I dont know but I think £800 for cambelt change is eye watering and a total rip off. I think even if your car is one of the latest Exeo made it should be out of warranty by now or it would be running out pretty soon anyway. I think you paid double the price compared to an independent specialist...

Well I never was one. I tried to answer your question and with regards to a lighter caravan I guess lower weight means less comfortable, spacious interior. I drive remapped cr170 and to be honest it drives just right to me. (power to mpg ratio). Someone who is in need of some serious speeds...

More pulling power? Quicker overtaking? Probably it is purely for acceleration joy. Some people will take their cars to the race track or they may occasionally drive in Germany where they can use full potential of their motor. In England speeding on the motorway is like Russian roulette. You...

I use colourlock products. Google for more details. They provide pretty much everything from cleaning to restoration cosmetics.

Black Saloon, I guess it was 10 plate it was a while ago though..

I do regular journey on the M1 near Milton Keynes and it had been weeks since I saw one. I see one pretty much everyday but it is always same one living locally to me. On the other hand I did some 1600 miles round trip on the continent during Christmas and didn't see a single one. If I see one...

If you pay extra £££ for a custom remap what should include an engine and its major component health checks and an individual map for your car, you should not worry to much. I realised one thing people often use generic maps those fit for all and get nasty surprises. I would try to avoid tuning...

They are rare even down the London area. Oddly enough I had the pleasure to be cut up by very similar exeo to mine near Toddington, M1. Thats what you call a surprise! Also there is one living few streets away from me and one taxi (a nice silver sport tech 11 plate)

Yeah I suppose the larger wheels help when car is going at steady speed but the more you accelerate the worse mpg you get. I am still quite surprised you can get 60mpg out of 143ps Exeo. My car is more or less always same on fuel which I like. Differences are not big whether you travel at 75mph...

Over 60mpg that's pretty impressive. I assume this is the greenest 120ps version? I was never even close to 60mpg which is something like 4.7L/100km (?). Probably 18" wheels don't help. I am pleased with the car anyway achieving 7.0-7.1L/100km (38-40mpg)on the long run across the continent...

I managed it to unfold it. Basically I jumped in passenger seat and reached for the switch knob. Good thing i heard electric motor working and it moved slightly but it was still up. So I did it again and pushed it manually and eventually it went fully out. Mirror now wont fold but this is a...

Well as the topic says. I was unfortunate to fold my mirrors(normally dont do it) as I always feared one day they might get stuck. They did it now, the worst possible time just when I need to go to work and need car for the weekend for Xmas journey to the continent. End of rant. Anyone...

I recommend for summer dunlop sportmaxx rt. Very solid tyre. Quiet and excellent in the wet. Really good on the dry. Car feels stable at any speed. They were through some serious braking on the motorway and didnt let me down. I realised how good they are since I've swapped them for a winter set...

I have noticed recently that right side seems to be quiet on my bose speakers. I played with the balance and when you put it on the right as much as possible very little sound can be heard, while if you switch it to centre it seems okay, when put to the left it gives much more punch than the...

Yeh I bought my cr170 with an idea of mapping it pretty much straight away. I had waited around 1500miles to see if car wont fall apart and shortly after "qualifying" period I took it for a custom remap. Stock power was very good. Before 186.0KM/402.4NM @2436rpm After 203.7KM/444.2NM @ 2513rpm...

I have received exactly same letter! To be fair I am not particularly interested in participating in this service action once it's ready to launch. I am not company car driver and the car is remapped. It doesnt have a box as it is custom tweaked and I am afraid I could potentially lose the...

I have taken it to a garage as they had a ramp. I must say theyhave done a good job as after a long high speed motorway trip on german autobahns it is still in place :D:D

I have put it back on. Let's see how long it will stay in place :)

Anyone has ever had any issues with the under tray hanging and scraping the ground? Shall get rid of it or try to put back together? I have had a similar problem with the other car and I had to refit the tray several times before it finally stopped falling down.

Well I wasn't clear enough trying explain the problem because I don't quite understand what the problem is. My car is fine it can do the same as yours, will go up the hill easily if pushed harder. I think best solution if anything suspicious is happening is to plug a diagnostic device (VCDS...
