  1. Permanent live in fusebox

    I actually need both a switched and a live as the camera switches modes when the switched supply goes off to a lower resolution or a timelapse mode depending on what you set and then starts the battery monitoring Can I just install a fuse into that lower position and keep the switched one active?

  8. New pads and discs on Cupra cost me £701 due to siezed pin...!?

    It was a BMW specialist garage around the corner from me, they are used at my work for over 50 company cars so since they are very close I thought I'd give them a go rather than my usual VAG specialists as they are quite a bit further away now I've moved house. I'll PM you the name.

  12. Crap MPG recently (Longish story) HELP! TDI Cupra

    So, you might all laugh at me now but... Seems I was tracking my MPG in US gallons rather than UK... So here it is in UK gallons.. How embarrassing. Anyway, still not perfect MPG but a lot better and I'd put the rest down now to short journeys. :$

    Yeh, haven't checked what Badger recommended yet as working nights currently (5am and 2 hours to go..), not exactly sure where to look but hopefully work it out.

  17. Winter tyres

    Just about to chuck some new shoes on my PD160 Ibiza 205/40/17. Thinking to splash out on the Michelin PS3s over the Uniroyal Rainsport 3's due to the reports of a lot of wear and still soft sidewalls. Good idea? They're 35 more a corner... worth it?

    Off current topic but where's the best place to get wheel alignment close to us? Ideally hunter system. I'm just about to buy 2 new tyres so want to get them aligned at the same place or shortly after.
