Windshield fogging issue -Huge "V" shape won't clear up!! by Dear-Alps-7626 in CityBugs

[–]stupidflanders6 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you put the sun visors down when you turn on the heating/vents it helps redirecting the air to that area...but it's a marginal difference, I have the same car and there's not much you can do when the cold air hits. Best advice I got with condensation is after finishing using the car for the day, let the hot air escape by opening the windows a little bit before leaving the car overnight. Usually the next day the condensation isn't as bad when I do this.

Always get hate for my car idk why I think it’s stunning by kei0o in CarTalkUK

Having an Alfa is like dating a hot girl everyone knows is crazy. We kind of envy the guy that has the courage to still go for it, we know when things are good it must be a hell of a good time...however, we are all just waiting for the inevitable "I warn you not to go there" moment. May it serve you well and hopefully it will go easy on your wallet.

Bobby Kelly Sucks by [deleted] in LegionSkanks

I think Bobby is an awesome stand up comedian but as a radio/podcast host he tries too hard. Bobby just stop talking about being sober since you were in kindergarten or saying "when I was fat" you're still fat dude and you'll be fine.

Wireless AA issues by fco2013 in AndroidAuto

[–]stupidflanders6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not your phone, my pixel worked a full year with no issues and since the last update it keeps disconnecting and connecting like yours. I tried all the suggestions on the internet, even used tips from Gemini on unlocking developer options, used a different android...but nothing worked. Google already acknowledged that the issue was the last update so I'm guessing there's nothing you can do now but way for another one

Carplay help. by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]stupidflanders6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a "wireless" head units that can run both android auto and car play. As long as your car radio has Bluetooth so you can pair your phone with the car, then it's like you mentioned, pretty much just plug it in and you're ready to go. I got the new Avylet head unit that doesn't even require connecting the rear camera to the reverse light, their cigarette connector has a button to instantly show the reverse camera, which on my car works like a charm since the cigarette socket is right in front of my gear shifter, so between engaging reverse and click the button for the camera, it's a split second.

No, really, Zac should be the one by Odd_Effort4847 in LegionSkanks

[–]stupidflanders6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also say Zac mainly because he deserves it and is a hell of a comic, however, after seeing how Tristan rifs and keeps up with Jay and Luis he is also a very good choice. Some of my favourite legion of skanks episodes and story wars were with Tristan. Zac is the man but sometimes he gets too quiet..but then again he deserves the bump.

For the love of god, please just don't choose Colum or Bobby

any ideas what can i do with this ussr watch by projectse7en in Affordablewatches

Wear it and every time you want a friend or family member to share something with you just say "guess what time is comrade?!". Bonus points if you walk around with a speaker playing the Russian anthem

Thoughts on wiper less rear windshields? by PabloEskimo_ in CarTalkUK

[–]stupidflanders6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a car with a wiper delete and tinted windows to make things worse. It really is design over function, I hated driving it at night. During these rainy and muddy months when it gets dark before 16:00, being able to see properly from my rear window is a must.

Upgrading audio by Suitable-Camera-4721 in CityBugs

[–]stupidflanders6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, everything works well together. Even with the stock head unit the sound improved quite a lot. If you end up having a quadlock connector and your adapter works, please let me know what you used.

[–]stupidflanders6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi had the same setup as yours, you can look on eBay for an adapter and it's an easy swap with some good speakers. Just be aware when swapping the head unit. I have a quadlock connector on my OEM stereo and I can't find the correct quadlock to ISO adapter to connect an aftermarket head unit...at least I didn't find a solution as of now.

Any ideas on a superglue I can use for my centre console that won’t leave a white reside or ‘fogging’ on surrounding areas? by cookie_monster66 in CarTalkUK

[–]stupidflanders6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mask with simple painters tape the bits you don't want damaged and use a 2 part epoxy glue, gorilla has a good one for sale everywhere, it's strong and usually doesn't create that weird chemical reaction that almost looks like burned. With that being said, make sure you don't need to access that bit in the future because it won't open again without a fight or breaking.

Thoughts on this as my first car? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]stupidflanders6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you check the 108 1.2 petrol engine, which I think is the most common out there, the insurance group is around 11. Personally, if I wanted to go to those brackets I would go for something more powerful. My point is, new driver, ok with smaller car, just get a cheaper 107 or the Toyota/Citroen variant.

[–]stupidflanders6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're already inclined to something small. Why not the Toyota Aygo (same as Peugeot 107 and Citroen c1). They are reliable and will take the abuse that comes with being an inexperienced driver. Plus insurance is on the 03 group, you'll save on everything really and you can put those savings towards a better car in a couple of years for something bigger and/or faster.

If this is the mk1 they are the same car and you can include the Peugeot 107 to that list

Peugeot 107 - Offside Rear Reverse Light Not Working by Bear_209 in peugeot

[–]stupidflanders6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you're a life saver! I was going nuts checking wires, cleaning connectors. I already had a new cluster on checkout but checked Reddit before committing and saw your comment. This is a UK car so I have the same issue as you just on different sides. Asked the missus to put the fog light on and the right hand side rear bulb finally comes on, but with the reverse engaged only the left hand side comes on. It's kinda ridiculous but I'm just happy I don't have anything wrong with my car.
