Everyday Is A School Day
 
As the saying goes.
If it is, we all must have learnt something today?

I learnt that I've been locking my car wrong.
past cars was single press to lock, double press to lock and activate deadlocks.
On the 8 its the other way round.

Single press to lock with deadlocks.
Double press and you lock it without the deadlocks.

What have you learnt?

I've just learnt that! :)

Second hand S8 replacement cats are less than 10% of the cost of new ones! (thanks to Goran...+++)

Surely that's only a D3 thing?
I don't think D2's do that?

Glad to help, and thank you for freeing up some space in my house.
I hope those ones last for a lot of miles.

The D2 does not have deadlocks, so yes its a D3/D4 thing.

I've learn that when the rear bumper is wedged on a tow bar put the car in lift mode before driving off.
It will save your bumper, heat shield, spare wheel well bucket and possibly anything else that's attached to it that I can't see right now.

Oh no that doesn't sound good.

ScottD3 12th November 2014 06:59 AM

Nope.

****ed right off.
It was the last good bumper!!

Well every cloud and all that, time for a s8 or w12 back bumper apron.

That would be nice but since I don't have a S8 or a W12 I feel I it would be a lie to have such a bumper.
But if I did go down that route I'd have to do the complete kit.
I could not do half.
