It is simple. Then people make it difficult.

We have a lovely smooth downhill section of two lane highway just out of town. I often use sport through there. I've discovered a down side to sport mode. There are quite short passing bays to get past trucks, some are on curves too. On the last trip my wife said to me that I'm turning her...

Drove it. After a week of foul weather, it was bliss.

Now, about that Jesus thread....................

Yes, but it seems the glass fitter couldn't find the issue, and basically gave up. The last report I saw was a stalemate. But someone would have had to blink.

I said in another post that I couldn't have a Mustang in Italy unless I had a small town car as well. It's just too big. Yes, I know people drive large SUV's there, but most I saw were diesel, a V8 petrol engine at 3 or more euros a litre gets expensive. And I remember in the 50's and 60's in NZ...

As a rule Europeans are more direct and can sound abrasive to English speakers. I think Mr Fruitstang is trying to be helpful.

Same here, went from 4 pots to six, different cars but same weights and rotor diameter, the six pots are much stronger.

The way this thread has gone made me say "Jesus wept".

Exactly. We've had a case here where a screen was replaced with an aftermarket screen, the screen people couldn't calibrate the sensors, the dealer didn't want to know as it wasn't OEM, and the owner is caught between them. I'll try and avoid that BS.

As Enzo Ferrari said, my cars are like a mistress, you expect action, not perfection.

I'm not sure about that. NZ is a tiny market, but we're still getting stock. And it's RHD.

The Cupra dealers I dealt with had a glass dept. Perhaps that's not normal?

While a car's under warranty I'll go for OEM and dealer fitment. It saves arguments.

Nothing here.

Whaaat the F? $NZ260,000! $167,000 more than I paid for mine. That's ludicrous. And, they have ponies not horses over there.

Brembos aka hitting a brick wall. I thought my last set up was good, these are phenominal.

As an ex Traffic Officer, and a widely travelled petrolhead who's not averse to breaking stupid laws when appropriate, it's not what they call speeding these days that causes fatalities. We spent our working days often driving or riding at up to twice the limit, accidents were extremely rare. I...

It will be OK. Just a temporary period of angst. The life of a petrolhead seldom runs smooth.

It's brave to buy a car you've not driven, glad it worked out. I've noticed the heat emanating from the car when parked, I think the hood vent is partly the cause.
