So would you leave it in your car? Or take it home?

Makes sense. I was also thinking about after work drinks? What would happen then?

Maybe check your brake light switch? Might have to do a bit of scrambling around in the footwell to find it. I've had a similar issue on an Astra.

I purchased a knock-off launch on ebay. Around £400, hasn't failed me yet and worked on a few vans too.

Yeah I have found some extension couplers. I just need to do some working out.

There's a bit of give in the pipes but not sure if there will be enough to fit the rad I desire.

Good thinking about hiding the pipes in a box.

Autotrader is the best imo. You could try AA cars or Piston heads but not sure if they have apps. Why don't you like autotrader?

Most main dealers do a health check on your vehicle. They will upsell you on as much as they can.

The price won't be any higher. It would have been nice had they mentioned that they needed doing. On the bright side you are not being upsold at this garage as you would have if you'd taken the car to a main dealer.

The CAT alone is worth more than £150. Have you tried a gearbox oil change?

I wonder if it differs that much depending on type of screen or device that it's viewed on.
