That's a good point too, cheap insurance.

The cup holder is in the right place. Coffee cup sits at a nice height with the right amount of support for the cup. If you need to constantly look at your heater controls (????) then don't use it.

If you have cup of coffee in and after you've cleared your screen you want to change the heater speed and to blow on your feet as well as the screen you have to feel for the right button under your cup, a pain in the arse.

"The dash is cheap and nasty." The dash is 15-20 years old! I'd say it is spot on for it's era.

You've not taken one apart yet then.

I don't think the electronics are overly complicated. I find the heater and A/C are quite straight forward. However, if there was a scale on complicatedness with 1 being least and 5 being very complicated I would rate the things like indicators and horn at a 3.8.

For what it is they do, the electronics are over complicated. You're talking about the electrical system, which is different.

Just thought of another one:
Temp gauge is pants, very inaccurate compared to the new digital one ive installed.

You're the second person to tell me this, this week. I'm sure my mums Vauxhaull Astra has it though? I didn't know this fact of course.

I think it's bo11ocks, I had a VW with a heated screen.

Ain't life so hard.

Easiest dash I've had to take apart. You can have the speedo binnacle out in 10mins no problem.

I should know, I've had to do it about 6 times.[/QUOTE]

If you put a chocolate bar in the centre console, it melts. Quickly.

Well that's with 6 years NCB and limited mileage as I only drive at weekends MOST times as I work in London and use pubic transport. But it is fully comp.

When I didnt have limited mileage I used Adrian Flux and it was 380 fully comp. That was when I was 23 - 24 and will 5 yrs NCB.
I'm with Noel Dazely now.

I found that this happens with Lipsyl as well. Even cherry flavour.
