| Well, there was a lot more to the story since I wrote in 2019! It went back three times (pandemic didn’t help) over the next two years - even trying an even more useless dealer - and it turned out t ... |

Here's a puzzler. I returned last week from a blissfully faultless 1,600 mile round trip to Italy (oh, the joy of covering long distance vs. London crawling).
As I was switching off, a notice came ... |

After driving on holiday in a CarPlay enabled car, I thought enough! I had the Unique Auto unit fitted and now wonder why I waited so long!

A regular squirt of white grease around all the hinges is well worthwhile. |
