Stop start not working is usually a first sign of the battery nearing the end of its useful life. Or that you haven't been using the car much to charge it. Batteries tend to get much weaker after very roughly 5 or so years.

Thank you for this excellent guide.

I don't like it, I wouldn't buy it at a standard car price. Also I'm still not keen on the new front ends, the old ones have the menacing look, particularly the early sharks gills.

Regarding music playing, I have an old Ipod plugged in within the arm rest which works very well.

I do prefer the original shark's gills front end of the earlier cars. IMHO this has never been improved with the various face-lifts.

I think my mid life crisis started in my 20s with a couple of 3 litre Capris and continued.......

Taking it easy, 36mpg with average speed 61mph over 144 miles. Normally about 26mpg without going nuts.

My side vents are black

Mine has the black pack, the bonnet vents are the same colour as the bonnet. Is this a MY variation?

I've dynamatted mine, carefully, clips all re-used.
