First few miles

All this talk about colour, dirt and car washes.....I was told to buy a waterless wash for my new silver/grey ntec. And Im absolutely astonished by this stuff and the results it produced. Even after the rain, my car is shiny and spoteless -- literally. There are a few different brands. Ebay is good ...

Mud guards.

Its because they are so small and hard black plastic .... the area I looked at was the wheel arch which didnt seem to be protected...I imagine rubber things arriving. Anyway its a 2010 ntec and they cost next to nothing on Amazon if anyone wants them! Im also having parking sensors fitted next week ...

Mud guards.

Reverse camera

How interesting! I just like the rapid bleeping when Im dangerously close...honestly this one makes it appear that I have nearly another car length to go, when in fact Im dangerously close.....Ive always used my eyes but I suppose it will help when guessing - time will tell if I get used to it. But ...

Parking Sensors !!!

oh good lord - J10? I just searched from the forum home - didnt see a distinction. I will try to find the right section next time. Admin: the email links which are underlined work a treat.....this one didnt work without the underline, so I had to copy and paste. Not sure why this is?? Thanks

Reverse Camera

Its the ntec but a 2010 model. Apart from getting the aerial stuck, not being able to use the main beam and the camera being (on mine) dangerously inaccurate - its all good so far!
