  1. Thank you so much for this, makes it very easy to understand. Will have a go when its dark later if the rain stops for long enough ... cheers
  2. Hi, Please forgive me bumping an old thread but I have a headlight issue with my Monte and wonder if anyone can advise please. Car was a Cat D before we bought it, with front end damage so may have had headlight(s) replaced. Had MOT yesterday and it failed on poor alignment on driver's side headlight. Garage reckon the headlight is actually a LHD version not for UK use (this is third MOT the car has had since the repairs and never picked up before). I rang around for a quote for a new light and baulked at the price, so for now have fitted a stick on beam bender to get MOT pass. I came across this thread with regard to the levers for adjusting UK beam for European driving and I have them on my car. So in theory, if the drivers side is LHD light, would setting it in the "down" position be enough to make it RHD compliant, ie the opposite of a UK car being set for European roads. Don't like the naff beam bender sticker as ruins the look of the car. Any advice appreciated, thanks
  3. So the one you linked to above is the one I need? Thank you
  4. Thanks, done that: Part No: 5JA035192H Software: 0407 Hardware: H70 Nav Data: 3AA919866 Data Version: 0050 Data Medium: EUR_W_V4 Which means absolutely nothing to me, but maybe makes sense to you?
  5. Thanks for reply. No idea what version I have - is there some way to find out?
  6. Just looking for some advice here please ... as title suggests. Had to drive Cornwall to Bristol for Hospital assessment for hubby yesterday. First time really used the Monte SatNav in anger, and worked OK but did get a bit "lost" at times. Voice also has a bit of a stutter ... not sure if an update would overcome this. Its a 2013 Monte, no idea if ever been updated from new I have tried the update portal with VIN no and just replies that can only be updated by dealer at service :( . Is it just a case of picking up a better version on SD card or any do's and don'ts to be aware of. Got to go back to Bristol in a couple of weeks for surgery appointment and I will be driving around on my own for day or 2 whilst he is in hospital, so want to try to make sure its as helpful as possible. Thanks
  7. Thank you, not an iphone but similar process, didn't realise it had to come from the phone itself, all done now. Cheers
  8. Hi all, What engine oil is recommended for a 1.2TSi 13 reg please? Need a top up only for the moment as service not due, but got a 200 mile motorway trip this week, and mid way on the dipstick so wanting to fill up. Only got diesel brands in shed from my previous car ... would this do any harm or best getting something else?
  9. Hi all, Just wondering how I change the names on the Paired phones on Amundsen+ please? When I bought the car, had several previous owner phones listed as "Tom, **** and Harry" which I deleted. I paired mine, which came up with just phone brand and Network on the ID. Hubby just changed phone to same as mine, and now his comes up with exactly the same, so if we are both in the car we don't know which is which. Been through the Bluetooth and Phone setup menus and cannot find anywhere to change the phone ID name. Any advice appreciated, thanks
  10. Hi, anyone know the paint code for touch up on the grey Monte Trinity? Thanks
  11. I am sure the wheels on my Monte are made of cheese ... had previous car for 8 years and never dinged the rims, but done it a couple of times now. On way home earlier, had to mount pavement to get past a lorry parked on one way street. Used a drop kerb and took it really steady at acute angle and still managed to take some paint off. Can touch up, but wondering if the rim protectors are worth it? Any recommendations or advice for or against would be great. Are they a self-fit or would we need to get tyre supplier to put them on? Thanks
  12. Hi, Thanks for reply. In my original post I said I haven't put the clips in yet ... some members here said they hadn't needed them, I have just not fitted yet as only put them on the car yesterday and wanted to leave the windows closed to let them bed in. I did add some extra scotch tape to them though, as never think the small tabs they supply are enough. I will fit the clips to see if this makes a difference. Not wishing to doubt you, but are you sure that the Heko logo on the rear ones should be at the front? TBH I wasn't sure when I went to fit them, so consulted my 206 which I still have here to sell, and although the rears on that are a different shape, they are fitted with logo at the back. The Fabia ones are tapered, and the wider profile matches with the back end of the front ones, so I assumed this was the correct way around. Having looked at a lot of Heko/Fabia pics online, many are fitted this way. I think the other way around, with the narrower profile on the front edge of the rear ones would look really odd, and also trap air at the back edge of the deflector, possibly creating more noise. However, I will bow to greater knowledge here if they should be fitted with the logos towards the front. If it wasn't peeing down outside, I would get some pics. However, it is the front ones making the noise, as lowering front windows stops it.
  13. Thanks all, Looks like I will have to swap them back for now and wait until I need new to swap them again ... if I haven't been a silly girl and kerbed the good wheels by then ...
  14. Thanks, I am sure I saw a pic of the rotational diagram with diagonal swaps. I have the standard 205/40R's. Checked all pressures yesterday after I'd swapped them. Bit loathed to change them back really, as the best condition wheels are now on the driver's side where they are safest from the kerb. Might swap the front to back on passenger side and see if that makes any difference. I guess the "set" will wear level if I put up with it ... don't do a lot of miles or fast roads, so might take a while
  15. First proper dry day yesterday since I bought my Monte last month, and been itching to get my rear wheels off to paint my flaky drums. Noticed drivers front rim was already kerbed in a couple spots, and the passenger rear is like new, so thought i would swap the good one to the least vulnerable side,. Went out today (I was passenger) and feels really lumpy on the passenger side, but more like the front than the rear where I swapped the wheel to. Hubby was driving and couldn't feel anything through the steering, but I could hear a rotational noise as we sped up and slowed down especially on smooth roads. All we have changed is the wheels, we inspected the tyres when they were off the car and they all seem good, no damage obvious. Walls look fine, no bulges. I know tyres wear at different rates, but I rarely replace more than one at the time, so always going to have different ages on same axle at some point. I am assuming its a balancing issue, but which wheel? Feels like front passenger side to me, but we didn't swap this one. Don't really want to have to take them all off to balance. Might swap them back just to prove it goes away, but surely, all wheels should fit anywhere on the car, and my tyres are not directional, so not sure why there is an issue? Any ideas please? Thanks
