Check out this recent thread - 'windscreen replace......now theres a problem,any ideas..' This will probably explain all..

Seen this on another thread somewhere...something about the remote reciever unit which is located on the windscreen and not been reconnected or damaged etc Have a look at the threads involving front windscreens

Can't beat Nero!! It does everything from video/data/audio and converts everything Only snag is it costs about £20-40 from PC World but it's one of the best..

I really wouldn't bother.. I have one and you really can't see anything other than a squinty image of your kids. I never use it as the normal rear view mirror (in dipped position) is much better.

you a salesman by any chance monkeeboy? - great tips!

I would agree with all comments. My 1.6 Tdci (56 plate) is only the 90ps version, but has none of the pull off problems my old 04 plate 109ps model had....(updated faults?) Still need to make sure you give it enough revs at roundabouts though as can be said of a lot of heavier diesel cars My wife drives it and absolutely loves it, and says she cannot tell the difference to drive between the old one. I can...just, it pulls aways actually better than the old 109ps, but runs out of puff sooner. Still great to drive though

I nearly bought a Seat Altea before my Cmax as they drive very well, and look kinda cool in a wierd way. However funds would only allow the 1.9 TDi and it's a bit old and crude now..

I hope that EGR problems are more common on the older models....my 56 plate 1.6 Tdci seems fine at 14K (have I cursed myself?) I do feel though that as all modern cars are so complicated, there is just more to go wrong. I always, funds allowing, sell cars when the warranty runs out, but it still isnt much fun running back and forth to the service department with problems.

TC Harrison in Burton did me a cracking deal when I bought my CMAX from them recently, cant comment on their after sales though.

...I also dont think that crappy supermarket petrol helps either...low sulphur etc..... I wonder if there is a link between EGR failure and cheap petrol..anyone?

Giving it a blast now and again is a must in my opinion, as is a £3 bottle of winns/millers diesel injector cleaner every few months.....runs smoother too.

59mpg....obviously eased off the accelerator for the mother-in-law's sake...! It's amazing how smooth you can drive whilst watching that trip computer!

how did you get the voucher? -and is it the air con filter or the diesel particulate filter (DPF) ?

Ian Can I ask which garage this was? thanks

Try giving the inside of the windows a good polish too...Autogylm glass polish is best...dirty windows also mist up quicker in my experience too Also regularly open the windows whilst driving to air the car out..
