Looking at your towball photos, your's looks a whole lot better than the one on my Kodiaq. People have previously warned that it's not really possible to put on any sort of cover because of the way it inverts when stored up behind the rear bumper. At the end of last season I forgot to coat it...

Thanks very much for your response. I thought it was likely the smart charger was smarter than me and was just doing its job. The link was very helpful and informative perhaps I should have read it before I bought my Lidl Charger though it was half the price of the recommended Ring one! Thanks...

I have one of the "smart" chargers from Lidl. I found it very easy to use, someone said earlier that these chargers are 6 & 12 volt and you should make sure the correct voltage is selected - the Lidl unit just needs connecting and then decides the voltage of the battery it's connected to -...

I use Milenco Aero 3 mirrors on my Kodiaq which most likely has the same mirror as Johnjhs. I found that the gap between the top of the glass and the mirror body was too narrow for the tapered foot of the clamp to fit inside. It is likely that occasionally this happens when the mirrors are...

I just feel the need to correct the error where "Woolarding" was mentioned. Obviously referring to William Woolard who was mostly seen on BBC (Top Gear and Tomorrows World). The presenter in the video put up by Wayne S is in fact Tony Bastable who worked mostly for ITV and was one of the...
