There is always someone out there ready to rip off the unwary. Think about it, a spark plug is just a bit of metal with some ceramic insulation, i.e., raw material cost is pence add on cost of equipment for making them by the millions plus packaging and I would work hard to find them for a fiver each and this is why I never buy anything from "dealers" unless I have no alternative. Here's a good example:- As can be seen from above table "dealers" charge at least £489 for a cam belt change which is ridiculous for something one can buy for around £100. My super efficient and lovely mobile mechanic (no VAT) recently quoted me £250 for the job.

Looks like they are still selling a manual box vesion of the estate but it mystifies me as to why it is so much more expensive than the hatch when we are just talking a bit more pressed steel and paint.

Sorry I do not understand what you mean by "activate it". It quite clearly states in the manual that if you want to tell the car that you are happy with say 2.0 bar tyre pressure then you should change your tyre pressures to that (with a pump and guage) then go to "CAR" on the display then select "Tyre Press" followed by "SET". Its all on page 128 of the manual and is nothing to do with ABS.

When it's just me or me and mrs I use 30 all round which is most of the time. Have had car since new and tyre wear seems pretty even so far. 37 is far too hard, you will be skating if you are doing 70 on a motorway and it starts to rain hard and your dealer is mental IMO.

On the screen panel select "Car" then it comes up on a list of various things you can do. BTW there are full details of how to do it in the user manual, have you not got one?
