Electric boot
Hi folks having problems with my electric boot, the strut? If that's what they call it :-[ is making a loud clicking noise, just the one on left. How easy are they to replace and where can I source one. Thanks

Panoramic roof help
Hi folks need help here, I've opened my roof today to tilt and it now won't close!! It seems like it's stuck at the front driver side!? It begins to close then you hear something click or catch and it re-opens again!!

Re: Flaps behind kidney grill
Just a wee update, with the warmer weather the strange lack of power below 2.5k 3.0k was becoming more apparent. So it turns out the vacume pipe to the small turbo was perished, I'm presuming when it was getting hot under the bonnet the rubber hose became softer and didn't hold the pressure as it ...

Re: I drive oil level

Re: Flaps behind kidney grill

Flaps behind kidney grill
Anyone know when the flaps behind the kidney grills should open up? I've noticed when after a long run and a fair bit of heat has built up its rather sluggish below 3k rpm then above that it goes like stink??? It's as if the intercooler is too hot.
