I am going to wait till the car gets its next service. If you go anywhere near an Arnold Clark dealership with a problem they charge £100 plus for a diagnostic test, even if that it highly unlikely to show up a fault code, which is the case if it is suspension related.

Done just over 3400 miles now.

Your number 3 is common, the speed limit detection is not very accurate.

I now have shiny brake discs and am sure the issue was the wheel cleaner I was using. It is Turtlewax redline wheel cleaner and boy does it turn everything red, more so that any other of the cleaners that turn brake dust deposits red. It really stains the brake disc itself.

Our car has also started to make the creaking noise. I think it might be the polystyrene used to house the battery and jack.

The car before, a Fiat Tipo, did exactly the same.

Summer mpg about 58. Winter mpg about 44.

Every time I park the car wet, on starting up the next day, the rear brake unsticks and there is a grinding noise, as the corrosion is worn away.

Shame, because reheating is now my favourite feature.

Recorded a new low of 14.6mpg after half a mile of driving, and warming the car up using the app.

When we got ours in the summer and took it on holiday, so long runs at 50-60mph, we averaged 58.9mpg. Now, in the winter & short runs it is 44.2mpg. That is still better than the Fiat it replaced and my wife's Honda Civic. They would also drop mpg in the winter, just not as dramatically.

That quirkiness and smiles created was born out in the Carwow review. Mat Watson clearly enjoyed reviewing the car. I enjoy it like I have enjoyed my Fiats. The Italians have a way of making even the mundane fun.

Every car I have owned, since owner forums have been thing, I have joined that forum. They are all a mix of good and bad, dependent on that owner's experience. The car that had more negatives than any other, was Jaguar, and the S-Type we had. It went after a £1k plus repair bill and seeing so...

Tried the app activated heating last night and it worked really well.
