I'm hoping any of you guys can help. I've got a 2015 Mk 3 vrs with xenon headlight bulbs and the o/s one keeps going off when driving and when stationary. I've had it into the garage that I use and they reckon it could be a faulty bulb, the price of a new Philips is around £80. A couple of questions, has anyone else got any advice on this please. Does anybody know of some reasonably priced aftermarket bulbs. please Thank you in advance

Well, it's started working again but it is going to be replaced when I start work again next week ( been off since November), service is due and tax and insurance is due at the end of May so the wiper motor is way down the list at the moment.

After I thought i'd fixed mine , it lasted about three days before it stuck again so off with the motor again cleaned it up and it only lasted half a sweep of the screen. I'm going to get one off e bay, I did this for my mk2 vrs and that one was still working when I sold the car two years later. At least I know how to change it.

The only grease I had to hand was copper slip, maybe not the best thing to use but it works. A friend of mine is a retired fitter but still does a couple of days at Wards in the Boro, he suggested petroleum jelly,aka, Vaseline, apparently all grease has water in it and breaks down eventually whereas Vaseline doesn't. If it moved, I greased it, the spindle was well seized but soon had it loosened with WD40, I also greased the worm gear. If you see me out and about in town, give me a blast on the horn,

Mine was doing this then it eventually stopped working. I removed it and took off the plastic cover to find it full of rust and gunge. I cleaned it all up with WD40, freed the seized parts, regreased it and fitted it back on the car, works an absolute treat, took about an hour. There are vids on you tube on how to remove the motor and if I can do it then anyone can

I was checking the sound settings and came across this, Canton surround isn't highlighted and can't press it. I'm not a tech geek, but what does it do? and will it make any difference to the sound, Thanks in advance.

Good call NZ, also fit quality batteries, Duracell or Energizer not the pound shop crap.

Thank you from me also, I should be able to manage that. I take it that £19 is for one seal.

Can you tell me where you get these seals from and what sort of price are they? Thanks in advance.

Looks like it Varoom, it's not doing all the time, just on startup, I can put up with that until I can get it sorted.

Happy New Year everyone. Still got the same problem after the update so i'm going to have to learn to live with it because i've got a couple of things to get sorted on the car first ie, wheel refurb and get the nearside of the car resprayed after some kind person decided to key both doors, had a quote of £400 for that plus £260 for the wheels.

Updated, massive thanks to Varoom for all your help, 👍

Thanks for posting the video Andy, even a thicko like me could manage that.

I think i've got the right screen,

Thanks for your reply varoom, i've just spotted the other thread on this problem, so it's not just mine. It does it for the first 200/300 yards then it works fine. I'll have to try an update.

It started a few weeks ago, left work at 4am, it was cold and damp and the radio started changing channels and other settings without me actually touching the screen. In about 4 weeks it has done this but only when it's cold and damp. Has anyone else had this problem or got a solution to it? Thanks in advance.

They’re still for sale.

I need to edit this listing but don't know how. I entered the wrong price, it should be £350, sorry for the mistake.

I replaced my Pictoris rims with a set of Gemini's so these are surplus to requirements. These came off my 2015 vRS and do need a refurb, all 4 have kerb marks on them, I did one, the rest I inherited. There are no chunks or cracks and they run true. This is for the rims only and collection is from Stockton on Tees. I would like £350 ono for them,

Good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone can help me get the radio station logo's for my Bolero MIB1. I messaged pab567 and he doesn't have the data for my system. Thanks in advance,

The main thing is that you are all ok, the car can be replaced.

Thanks for your reply Zednine, I bought a 15 plate hatch and i'm more than happy with it,

I had a mk2 vrs until Sept this year and part ex'd it for a Jag XFS, biggest mistake i've ever made in over 40 years of driving. The Jag was nice to drive, comfortable and smooth but it did'nt make me smile like a vrs does. We had a couple of inches of snow in late November and the Jag handled like a 3 legged donkey, it was all over the place, that was it, it had to go and there was only one car that would replace it, a mk3 vrs,

In September I part ex'ed my 59 plate octy vrs petrol dsg for a Jag xfs, sorry for the bad language, 😂 It was the biggest mistake i've made in over 40 years of driving. I'd had it for about 3 weeks and realised that it did nothing for me, it's a big cumbersome barge that rolls and lumbers around bends and is difficult to get into parking spaces because you can't see the front of the car. I'ts going and i'm now looking for a vrs mk 3, i've got my eye on a few. What i'd like to know from any of you guys or girls is, what is the handling like between the hatchback and the estate? Thanks in advance for any replies, 👍

My brother was getting a second key programmed for his Jag by by a mobile guy. I dropped one of my keys and it stopped working so I asked the guy if he could sort me a new one. He took the knackered key and re-programmed it as and charged me the princly sum of £30. So it may be worth getting it checked out, could save a whole heap of cash.
