Hi All, I’ve had a amber parking brake issue warning light come on the dash of my D3 manual. I poped it into my local garage Friday when it came on and they were unsure what the fault was and it booked in for them to investigate further. As it and electronic parking brake I’m now stressing no...

In the end went for the mxs 5.0 as finances could quite run to the 7.0. Like the sound of your plan must admit I was thinking if this works I was thinking about getting my stepson who is a sparky to run me a spur off our existing outside socket down to near where the car is parked so I can...

So if it has a 12s socket I can basically buy the adapter then plus straight in that way ? As seen a really good solution

Well today is D day battery charge is out on delivery from Amazon, so hopefully if it arrive not to late and hook it up. Not sure I’m confident to leave it charging overnight on the drive overnight so might have to hook up for a while then disconnect again till the morning and re connect. One...

If it’s brown it has to be HP thanks all for your help

I do like that idea be good to see some pictures at some point as I’m really not very technical. I’ve order the ctek from amazon so that will come tomorrow then i’ll Connect it up and hopefully that will do the trick. Roughly how long do you think it will take to charge ? Thanks Matt

Hi Gary I’m have to have a look re the towing socket as it cane with e detachable tow bar but never had the cover off to see what sockets it has, didn’t think about going through the grill that’s a great ideas I’ve got an outside socket so should have enough length on an extension to run to it...

Hi Stuart reading about it now looks good, are the cables long enough to call neck close bonnet and out charger in the car as our drive is very exposed and open to the road Thanks Matt

Hi Lynall Thanks for this, i’m Glad that my gut feeling was right I’ll get a smart charger and hook it up and hopefully this will do the trick and I ok to leave the battery connected and in that car when charging ? Thanks Matt

Hi all Battery in my mk 3 seem lower and other half is saying light etc are bright. It only gets short runs about 10 miles round£ trip 3 times a week and the other half has a habit of not dropping it onto access suspension height when she parks it on the drive for a couple of days which I...

Hi all Some how the Bonner catch ( the hook that holds it closed) has become bent and no longer lines up with the hole it goes into. Have managed to man handle it into place and lock as a temp measure. But I would like to replace as looks easy to do, only 2 bolts. After a fruitless google...

Hi Gary Thanks for the reply, it's a 2006 wow I though a dealer solution would be expensive but that ludicrous. I'm not the most technical or diy competed person in the world so not sure about checking the battery but my step son is an apprentice sparky so will mention this to him re the...

hi all I've just bought my first discovery, its a mk3 but it only came with one key and the fob that they key is mounted in has also seen better days. I also have noticed it is sluggish locking and unlocking the vehicle . Had a quick google to see about additional key but didn't seem to turn...
