  1. @nickytheshaft thanks for this and posting the links in the first place. Mine arrived yesterday and I've just given it a trial run - works a treat. Well chuffed 👍
  2. If it's any consolation (probably not) I had to take my company car in for a service years ago and my (now) wife was going to take me from the garage to the office. I put the front of my Passat into the boot of her Ibiza at a roundabout. The guy in Fleet Management was very confused when he heard the third party's address was the same as the mine. Then he couldn't stop laughing. My boss didn't find it funny as the damage came off his bottom line... Mrs Cakemonster reminds of it occasionally when I've been naughty...
  3. @nickytheshaft I've decided to take the plunge and ordered the AA one, maybe you should be on commission! How easy was it to set up?
  4. I've just noticed one of my rear deflectors had dropped a bit, so decided to adjust it. And the end snapped off, it seemed really brittle. They've been on around 5 years. Does anyone have any experience with Climair, or any of the ones on Amazon - Ispeed & EdgeVisors? Ta.
  5. Is the lever with the key in locked in that position? And the key locked in the lever? If so, it's fine, that's how it should be and when you insert the tow hitch the lever pops up and you can turn the lock and remove the key
  6. Only downside to LEDs is that the trailer/caravan/bike rack isn't covered by the car alarm, unplugging the cable with the car locked sets the alarm off (factory towbar)
  7. Oh, bugger, I was hoping you'd say it was a pain and I wouldn't bother attempting it 🤣🤣 Thanks for the quick response.👍 I'm off to surf eBay...
  8. The switch looks smart, how easy is it to pop the old one out of the dash?
  9. If memory serves me right, there's a torx screw under the airbag mark, you need to prise it of with a thin blade, a penknife etc.
  10. The on-line version has more detail, my hard copy that came with the car is 267 pages, the pdf is 333.
  11. Tape over them? Either opaque or use some of the stickers you can get on eBay to dim the blue circle on Sky Q boxes.
  12. It happened to a bloke I worked with a few years ago in his Passat, burnt a hole in his seat (full leather, I think) and his jeans, his wallet saved him from being branded! VW stumped up for a new seat, jeans, wallet etc.
  13. Border Collie agility Vs Border Terrier agility....
  14. @ApertureS Am I reading this correctly? I have ACC but have a fixed rear axle (1.5 SEL) and during the first couple of services the dealer said the tracking was "out" and only they could do the tracking as it had to be "calibrated" at much £££s. There's no mention of the front axle - or is that the misalignment angle?
  15. Definitely related to Mrs Cakemonster....
  16. No, just clumsy AF, and being a swimmer, built like a small outhouse...
  17. No problem, just move anything breakable and for your own sake, don't let her cook - 4 meals in 26 years, it's not her strong suit... Oh, and Mrs Cakemonster has ripped the cord out of the mains Dyson, twice, so maybe cordless would be best? 😉
  18. Mrs G and Mrs Cakemonster must be related... 🙄
