@Painterdave I have 2 interiors........one in the car and a spare........
Im going to take the existing trim out and use the best bits and get them retrimmed in new leather........
so yes complete retrim.........

I see the politicians are back to their own sweet ways again......
rather than getting on with it they're arguing the toss about nothing and getting offended by the improper use of language
to quote the most namby pamby one I heard........"moderate your language so we can all feel safe going about our jobs"
another one......"brought 'this honourable member' to tears..........the words surrender , capitulation, traitor and treason"
oh get a fikkin grip would you........
hows BREXIT going or are you just trying to delay it a bit longer by wasting time in venting your own personal frustrations about nothing

its not going to look like that for much longer.......lol
its back to original Lagoon Blue....and the interior is changing from green/grey/charcoal to cream leather.......
mechanicals done.........chassis is sorted......new shocks, brakes, rebuilt engine, refurbed gearbox, new tyres, new bushes all over the place, etc etc etc......
I've had the car almost 12 months........and its moved about 30ft.........altho' having said that it ran well on the rollers when I took it for its MoT
passed that with flying colours last month........now in the 'off' season.........its paint and trim time........fingers crossed..........
oh and removal of the sunroof.......lol

what are they reading?.......if theyre in the right pressure range then I suggest the batteries could be on the way out and you'll need new ones
other than that....not sure.......
-
Blow the tyre up.....when it's within the right pressure it'll go out....
I think they come on if the fears drop below 30psi and the front 26psi.......there or there abouts........
You should have 37 at the back and 34 in the fronts........

I'm sorry to say that the new Logo still isn't growing on me..........
I must be a right 'owd duffer...........

Car 1 - Na launch edition
Pros - cheaper, manual so potentially more fun, uses 95 Ron, nice colour, oyster interior. Better mpg, smaller wheels so cheaper tyres, potential future classic? Plenty fast, less likely to depreciate?
Cons - older, manual so not so good on the commute, chance of short lived clutch, interior will get grubby quickly, shorter tyre life
Car 2 - S IPS
Pros - faster, newer, IPS good for the commute, No clutch issues, My12 so better interior?, Dark interior so easy to keep clean
Cons - worse mpg, auto not as engaging? 98+ Ron, bigger wheels so more tyre expense, too fast to enjoy on the roads? Unusual colour. Expensive to buy, bit more depreciation likely, harder to sell on
I am completely torn! Has anyone experienced both and care to comment? Do I have any of my pros/cons wrong? Does it not really matter as both are awesome.
just a quick one on your criteria......
I have an N/A and never use 95ron.......Im sure it says in the petrol flap not less than 97ron
as for IPS.......you'll find it adictive
as for depreciation........I think the cars you are looking at have done their depreciating........
I dont think colour has any bearing on issues with any future sale.......
I tried several before I jumped..........partly because I waivered.........I missed 3 because I was too slow.......
I went with a colour I hadnt looked at........and the gearbox Id never tried before (IPS)...........I love it......
which ever you choose you wont regret it........
