Hi All,
I've finally joined this forum after years of noseying around!
I've got a 500L MPW 1.6D (2015/65 plate) in racing green and white roof. I've loved the car a lot. The low tax band is great and the 1.6 gives some decent oomph when needed. The 7 seats were great but the kids are growing up so I rarely use them now (probably can't with the latest restrictions!).
I have a couple of questions.
1. Every so often there's a squealing noise which I would have put down to a loose belt but it's always when I'm turning so am thinking it's power steering? If not, it's hard to know if I can top up fluid or whether it's a full electric power steering system and it's £££s to repair.
2. I had my car valeted a year ago and they did the upholstery. Since then it's showing stains all over it. Is this due to the cloth do you think or can it be removed. I want to sell the car in the next 6-12 months and don't fancy a full reupholstery job.
3. Has anyone upgraded the standard Uconnect to a DAB version?
Only think I would like is an automatic diesel with the 1.6 multijet engine.
