Firstly, I know the stuff is worse than useless, but I'd like to have something as close to standard in the boot. I used up my sealant on a puncture a few months ago - it didn't actually work, but that's besides the point. I tried to order a new canister from Eurospares, but after about 6...

Hi - does anyone know if the interior boot space is identical between the Gran Cabrio MC and the Gran Cabrio and Gran Cabrio sport? My understanding is that the MC is slightly longer than the other two models, but I'm not sure where this extra space goes. Thanks

Does anyone have any recommendations for a soft bag for luggage that sits nicely on the back seat of a Gran Cabrio. Ideally something pretty much cube shaped.

Right - currently on a road trip, and as seems to be the norm on these occasions, I'm getting some error messages. It started with just parking sensors, which came and went 2 or 3 times over a couple of days. Then I got EPB failure along with ESC and ASR failure. No change in the way the car...

I've googled this and not found anything, so I figured I'd ask the question on here. 2013 Gran Cabrio - The analogue clock probably gains about 1 minute / week - which is extremely annoying. I wouldn't mind if it lost a minute / week as that would be simple to rectify. Are there any solutions...

Hi, The radio reception in my GranCabrio has recently deteriorated massively - to the point where it's not even worth trying to listen to anything. Not the biggest problem in the world, but I would like to fix it. I have no idea what's involved in picking up a radio signal in a GranCabrio - I...

I have some 16" GTV alloys fitted with Avon winter tyres. I was using them on my 156 GTA SW, so I know they definitely fit that. I don't know what else they would fit. The tyres are pretty good - I would say at least 6mm of tread remaining. Available to collect from the HP16 postcode area

All - what is a realistic average speed on German autobahns? I'm getting the overnight ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland - disembarking at 8am. The interim destination is Salo on Lake Garda, and I'd like to get as much distance covered on day 1, so that the remainder of the trip can be done...

Is there some magic technique for removing the flexi brake lines on a Gran Cabrio - or is it straightforward? My understanding is that the connector should be free to rotate around the brake pipe as you undo it, but this definitely wasn't the case on my car. I only started the job as I thought...

How difficult would it be to rejig the roof open / close switch on a Gran Cabrio so that you touch it once and the windows all drop and then the roof opens fully. Likewise for close - touch it once and the windows all drop and then the roof closes fully.

I'm busy planning my 2nd annual lockdown detail on my car, and this year I want to give the wheels a proper clean which means removing them one (or two) at a time. I have 2 trolley jacks - 1 * 3 ton and 1 * 2 ton - I also have 2 pairs of 6 ton axle stands. Last year I had a half hearted attempt...

Whilst replacing a broken front number plate the grommet that the bracket screws into on the bumper ended up inside the bumper and I can't retrieve it. I removed the bracket to straighten it out. Any idea what I need to buy to replace it? Neither Eurospares or Scuderia show the UK spec bracket...

I figured I'd post this in here, as I suspect it gets more traffic than the events sub-forum - apologies if I'm breaching protocol. I'm looking for a special occasion restaurant (25th Wedding Anniversary) around Lake Como - we'll be staying in Tremezzo, but Bellagio and other centre lake places...

In theory I'm off on holiday in a couple of weeks. As I'll be travelling through several European countries, and police and border staff might be a little sensitive at the moment, I figure I should get some kind of GB sticker. I've got 4Dot plates, so there's no room for the panel on the left...

Does anyone here use any kind of water filter for the final rinse when cleaning their car? If so, what set up do you have, and would you recommend it?

Not sure if these are well known on here, but I just got a pair for my Gran Cabrio MC. With a number in the format XXX 1NN, i.e. 5 standard width characters and a 1, the front plate is almost exactly the same size as the mounting plate on the front bumper. On the rear it leaves enough room...

The alarm on my Gran Cabrio keeps going off randomly and I need to get it looked at. I'm not 100% sure it comes under the umbrella of "essential", but I suspect my neighbours might think it does. I'm in South Bucks, but prepared to travel to some degree.

Getting ready for my roadtrip starting on Friday. Car nice and clean. Totally ignoring the fact that Coronavirus is likely to lead to Fallas being cancelled in Valencia. I've been caught out by my trusty magnetic GB sign not sticking to anywhere suitable on the back of my Gran Cabrio. I presume...

Any suggestions on some decent seat protectors for the rear seats in a Gran Cabrio. I'm going to be using soft bags, but the one I've just bought has got metal studs on the base. Something that's tailored to fit the seat base exactly would be ideal, but if available I suspect it will be pricey.

Hi - I'm in the early stages of planning my summer road trip - I've got a villa booked in Tuscany and a hotel booked near Lake Como for the way back, but the rest is still up in the air. The trip will be in August. I'm strongly considering going via Austria and crossing the alps via the...
