[Inexpensive Side Boot Nets]

Done! Now... do I ditch the plastic boot tidy thingy in favour of a 2nd net?

[New Roomster!]

Was sceptical that the phone holder would work but it does! Phone has never fallen off. Survives speed bumps and cobbled roads no problem! Works by suction and a semi sticky base and at the back of the phone (leaves no residue).

The only time it failed was after a really hot day and the dash was molten! Taking it off and re mounting it soon sorted it.

Thought of another pro and con... The sticky bits are washable so no need to panic if they get clarty. The holder doesn't clamp onto the phone so running a power cable to it can be tricky. Use a non springy cable would solve that issue!

I've a plethora of phone mounts already but was more interested in the means by which you've attached to the dash! I've used plastic disks before on the smoothest of surfaces before and still they've come off under the intense heat they get subjected to inside a car (no mount attached - just the disk under it's own weight albeit upside down). Your link opened up some new ideas though - there's some crazy sticky shelf that hangs off the CD slot that looks interesting :p Will probably foul the gearchange and render the reversing sensor diagram useless though... I'll look into finding better quality discs. Thanks!

Hi,

how did you mount the phone holder to the dash? I figured the textured soft touch coating might not be the best for the stickyback smooth discs you mount suction cups to so decided against it but if you or anyone else has good experiences I'd like to know!

Cheers,

Well 1 thing you will notice that the Roomster has in common with the MX5 is a feeling it is dragging its heels until the revs get into the power range, then it feels like it wants to go as fast as anything. Of course there might just be a tad more body roll in the corners from the Roomster

Definitely! I've nearly fallen out of the seat on numerous occasions :p I'm finding first gear a bit lethargic though so need to be careful exiting junctions as I can't floor it to 40 as I used to - then there's that surge in 2nd that likes to try and catch me out usually mid right turn on a RAB - fun! All is forgiven as I'm heading towards 500 miles on the first tank . It acquitted itself nicely on a 4 up road trip to London and back on Saturday - a relaxed motorway cruiser which the Maxda was not! I didn't try the 105 as it wasn't an option but the 85 is plenty good in my book.

I would be more interested in finding some shin pads for the centre console for those moments I forget I'm not in a sporty number anymore! Has anyone seen such a thing before I MacGuyver a solution?

Car needs too be altered so it thinks it's Australian (by VCDS)

No maxidot for me - just the bog standard MFD. Thanks.

If you check out the manual (https://mediaportal....wnersManual.pdf) on page 12/13 there is a button that sets the display mode. One function states: Activating/deactivating the second speed in mph or km/h.

Not sure if that's it but give it a stab...

Congrats on the new Roomy!

I'll give it a bosh in the morning although sure I've messed with button 5 loads already - just allows me to change the clock! There's something to be said for the simplicity of my old Mazda, an Odometer and two trip meters... that's your lot!

Cheers everyone

Thanks - at least I can stop trying to change it!

Hi all,

I'm a long time lurker finally joined the ranks after collecting the keys to my new SE (25% off special!)on Friday. Loving it so far - great to have AC after a long spell without as well as the trick windows which never fails to impress :clap: . Sunset glass to the rear is fab - noticed last night I wasn't being blinded by traffic in the rear view and realised it was the tints at work - great stuff! Only issue so far is wrapping my head around the trip computer - anyone know if it's possible to change the digital speedo to MPH not KPH? All other readings are in miles so seems strange to cross back for this one...

And of course, the obligatory photo - lined up against my dearly departed (the salesman didn't mind indulging me one last time :p)

Cheers everyone!
