We were heading home from the shops this morning and we saw another Yeti approaching us from the opposite direction. A rare occurrence around here as it's only the second one we've seen on local roads in six months. My wife was driving and she gave the other Yeti a wave. He quickly stuck his arm all the way out the window and gave a big thumbs up
We went in a local eatery and on leaving a same coloured yeti was parked next to mine and the occupants getting out, we had a chat and as usual the opening line was How do you find the car, and as always the answer is brilliant.
They even have the same teething trouble with driving, turning left out of a junction touching the kerb with the back wheel.
We're all a bit sad, really, aren't we. I wave at other Yetis, but mostly get no response. I can only remember two, both of whom waved back. On my recent holiday trip to North Cornwall, 12 Yetis were seen on the M5 and A361/A39, but none acknowledged my wave. Disappointing, in a way.
The last time I went through a waving process with other drivers was in the late 60's, when I ran a Fiat 500L. They weren't common, so I suppose that ma de us more visible to other 500 drivers.
As a motorcyclist, which I was for 50+ years, acknowledging other riders was almost a way of life; it was rare not to get at least a nod of the head, even if the other rider was on a different make.
My 2014 16tdi Yeti has a radio problem!Works fine then will go quietish and sounds like its gone off station slightly then will come back on.Happens on all staions.Thinking it may be an aerial problem?Unscrewed roof aerial cleaned brass contact and screwed back on but no improvement.CD sounds ok...
Please can a member direct me to where I can purchase the under bonnet rubber stops that screw in and out to adjust the level of the bonnet, preferably from a UK supplier, my father's Yeti is missing a couple and the bonnet is a little uneven, thank you.

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...
