Bawnee's R55 Launch Car

[Bawnee]

Decided to treat the car to a serious Valet with CleanCar.ie. Picking it up shortly!

[Bawnee]

Told a few things about the bonnet, not at all good. The glue has damaged down to the primer so bonnet stripes are going back on to cover it up. I'm very disappointed but nothing I can do, the damage was done.. Anyway the rest of the car is stunning! Thanks Larry in CleanCar.ie stunning job as always! Well worth the wait.

The Clubman is in for a bonnet & bumper re-spray, got sick of looking at the damage daily! The laquer was peeling off like crazy! Collection tomorrow all going well. Can't wait to see a perfect bonnet again along with a lifetime guarantee!! Local company too!

Huge difference don't you think?!

[AdyP]

Ooh shiny!

Ever since car taken off Run flats the tyre pressure indicator is null & void-need new tyre now as I drove on a flat!! Boo!

[irlmin]

Siobhan , it should make no difference to the tyre indicator if the tyres are runflat or not , is is set-up correctly I took off my runflats when I got the Clubman and the indicator always worked .

It should be noted that you should always do the reset in the revcounter after checking/adjusting tyre pressures or after a wheel has come off the car for work to be done or if a puncture was fixed or new tyres were fitted. This tells the car that the tyre pressures at this time are correct and if it notices a difference it will then come on if a pressure drops on any of them.

Done religiously Ferg by me & done again today before leaving tyre place. Just doesnt seem to be working since the run flats came off much to my annoyance.

[Bawnee]

Well I don't know then guys..., the mind boggles, thankfully Alloys not damaged but it did cost me a tyre!!!! So why isn't it working right if I'm ALWAYS resetting it after adjusting tyre pressure which I do after filling the car with fuel? Cheers.

[AdyP]

Done with engine running right?

[Bawnee]

Yep! Will re set AGAIN today & hope for the best!

Was parked in car park today, I was about 100 metres away in another building. Phone was on silent, friend rang me as she was beside my car, phone rang car rang but I was elsewhere with my phone on but silenced!! Mortified to think the car was ringing in the car park!! I obviously didnt hear phone so couldnt change audio source. Advise appreciated as this is very odd, is it 'normal' for Bluetooth & iPhones to act this way?? Thanks for reading.

[Derfinn]

That sounds very odd, Siobhan.

Would have thought that the Bluetooth wouldn't be working, as the car was locked and fully switched off?

[Bawnee]

It is odd & not to mention embarrassing!!!!
