,this emissions bullsh*t has gone too far.
