Re: Tyres.

I've just moved over some posts from an old thread which was dug up last night.
Gents, if there is an existing and recent thread on "Tyres" like this one then please post on that rather than dig up an old one on the same subject from March .
Thanks.

Re: Recommended Tracker

I agree with Cluck.
A good Thatcham approved tracker in the new categories (S5+ImoB ) is going to cost around £500 for install and around £300 for 2 years subscription.
You already have a tracker fitted OEM in the car which is Thatcham approved.
Just renew your existing subscription.

Re: Touch screen crashed

Mine is a MY19.5 so not too old so is the change only in 20, 21? I don't think there was a change as regards model year - more likely the version of software installed on the pro. It's quite a rare thing but people shouldn't worry as leaving the car for 10 minutes or so to allow it to shut down pro...

Re: Touch screen crashed

Not uncommon with the incontrol software. It was known as the "Petrol station black screen". People found that after filling with petrol the infotainment was still shutting down when they went to restart the car after paying. It appears the time taken is just right to confuse the crap out ...

Re: Service intervals?

Around 2019 the service schedules for the 4 pot petrols changed to every 2 years or mileage whichever comes first. In most cases they will be done on date and the car will begin a countdown in miles but it's extrapolating your usage to coincide when your due date is. You can also pop your vin in the...

If you tap/click on the small pencil at the head of your post you should be able to edit it and sort it out yourself.

Re: Ftype R 2015 won't start, new battery
