Re: Problem with car locks

Does the Picanto really require the battery to be disconnected? Also, how long will you be away from it this time?

Over the past 30 years, I have left the majority of my cars for four weeks every other month and never had a single problem. Of course, I started using a conditioner during this time ...

Re: Automobiles for Recreation in the Park - Sunday, September 6th

I typically attend these events, but I will not be present next weekend. I attended the event in May, but I found it somewhat unsatisfactory, particularly due to the inclement weather, which featured rain throughout the morning.

Re: A plethora of problems....

Was my Clk drain the alarm siren in the nearside wheel well? I'm not sure if it would be the same. £100. Simple exchange.

I would advise you to stay away from the potholes. 😅
