Re: Dashcams

I have a Thinkware F770 in my car, its probably 4 years old now and I'm sure there are better ones now on the market, but I've been pleased with it so far. I got the Nextbase 222 for the wife's car because a friend recommended it and I found a good deal at the time. Of course the only time she neede...

Re: Prospective new owner (well the wife is anyway)

I went in to drop off a V5c from a car I traded in and had a word with one of their tech's who showed me how to take the boot trim off. Now I just need a pare pair of hand to offer up the guard while I mark the holes.

Re: Dashcams

Bit of a thread resurrection here, just fitted the wife's Nextbase 222 to the Grandland with the hardwire kit. I used fuse 34, which is a 5amp and powers the cigarette lighter and front power socket. The installation instructions say that it doesn't matter what the supply voltage is as long as it do...

Re: Prospective new owner (well the wife is anyway)

Good call, the towing hook was missing so the dealers are going to order one, as were the tyre dust caps, but I think I can stand some from Halfords or similar. The yellow nut cap remover is there and the locking nut key has been retrieved from the glove box and is in the tool-kit where it belongs. ...

I don't seem to be able to send PM's

Hi,
I have tried to send a PM (two actually) but after hitting the submit button, it seems to disappear. I don't seem to have an outbox, only sent and unread sent messages. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Prospective new owner (well the wife is anyway)

I'll drop the back seats tomorrow (got to fit the dashcam anyway) and have a quick look. We had a dog guard in the Mokka which was really quick and easy to install, so I'm hoping this will be the same.
Failing that, will ask my very helpful sales lady.

Re: Space saver spare wheel size

Well, just picked the car up, and it's got the wheel and toolkit in the back which is a billy bonus. I recall that when we had a test drive I mentioned that they should come with one and the salesperson must have thought I knew what I was talking about. In actual fact, I was confusing it with a Hyun...

Re: Prospective new owner (well the wife is anyway)

Well, just picked the Grandland up from the dealers. As a billy bonus it's got the space saver and toolkit in the boot (salesperson must have thought I knew what I was talking about when I mistakenly said that I thought they came with one), so just about sorted. Wife seems to be pleased (she loves t...
