There's an Evoque in the Goodyear tyre advert showing on UK TV channels, but I don't recall anyone ever mentioning having Goodyear tyres on their Evoque, never mind having seen any. Anyone know if th...

I got the warning a few weeks ago. I went to the dealer's service centre and they replaced it on the spot for no charge. No 'contact' with the car made, so the above comments about resetting stuff do...

What does your Trip B MPG show Tim? Presumably you've not reset that one, so it should show your total stats?

  Thread: Service Indicator Reset
Post: RE: Service Indicator Reset

My dealer failed to reset it on both services. I got them to pick the car up on a day I didn't need it to sort it out and replace the wheel centres which were corroded, so at least it got valeted.

Post: RE: Changing the rear disc and pads?

At 2nd year service, the dealer said I probably need to change my rear pads in about 6 months as they had 'only' 6mm left. So I confirmed, "They start with 10mm?" "Yes" "And need to be changed at a...

Hmmm...well that arrow's been pointing at that roundabout since about the time of the Olympics. A fault I guess then.

Post: Sat Nav - what does a black arrow signify?

Not described in the manual as far as I can see, I have a black arrow pointing to a roundabout by City Airport, London. It's been there for months. It's not a favourites icon is it?

I don't recall anyone mentioning door seal problems last winter? Strange? No probs for me, but I live on the outskirts of London and the car's garaged at night.

A friend told me that Autoglym recommends their Vinyl & Rubber Care product can be used to stop door seals sticking too. Other providers of similar products are available no doubt!

It looks more like it's based on a London taxi. It may look more interesting in something other than black (and plenty of cars do look good in black) ...but I'm not convinced about this yet.
