Re: Battery replacement

Main dealer is not required. Even if there is a code, which is unlikely, any garage with obc2 equipment (basically, all) can reset the car. For peace of mind, use a local garage to do the swap and ask them to check for any fault codes and reset them. Usually all the car computer has done is manage e...

The friction load cr...

Re: Order update

AHA! Another papaya GTS :D I won't be alone in that choice then!
