Re: Minis

I recently upgraded our 2012 mini halogen lights to xenons as the halogens were terrible! Maybe the newer model lights are better-but worth considering if night driving/getting older is a worry!!!!?

Re: Minis

Our 2012 Mini Cooper has been a great car. Bought from new and 38000 miles in - has had no problems until last month! Coolant leak noticed and required new water pump and belt. A google search found that I was not the only one to experience such a problem at similar mileage. Other than that one prob...

Annoying creaking noise

If you gently press corner of bonnet under A-pillar (corner of windscreen and wing) and hear knocking/creaking then that is the problem. Lift bonnet and you can see in the area you pressed there is a black plastic 'wedge' attached to wing and another attached to bonnet. You will see that as the bonn...

Gtechnic just completed in Essex

I personally have never been a fan of Porsche finished shiny black wheels so opted for silver finish. However, yours are now stunning! Superb job, look fabulous - how Porsche should do black wheels!

Annoying creaking noise

Sure is - but it works. Dealer said this it what Porsche tell them to use and they use it to cure creak under warranty, but I got some to cure tailgate creak on our other car and to top-up black plastic bits on Macan as needed. I paid just under £20 for a tube - but I may have been lucky at that pri...

Annoying creaking noise

Very likely needs DuPont Krytox GPL205 lubricant on black plastic fixings under bonnet on passenger side. Dealer has the stuff and is aware of creaking bonnet issues. Newer models were supposed to be cured with replacement rubber parts but mine creaked even though it had replacements. Allow the lubr...

Satnav display disappeared from binnacle!

Exactly same binnacle sat nav problem happened in mine last week. Screen was completely blank. Car was parked overnight and problem disappeared. Just hope it was a one-off!!?

Dent removal

Your local OPC will use a local specialist. May be worth contacting them. Hopefully with knowledge of Porsche 'entry' areas they should do a good job. Or a local detailer will know a guy. Rest assured it will get sorted-good luck.
