Thanks, but I've got all of the plastic rivets I could possibly need!. I did damage one of my last ones reversing over a curb that was higher than I thought, but otherwise they've been very good. Anyway, first come, first served!

Hi Everyone, I ordered a replacement set of painted mudflaps from a supplier recently and they made a shipping mistake, sending me a set painted in white in error. They've replaced them and didn't want them back, so they are free to anyone who wants them. They are complete with plastic rivets...

To me, the Tesla rubber band is not a good design - it and almost caused.me to loose.my fob a weeks back. I was pretty horrified when I pulled my keyring out of my pocket and saw it missing

Source are a massive PITA to get a session going on pay as you go and also very expensive. I'd get my own back for the latter by setting my charge current limit to 1A. Cheap parking then, compared to a meter!

Thanks - I did wonder if it was mechanical or software. I don't know how it knows where the endpoints are - micro switch or current sensing like the windows (or maybe both). Hadn't happened prior to other last software update but that could be a coincidence.

Passenger wing mirror didn't fully unfold. Needed to use the 'Fold Wing Mirror' to fold and then unfold them. Only happened once and I can't reproduce it. Anyone experienced this before?

If they are seeing canbus errors, then they are probably right about a broken wire in the loom. Canbus is a simple, copper, low speed network. When diagnosing, they can infer where the problem is in the loom (or which loom/subloom) by looking at which devices are on the blink and which canbus...

I understand it is the battery case expanding when heating under charge .. a bit alarming but normal.

I was quoted £400 for a full respray of the bonnet, or a bit more if it needs to be blended into the wings if the colour match isn't good enough with just the bonnet done. Not too bad for my choice of local repairer. I did report it to the police via the Met Police website. Because I mentioned...

Sadly not. My car is parked on my driveway close to the pavement and I've always felt that the flashing of headlights might invite trouble. Is it a legal requirement to signal that the car is recording!. I've never had any problems with my car's before, so let's hope it's a one-off

Thanks. These things happen, unfortunately. I've not been impressed with smart repairs on large, flat panels. I think a repaint is going to be needed.

This is why we can't have nice things. Some neanderthal decides my M3 would look better with a certain offensive WWII symbol on the bonnet. Too deep to polish out - difficult to photograph in flat light, but it's through to the primer. Any good body shop recommendations in SW London /...

I've used the rainx kit and it works well. Once you've shaved the resin flat to the surface of the screen, it is almost completely invisible.

Me too 2021.32.20.1 installing.. Maybe it will fix the cameras that 32.10 borked...

Weirdly, I just an update notification to install 2021.32.10, which is what is currently installed. Maybe the SC pushed it to reinstall or re initialise? I've never seen that happen before.
