Re: Auto 'coasting'
i have always assumed, maybe incorrectly, that it saves fuel. also i notice that quite often when going down hill the revs are really high and i get engine braking. have never had this in an auto before but suppose its just as easy to switch to manual if it bothers me that much!

Auto 'coasting'
i have been advised that shifting into neutral to 'coast' in an auto can cause problems?

How long does your aircon last?
As title..
How long does your aircon last after 'filling up'??
I regassed mine in August 2011 and it's completely gone..
In my other cars it's lasted twice as long!!

Re: Selling car
faster payments are limited to 1k in most cases.
Chaps or Bacs or by far the safest way of ensuring you have the money. Normally cleared in a few hours.
its the same way house payments are made by the solicitor.

side steps.
What have people done with the 'tarnished' side steps?
Im thinking its either a complete sand and polish then lacquer, powder coating or wrapping in CF..
