Re: Auto H button

In essence it stops creep and releases when the accelerator is applied, you dont need to sit there with your foot on the brake.

Re: Wing mirrors

[quote=""paul300073""]Hi Philb, i also have E70 35 x drive on a 59 plate and yes the wing mirrors do get dirty on a wet day, i think it is due to the mirror surround being short on the side nearest to the window, it would be good if you could get a clip on surround which would stop it, as for the ...

Re: Wing mirrors

X5 M sport 3.0D

No I dont have mudguards, would they make any difference?
