Just to clarify stright away, the big mistake was not getting the Yeti but buying Libby (as a thank you for all her help and support) a personalised number plate.
She now refers to it as "my car", uses it all the time, and begrudgingly allows me to drive it, as she did yesterday, and on holiday (in MAY).
I try to point out that it is actually "MY" car but she retorts "no it's not, it's got my name on it"
So I drive my little gas guzzling runabout all the time, with it's own personalised plate, which I thought at the time was a good laugh but am now thinking it is more appropriate than I first thought.
Not well. I was expecting a problem with the Jag but didn't get one.However the curvature of the screen on the Yeti is such that you can't get an all round connection, even with the spacers supplied, so I'm having a rethink on methods of adhesion.
Picked up an AA holder from Tesco, adhesive plastic front and magnetic back so you just stick the adhesive front to the screen, insert disc, and slide magnetic back on. So to change disc you just slide the magnetic back off, change disc and slide back back on. No pulling the adhesive front off.
Here in Western Australia the authorities decided we no longer needed licence stickers (about 5" x 3" stickers) yes, different to your round discs. The boys in blue now check out the currency of a vehicle's licence on their computer. I'm not particularly concerned, but the sticker at least remindedus of the month of re-registration - tax due. We therefore have no concern for the shape of a windscreen to fit anything to.
We've had some pretty chilly mornings lately and although the car starts instantly, the engine is a little slower to turn over. Obviously the oil is pretty thick when it's below zero, but it made me look at the battery, which I think is the original. I'm hoping not to have to change it just yet...
Ladies and Gents, your expert opinions on my rear please ... this is a 2010 'S', yet I have a painted bottom not the unpainted version.
Is this a standard fitting, or has a previous owner retrofitted a painted rear ?
I hope no complaints (although I do prefer the unpainted version), I need to...
With the current situation and restrictions on movement I expect there will be a few Yeti being "put to bed" what will you do with yours?
To avoid flat spots on the tyres mine will be inflated to 40 psi and moved up and down the drive by a few feet each week.
I will make sure it is not under...
Has anyone changed the driver and front passenger seats in their car? I bought a 2016 SE L with heated leather and electrically adjustable driver's seat a few weeks ago and I'm not getting on with the driver's seat at all. It's really not comfortable no matter how I adjust it.
I'm wondering if...
Just purchased a 2017 4x4 1.4 L & K model with 17k on the clock. 17” wheels 225 50 15 tyres. They are Nexen branded, a company I have never heard of and don’t look like being capable of dealing with the snow we get in my part of Lancashire. I am considering fitting Michelin Cross Climates in...
