Engine fumes?

I've had a burning type smell come from the back of the car - but figured that was probably the dpf burn off. In any case, that smell hasn't come into the cabin but is more only noticeable after parking up and getting out of the car.Just to clarify the OPs point though - the smell is exhaust as oppo...

Price fall

On the issue of price movements - I wonder whether the battered pound will translate into higher OPC prices before long?

Do I need SC?

SC & electric seats of any description were the only things that my wife specifically wanted. She simply liked the look of the clock / chrono on the dash. Not sure we'll really use it much,but like the idea of having it for the odd day on a country lane without the family in the car. I think our wiv...

creaking and squeaking when steering

I have the same problem - but it comes and goes with no discernible pattern. I plan on having the OPC take a look at it at the next inspection for an unrelated matter. I too have PSP...

18th Sept meet at Runnymead Hotel Egham

Great pics guys - and well done to the organisers for what looks to be a super well organised event. I'm sorry we didn't end up coming along - son was still a bit poorly over the weekend which made things a bit tricky. Next time, hopefully!!

Slow in the cold...?

Thanks for your responses all.I tend to mostly do London miles, but have recently taken it across the channel tunnel for a 2000mi blast. Lots of fun. As I've always said, the car performs sublimly at normal-high speed. It's just city driving where it feels lardy, lumpy and quite awkward.Fuel - I try...

Slow in the cold...?

Hi guysSo I've been on the foums for a while now, and one of the regular issues my SD has been facing since birth is a bit of turbo lag - or just this feeling that something is holding the car back - particular when turning out of a parking space or in slow traffic conditions (such as slowing down f...
