    Edinburgh Indie for Cambelt change

    Witherspoons in Dean Village or Autohaus in Loanhead ( I use them now because they're handier to get to). Both Audi specialists who know their stuff.

    SQ5 Nearside mirror not dipping in reverse

    Are you always using the same key? I thought I had this issue as well but turned out the dip position was key specific and the second key's dip position was set to the same as normal. Strange as I don't have memory seats.

    Google Earth/Satellite Maps

    I think it depends on what MMI you have, I've got the older 3G High with Connect, it's got a sim slot and needs a valid data card for the fix to work. IIRC it cost about £75 for Congo's patch for the older systems and the Three 'Internet With Legs' sim is about £15 PA.

    Disable headlight washers only?

    On my old b7 the windscreen and headlight washers were on the same fuse and relay. I put a switch in the engine bay to break the earth to the headlight pump which meant I could switch them back on for MOT time. Invariably I forgot though - but it never failed. If they actually cleaned the...

    Plasma tv vs 4K

    About 18 yrs back I bought a Pioneer 505xde 50"plasma for £4K - a shed load back then and for months I got pelters from family/friends for 'wasting' so much money. Picture/sound were excellent and it looked the part so I wasn't bothered. Mind you never let on that the rest of the AV kit was...

    SQ5 Best wheel size for comfort?

    I run the standard 255/40 21s in summer and 255/45 20s in winter. There's not a huge difference in ride quality TBH.

    Lowering. Mistakes were made!

    I replaced the shocks and springs in my sline with iron girders - much better ride :)

    LOL, worth it for me though, I hate the standard display.

    3GP/+ Google Earth Overlay Works Again!

    I've got a 16 plate and paid for the update mentioned above. It's been pretty much OK since then, about 12 months. Occasionally when I go somewhere new it doesn't load up properly, ie it's blurred, but the fix is either to switch the data module off and on (sometimes works), reboot MMI (usually...

    I have Google Earth but Not Showing Satellite image

    Mine froze again today, switched the data module off and on then rebooted MMI - seems to have worked.

    I have Google Earth but Not Showing Satellite image

    I've got a 16 plate and got it working again with a £70 update I bought from someone on here - can't remember his name but there are a few threads on here about google earth that you could search for. After a few months it froze again but this was fixed by clearing the google earth cache - you...
