multiple posts what happened there. Bloody Puter

Sorry

Have you actually been in your own car?! The rear seats have about 4 or 5 different notches to semi-recline the seats giving you more or less boot space as a result. Something like this:

Those are not the min and max angles though. The one on the left is clearly more upright than the one on the right. I can't find better photos sorry.

Photo also shows the centre seat removed and outer seats moved inboard.

Further useful feature is the outer seats will move fore/aft; increases the length of the boot notably.

Indeed. It could also be one of my pet hates in that the middle one does NOT slide forward meaning that if you want the extra boot space this gives you, over the WHOLE width of the boot, you have to remove the central seat. Doh.

I don't often remove the centre seat... I just roll it forward to gain the space across the width of the boot.

Does anyone know why the centre seat doesn't slide forward. :wonder:

Is there a specific reason or was it just because they couldn't be arsed and it keep the costs down?

I did know that actually and was trying (failing) to be humorous. I should perhaps have said something like "you'll be telling me BMWs have indicators next".

Hehehe. Apologies for missing that one.

[and BMWs with indicators?! Whatever next!]

The middle rear seat is a pain. It doesn't roll forward properly on models with the jumbo box. It does not slide (why) which to me is very silly. Most of the time I haven't noticed it as I haven't had it in the car much, but recently I have put it back in.

If you want to roll the seats forward, then you have to lift the middle seat up and move the base a little further towards the front of the car do it stands on its feet. Then you can use the cr*ppy bungee cords to stop it from falling over. A very bad design in my books. I carry some chairs in the car regularly and they fit perfectly across the car when the rear seats are rolled forward.

I have found a new hate, it is when driving in the rain, the water travels between the mirror and door pillar making it difficult to see out the window or to use the mirror, why does the water do this and not travel up the A pillar to the roof like on other cars I have owned?

Bingo! Found the exact same going up the Lake District last month. It was plain dangerous as I couldn't see what was in the lane I was pulling into on the motorway. I'm going to put a mod on the car - just a 10cm strip of black right angled plastic, to hopefully deflect the wind (and rain) out from the window slightly...

Oooh, goody goody! A thread to resurrect!

Now I have decamped over to a 'Berb (in which the 170 diesel engine would appear to be so much more alert and responsive and creamy - does it have different gear ratios TP?), I really miss the great dollops of stuff that cascades onto you when you open the door - any door (except the tailgate, which does it when you close it - in the rain).

Oh - doh! It hasn't rained for 6 weeks since I got the 'Berb!!

Agreed headlight washing and most definitely no clock on the bolero.

To clean the headlights!

If your screen is dirty then so are your lights, especially if you have got HID lights, as the dirt causes scatter and annoyance.

And if you know someone with VCDS you can get it changed to every 10 windscreen squirts instead.

No clock and no mute button on the Bolero.... (I know you can hit pause etc etc etc but really... 2013 and no mute?)

Press the "Phone" button on the Bolero.................sound is muted!

Pet hate on the Yeti... ... ... ...

Buddy Llanigraham popping up in every thread as soon as your back is turned, and with the correct fe**in' answer every time. LOL

(dunno how to portray a "kiss", but assume that one has flown up the valleys to you, Graham!!!).

But on second thoughts... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ,!

Thanks George.

How's the mandolin?

Tinkling!

Pet hate, the assumption that because you drive a yeti you're a crumbly with a pipe and slippers. :p

I'll get my coat.

My pet hate?

The fact that I can't drive it because DVLA won't let me have my licence back till July.

Add to that SWMBO's lack of mechanical sympathy!

Why is it women think the clutch is a switch?

As a consolation, I'm looking forward to Harry's brother arriving in end of June so hopefully it will be perfect timing?

Take your pipe and slippers too!

The fact that it took me 3 years to be convinced to buy a Yeti, and I missed out on a quality motor.Plus I missed out on this "superb" Forum.

.... or just take the fuse out (and remember to clean your lights with a cloth when needed).

They don't. They wash (on my 2012 SM anyway) only when the headlights are on and do not wash every time, maybe its on a timer or every nth wash. I don't have VCDS (yet) so have no meddling by me to change anything.

As standard they wash every fifth time the windscreen is washed (when the lights are on and only when the lights are on).
