I spent 8 hours getting home from Hemel Hempstead to Welwyn. The A1 was a car park with cars scattered everywhere and most facing the wrong way!. I gave up at Midnight and left my beloved car in Hatfield and walked the final 5 miles. The good news was that when I went back this morning my little beauty was still there looking lovely - its was obviously either to cold for thieves or they realsied that the surrounding roads were at a stand still and the get away would be slow. Even with the snow button on the auto gear box struggled at times and the back end was swinging like a beauty - did manage a 360 doughnut to the amazment of the commuters this morning. I acted as if that was my intention but in reality the car had a mind of its own. To make it worse the dashboard flashed something unfriendly to tell me the back wheels were spinning - I know it was I was driving it!!!

I've just had my IS200 se fitted with a Nokia car kit and the engineer told me that it is not possible to have the stereo to mute when the phone rings. :o Apparently the car had multi something or other wiring and will cause the ABS etc. to stop working properly! Being a complete novice to this I was wondering whether anyone else had heard the same thing or if there was a work around. The engineer did mention about putting in a new radio loop cositng about £50+ . Help! Matthew
