  1. I've got a dilema which is causing my wife to suggest that we have bought a duff car ! How dare she I hear you say......

    Well, we've got another baby due at the end of April and as you're only recommended to use rear facing car seats for young babies it would be nice to put her in the front. However, you are also recommended not to use child seats in the front with an active Airbag.

    Therefore our baby will need to go in the back and we won't be able to see her/his face. Neither of us are comfortable with this.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on solving this ? I thought we could disable the Passenger airbag but Lexus Manchester told me it isn't possible without disabling ALL the airbags and they won't do it anyway.

    Thanks in advance,

    Trev.

  2. Mine varies drastically. I do alot of motorway driving and when going steady (80'ish) I get about 400 from the tank. When I'm late or taking advantage of some nice twisty roads that goes down to sub 350. I'll leave you to work out the mpg....

    I'm playing about with unleaded/super unleaded and optimax at the moment to see what differences I can feel. So far I've not done enough consistent journeys to come to a conclusion.

  3. I saw this advertised on the MCN website

    ...'a small cut and paste from the above'...

    The Auto-Unique 'Pressure Guard'

    The Auto Unique Pressure Guard is a small, highly visible device that replaces your existing dust cap and monitors your tyre pressure.

    It boasts a full certification from the German TUV agency, the highly regarded independent safety body, for its accuracy, sensitivity and effectiveness.

    A small, tough plastic window contains two indicators, one red and one green. Any loss in pressure greater than 2 psi from when Pressure Guard is fitted means more of the warning red indicator appears in the clear cap.

    They're strong and have two-built in safety features to prevent sudden air-loss should they be kicked or if you hit a kerb.

    It's a simple and cost-effective way to keep your tyres and steering healthy. Suitable for both bike and car tyres *.

    My only question is how do they deal with tyre pressure changes re: temperature changes. Otherwise a very good idea.

    I may try some. I'll update with any other info/research I find.

  4. I've never been one to be fussie (spelling ?) about where I park but now I feel even better .... :smilegrin:

    Obviously except for those mindless vandals who just scratch or dent your motor. At least thiefs have some sort of brain even if it might be misplaced ... :). that last comment is slightly tongue in cheak !
