Re: Soddin’ SatNav.

I entered the postcode for Hull OPC, into my sat nav. And ended up nowhere near where it was. So then I entered the same postcode into Google maps on iPhone, same problem as sat nav, and that got me lost too. I resorted to getting the OPC page on the net. Then on its website, going to the location i...

Re: Software update 2017 SD

An Audio tech guy, would be the one to discuss it with.
But what’s needed is an interface piece of hardware, to get car play if not fitted from new.
There are plenty of fitters that can do it. A well known search engine will steer you there.

Re: Macan ICE expiry

Isn’t that to try to keep prices level over the EU (which we are no longer a member). Hence in the past some EU countries had much higher taxes on cars so we could buy one free of taxes - import it into UK and pay our VAT. I know I bought a Honda CRV for my wife this way. It was built in Swindon (1...

Re: Macan ICE expiry

Let’s see who can attack the motorist most, and what devisive mechanisms can we use. Haven’t Paris just voted to charge SUV,s parking there, 4 times the cost of a normal vehicle.

Re: For Sale: 2 x Porsche Cycle Carriers for Roof Bars

I’m over 2 mts tall. And would not want to lift my MTB onto the top, having to stretch more than a little with the weight of the thing.

Re: Unable to find source

I have a similar snag with my iPod. It will play ok for some time. Then I on rare occasions get in and it won’t play. Search the source, and the iPod option has gone. The only way back is to stop, disconnect the device physically, wait a minute or two, snd reconnect it. And it will then work fine, u...

Re: 2016 Macan S issues after new Transfer Case Install!

TBH without knowing the full operation you’ve carried out, including the self diagnostic. It could be anything. But if you’ve driven it without the full AWD being operational, it could be that the system doesn’t like what you’ve done, and the AWD electronic system is at fault.

Re: Replacement front wiper blade set

Not long ago there was a special offer from GSF car parts, something like 50% off. Mine were due and got a pair for under a tenner. They fit as OE, and work fine. If they do the job for a year or two, at the price I paid, that’s fine.

Re: Rust on exhaust tips - warranty?

The tips that you've got are sports tips, I have the same.
I'm always getting the metal/chrome polish out and give them a good sorting. They suffer a bit of pitting, but it's easy gotten rid of. After more than 7 years now, they still shiny.
