Paint/varnish is always thin on a right angled edge, consequently more likely to crack etc!

Apparently got that wrong then, but on my Adventure 140 If they are 272mm I couldn't remove the discs with the carrier in place but the caliper moved out of the way, had to get the local garage to do it, they had to remove the carrier and whilst doing it rounded the teeth on the 3 x 4 square tool! They were not happy.

Are they 272? thought all 4x4's had 28? fitted

No, they need removing -- sorry!!

Auto windows reset also!

^ But he is in Australia!

probablement!

As ever pedanticism rules!!

So there's no water vapour exhaled when astronauts breathe in the capsule? They must be really unique beings then!!

Just over an hours work, 90€, i supplied the doughnut, cost about 100€, see earlier notes on system of work!

I had a similar problem some time ago, turning on the ignition also turned on the side and headlights, couldn't switch them off by the switch. i bought a new switch, problem soon returned, opened up the original switch and a track on the circuit board at the back of the switch had burned out, so using fine wire wire I soldered in a bridging piece, not had any subsequent problems --- if you follow this route you will need torx bits!

So how do you cope with the CT? They would surely pick up the LH dip situation with their box of tricks?

So JR, is your car UK or French registered?

Ha, if its a french design, then it would have been done after a very good friday lunch, ie a friday afternoon job!! 😄

Switch and contact cleaner followed by a smear of vaseline works for me!! I live by the sea so lots of salt / rain etc blowing about!!

My wife did the same thing years ago, topped up the tank with diesel and also added cooking oil, the cheapest available, put in about 2.5 litres, it worked, didn't experience any probs, had the car for 3 more years after the event

Fleabay ? - probably not OEM

A photo of the the radio facia would help i think --- it could be an Amundsen + as only 1 slot!

^ That's the one!

there has been reference to screen probs recently, there is a guy in B/ham i think, will replace it quite cheaply - someone will be along with the number i think!

google search or amazon!

Didn't seem to be any before replacement , so no, no noticeable improvement! the steel(?)external rim was loose, but not overly loose!

Eventually had the car serviced by a VW group independant, he fitted the new doughnut supplied by me, as per normal no guarantee on the piece. He charged 90€ to do the work -- a good price I thought, about 1 hours work, the car would have been on the lift for the service items though!

Oooofffff I think we approach behind the bike shed at playtime time!! :-()

No not me!
