I’m not that confident with things like batteries and wiring etc. Also had no time to get it done in the week plus the weather has been shocking the last few days.
Also, you mention a 13mm bolt holding the battery to the tray? I don’t have that.......the AA fella mentioned it too.

Got a 2.0 TDi excellence 4-Drive DSG. Great car. Made a couple of basic changes like mirror fold in first touch and left mirror drop.
It’s Nevada white, really impressed with it.

Ha. I’ve actually not tested it.... as I was short on time... bet it doesn’t work. I’ll check tomorrow.

Oh, i’ll give most jobs car related a go. Just not confident that I know what i’m doing with batteries, wiring etc.
I want to learn more stuff but it’s just time at the moment really. Didn’t have to pay to have the battery fitted by the AA so didn’t lose any money l on that.
Quick was and dry and under bonnet wipe down, also gave the (sagging) insulation a clean, might need to replace it though as it’s not looking terribly good these days.
The marks that are left are due to the material having worn through the black to the multiple colour backing.

No.
I’ve messaged them about it and they’ve sent me something to try so I’ll have a bash when I get a second.

Can you share that with me by private message?No.

In addition to my thread on the car I’ve also used a quik detailed for the first time, never have before and likely never will again.. not hugely impressed and I’m pretty sure it’s caused a few scratches here and there, the car wasn’t really dirty as such so it seemed a good time to try it... results are below, but you can’t see the marks from this far away!!
To be honest it’s just a chance to upload a gratuitous photo of the back of my car... loving the way it looks at the back now.

It was more developed as an interim between maintenance washes as an option for waterless washes, I was intrigued by comments from a few people so thought I’d give it a go... not hugely impressed. I’ll stick to maintenance washes.
From the meguairs bottle..
“Quik Detailer is the missing link between washes. Simply spray on and wipe off with a Meguiar?s Supreme Shine Microfibre or a 100% cotton terry towel. Quik Detailer removes contaminants safely without scratching your paint”

Im all for this
Give the car a going over after you have washed and dried it
It lasts for weeks so does not need applying after every wash and gives ultimate beading and protection as its a ceramic detailer

They are great for top ups after washing, I'd recommend Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer. You can get it from ECP for about £7 during their usual sales, offer great beading and protection

Two more products to try, I can see the benefit of using it after maintenance washes to top up the protection thats already on there. Im a little disappointed that it doesn't really work for the intended purpose very well though. I always wondered how a waterless wash could work... turns out it doesnt. lol

Well thats the car's xmas sorted, and if we can find a bright side to this at least you have a spare wheel, more and more of the cars these days just have the stupid can.
Too true, Im surprised its taken to long to become such a common thing, I had an MG ZS 180 when they first came out and that was ahead of its time as it came with a can... which was useless when i needed it as the hole was quite big and the stuff didnt seal it. I was so happy! ha!
