Help needed from any ‘wise’ source. I’m in a dilemma with this android auto subject. Seems to me I have three options. 1/ Stay as I am with no phone attached, but phone in car or on person. 2/ Plug the phone into the car with a cable. Or 3/ Plug in a wireless gadget that does all sorts of magic...

Cheers, Kev. Every little helps in this quest for knowledge. Maybe one of our other whizz kids will chip in with their two-pennorth!

Kev. Re your android auto thingy...did you get it sorted? Reason for asking is TonyD has got me interested in this wireless business and I've been looking at the Cuarko thing he mentioned. But, I've also seen a review on a Motorola MA1 which seems to be the bee's knees. My phone is a Motorola...

Are there any wise owls out there who know if it's possible to alter the screen or font size? i wear bifocals, but the screen is positioned just in between my short and distance vision. If I could improve the size it would be a blessing for these tired old peepers.

Nice touch of DIY Clive. Excellent stuff.

We do most of our motoring within a 20 mile radius of home and, over the years, I've learnt to use a very light right foot, keep off the brake as much as poss and anticipate the road conditions. Apart from that no known difference with other drivers.

Morning Tony. Being an old fart on the wrong side of 83 I'm not really into phone apps etc. I use my phone, (a sensibly priced Motorola), for texts and phone calls mainly, so it wouldn't be money well spent in my case. I do miss the voice control though, so the subject is still 'open'.

Not at all. The new dealer makes an offer, if you're ok with it they request a settlement figure, sorts any loss/gain and pays it off when you sign up. On my last but one car I got 1500 more off 'We Buy blah blah' and paid off the balance myself. Then bought the new one from a better haggling...

Me also the paint job and PCP, but I'll be changing after 3 years, don't fancy that thousand plus fourth service cost. I've had PCP on my last 4 cars and always found the trade in value at three years is better, usually higher than the amount owed. I always get a few quotes first before visiting...

Same here Kev, but cancelled after I later read all the bumph. sounds great when the sales are going through the list of good points, but a bit pricey in the long run.

Let's face it Keith, the best computers, laptops, tablets, phones etc need a kick up the backside now and again and the highly technical method of switching on and off usually works.

Hi Tony. Just read your comments and noticed the Cuarko reference. I've done the read up on amazon and agree it looks and probably is a great product, but what does it actually do. I have my music on a USB stick, I use the phone by manually pressing buttons and I'm happy with the in-built sat...

Had my trophy, (Dynamic Red), three weeks now and the only problems I've had are basically down to 'Dumb User Error'! But, hey, I'm getting there. MPG hovers around 68.7 - 74.3, which says it all. I've had Volvo, Hyundai, Ford, Vauxhall, Chrysler, Peugeot and, going back a few years, a Standard...

Clive. Thanks for your words of wisdom. Only trouble is, it reverts back to the settings screen when I start up.

According to the online manual there is a choice of showing an analogue clock on a blank screen. Does anyone know how to shut down the screen to show this?

I can remember double de-clutching an old Morris van! No power steering, squeegee windscreen wipers, semaphore indicators and rock hard suspension. The good old days, eh?

On the 'From Start' gauge mine reads 64.8mpg. More than happy with that.

Brilliant!. Don't make 'em like that anymore.

Hi Clive. Apart from the obvious, what are your own reasons for not buying them? Are they vastly inferior to the HS63?
