    Newbie from Hereford - BRZ

    I test drove a silver auto in 2016 from a dealer in Hemel Hempstead. Low mileage ... appears owner just used it occassionally and left it garage. 14k on 3 year old iirc.

    Funny intermittent smell when air con is on

    You might have bacteria building up in the a/c system. You can get a smoke device you let off in the car, with the a/c running, to neutralise it. Plus a new cabin filter.
  3. First a GT86 followed my BRZ from 8/9 (DAZnnnx) then I passed a TRD (xnnTRD) around 10pm near j10 heading East. Anyone here?
  4. The dealer has to give at least three months warranty ....

    Northamptonshire Newbie

    Nearly snap ...
  7. Happened to me years ago. Alfa 75 Limited Edition .. brochure said electric rears windows .. came with manual ... but there they covered themselves with E&OE which basically means "we could make a mistake in this and there is no come-back". My dealer had a very long standing relationship with Alfa and knew a couple of directors. Apparently they simply had lots of manual winding rear doors and so changed the production line to use them up. 75 was about to be discontinued. Didn't bother me too much as that car was a hoot to drive and I rarely had rear passengers ... the last front engined, rwd Alfa until the recent Giulia.

    Shell V-Power > CEL

    Pump nozzle wouldn't fit filler. In UK diesels are larger diameter.

    Flat battery - locked out - BROKE key

    There is a small hole in the key through the metal part so I put a thin allen key through it to get a better grip.

    No Sound From USB Connection

    Stock MY17 BRZ unit plays usb mp3 tracks. Also has aux port. Upgrade (Alpine) plays usb but aux is disabled but then you get bluetooth, DAB+ & satnav ... and yes .. expensive upgrade!

    No Sound From USB Connection

    Think you need usb and audio jack with an iphone ... check the manual ... My daughter had same problem with her Bini and a cable with both connections solved it ... (then the radio packed up!)
  12. You should still get it serviced ... that could affect the warranty. The actual recall for the work could still be months away ...

    Improving DAB reception (AutoDAB)

    It's not great on my BRZ but then that might be where I drive most ...

    Ruined my windscreen

    Hate to think what it does to soft paint then!

    Are newer tyres softer?

    You should fit new tyres on the rear ...
  19. BRZ is snowfoamed, polished and waxed, and hiding from rain in my garage until very early tomorrow morning. Hoping the roads dry out overnight or it will look like a field by the time I get to Goodwood :-(

    Worst Car Ever Driven

    Toyota Aygo ... they forgot one cylinder ... bit of a problem on the hills of Kefalonia ... But then I should have guessed as my first hire car in California was a Geo Metro .. 3 cyl and auto ... got chased in SF by the cable car and up hill ... it was quicker than the Metro! I even turned the a/c off :-)
