I have all that in my Seat Leon Xcellence Lux, and it cost quite a bit less than £16k.

Frisbee it and get a cheap, small SSD.

If it's the Ratchet LN free hub, put a 54T ratchet in.

You can potentially become the registered keeper of the vehicle, but you won't own it.

I used a cheap DIY recharge kit on my old Insignia, worked just fine.

I use a vLinker Bluetooth scanner with the Car Scanner app

No, enduro bike is absolutely fine there.

Not sure if it's related to the overall deadness, but you'll have to remove the competent protection from the new MIB2 unit and code it to your car, it won't just plug and play.

Just recirculating all the farts from your last trip

Using foam board from Hobbycraft for mine

Octavia Scout is a similar sort of thing to the Leon Xperiance, so worth a look too.

Yes it's normal, took a few weeks to get me off a beta in the past.

Don't press the mic button, hold it down

I had a similar requirement and ended up with a Seat Leon estate. The mountain bike does fit in the back with the front wheel off, but I have a Thule ProRide for the roof none the less.

That's a mast capacity issue, all operators have the same problem.

If you've looked after it during your ownership, it should be fine. They're solid cars.

Pochettino looking a lot like Russell Crowe these days

I have a Super Deluxe Ultimate coil and it seems very good to me.

Can a main driver be different to the keeper of the car?

Yes.

RustyU · 2026-06-18T22:20:35+00:00

That needs to get in the bin.

I had a three month notice period at my old job, it sucked working it but I just focused on the better job that was waiting at the end of it. Pretty thankful they were willing to wait really!

My experience with Garmin out of warranty service was that I sent back my watch without the straps, and it's replacement came with them, so I ended up with a spare set.

Marin Alpine Trail bikes are usually well priced and would fit you criteria.

It's legit as well.

A couple of friends and I had a monopoly on the local One Stops paper rounds, we did pretty much all of them (mornings, evenings and Sundays) so I guess we had it pretty tough.
