    Light throttle misfire

    I had the "stuttering" (and occasional stalling). First part of my journey was in stop start up to 30mph. I used sport or manual to keep the revs up a bit to try to smooth out. Autoexpress also reported this on their Golf long termer.

    Light throttle misfire

    My understanding is that there is a software fix for this hunting and the stalling when cold. I experienced both of these, but didn't keep the car long enough to reach the first service.

    I have a squeak, but thought it was the rear side panel. I did not think of it being on there, but it might just be. Whereabouts did you put the card to stop the squeak?

    Car Seats - ISOFIX or not?

    Sorry about that. The towel probably is enough, but the plastic also caught any rubbish from going on the bench either side of the child seat. It also had a protector for the back of the seat in front. Stops mucky feet marks.

    Car Seats - ISOFIX or not?

    Argos, 740/9628 Now only £4.99 for clearance. You might be lucky if there are some left in the stores. I expect Halfords etc do similar.

    Car Seats - ISOFIX or not?

    I used a Britax seat with this tensioner in the Volvo with leather seat. I got a clear plastic protector from Argos. The seat stayed put for about two years, the leather and foam only took a few days to recover shape, and no damage is noticeable when sitting in it. In fact the booster seat...
